Hi all,
Helping Vivian today on the Spitfire model, the gear warning (stall) klaxon
wasn't working for me [again] although Vivian had fixed the previous issue
why it failed sometimes.
After investigation, it turns out one of the conditions required for the stall
warning to go off is:
<equals>
<property>controls/engines/engine/throttle</property>
<value>0</value>
</equals>
It turns out I calibrated my JS using JSCAL, and the throttle axis ran
from -32766 <-> 32767.
Thus, when my throttle was off, FG actually reports it as (similar):
1.598490389232043e -5
so it isn't '0', and therefore klaxon criteria wasn't met.
Hand 'tweaking' my jscal file, I have now got my JS to report -32767 <-> 32767
on all axis, and now FG does show throttle to be 1 <-> 0 at the ends of the
range.
So, how accurate does the throttle need to be? Surely not 1.5e -5?
Nick
