The effects I'm anticipating are: A change in idle level. I expect <minthrottle>0.2</minthrottle> will work the best, as this is the aeromatic default I hope most engines will work just fine. A possible decrease in max power for engines specifying a <BSFC> tag with a max manifold pressure less than 29.9. The new carburetor code takes <maxmp> into account, whereas the old code did not. Right now you may specify a maxmp greater than 29.9 to have the model calculate a bsfc setting for boosted engines, but the old "fake boost" mode is disabled. So engines will need a boost section to achieve the higher manifold pressure. A simple onespeed supercharger example is shown below: <numboostspeeds> 1 </numboostspeeds> <ratedboost1> 8.15</ratedboost1> <!-- 46.5 inHg --> <ratedpower1> 1900 </ratedpower1> <!-- Horsepower --> <ratedrpm1> 2600 </ratedrpm1> <ratedaltitude1> 0 </ratedaltitude1> To calculate the ratedboost number: Take your max boosted manifold pressure minus 29.9 46.5 inHg - 29.9 inHg = 16.6 inHg Multiply the result by 0.491 16.6 inHg * 0.491 = 8.15 psi Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
