But right now, YASim uses the given cruise altitude. And when the "cruise" section is missing, YASim doesn't initialize any cruise settings - including the cruise temperature "_cruiseT". And since its (stupid) default is 0 (Kelvin) this triggers the exception (Airplane::solveHelicopter calls Atmosphere::calcStdDensity(_cruiseP, _cruiseT)) ) cheers, Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: WikiLeaks The End of the Free Internet http://p.sf.net/sfu/therealnews-com _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
