I did some reading last night and it's probably the most accurately modelled piece of equipment in FG - down to fault handling and so on. But the configuration interface is big - there's several pages of tabular data and many properties that are used. Most of them do seem to be correct by default, but equally there's quite a few which are probably not set in many aircraft. There seems to be a list of aircraft 'types' (specified by an integer code), and when one is picked, it defines a whole bunch of other parameters about climb rate, maximum bank angle, minimum stopping distance, and so on. I'll start putting notes into a wiki page, I guess. > My nasal 'experiment' is meant to > appease those who want it working , (and to see if I can do it ), > but it > wont be anywhere near as complex as the MK-VIII. Yes, of course.
