[Flightgear-devel] C172 in newest flightgear
The default C172 in FlightGear seems to be a bit overpowered. It climbs nicely, and at level flight at about 1,000 feet, I settle out at 140 kts and 2800 rpm with full throttle. Does that seem high?

Yes, a lot -- I'd expect somewhere in the low 120s at full throttle down low in a 160hp 172, though note that in real life you never want to let the RPM over 2700. The propeller model might need some tweaking.

On a non-performance note, I'm also experiencing that the flaps animation is gone (on the model in CVS). Based on behavior in flight, flaps are being deployed/retracted, but the flaps don't move on the model. -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear signature.asc Description: PGP signature
