Just put together a quick picture of what you can click on in this cockpit.
Also added a few notes on what doesn't do anything, so that folks can get a
better idea of where things really are as far as implementation is concerned.

Don't forget that the 5 isn't because of the pump. It's because of the

By my observation, the vacuum gauge should read just a little over 4-inhg
at engine idle (600-700 rpm) and approach 5-inhg at about 2200 rpm.
The previous equation returned a value that is far too low at idle and
ramped up too quickly after that (and had

Note that the previous function was:
suction = pressure * rpm / (rpm + 1.0);
Assuming pressure = 30.00 inhg, 3 inhg of suction required rpm.
4 inhg of suction required 1538 rpm, and 5 inhg of suction required
2000 rpm. At 700 rpm which is a reasonable idle speed, this

sometimes I get the fuel load I want, and sometimes I get empty tanks. Is it
just me? This might be specific to JSBSim.

He just can't quit being a test pilot and now he is test flying the
various models of the UIUC?

inconsistent in defining fuel load: do some aircraft models define it in

The way I see it, the aircraft configuration files should define the
