FAQ's 5.1 is not a bug, it's a feature :-) Current Lin
I'm under the impression that an aircraft should be able to glide
sensibly up to the stall and then you may encounter problems depending
on the type of the wing, where the stall will occur on the wing and
whether it will occur on both wings together.
A prop driven a/c may give additional benefits
Hello together,
I'd like to comment on my experiences with different flight models -
especially JSBSim and YASim. I'm using the C310 for the comparison.
Take off with the default c310u3a-jsbsim, accelerate to somewhat over 120
knots and pull the elevator quick and firmly. Only a few seconds later

Off topic to your comment, but related to JSBSim's c310: Since
the back seat passengers and baggage was added,

I've seen one in Chambley and I have to admit that the C310 has a quite well
shaped nose.

I experimented a little further.
If I give the plane a stall by gradually reducing power and trying to
keep my vsi 0, then release the stick and wait for some semblance of
order to return. I notice that the stall develops on one wing and then
eventually the plane will return to level, but it does
I've only tried it with the dc3

Once every few years Maine becomes a happenin' place a couple days or so. See

I'm not using T38 panel at all. It's just a model for me to look at and
sometiems plug in some files to see if the file works. I am creating the ASW20
panel with my own drawing and stuff. I'm using openGL to draw some of the
instruments. Sadly, I'm having a little bit of trouble writing the font

The YAsim aircraft seem to have something slightly strange with the
prop windmiling when then engine is not running. It's almost as if as
you glide, you are winding up a big rubber band or something as the
props windmill. Then eventually the props begin to generate so much
negative thrust (drag)

From the description of the a/c oscillating, I'd guess you're using auto-pilot
heading hold/wing-leveller. Try it without and you shouldn't get any
oscillation. You can also get pitch oscillation or porpoising in some a/c at
low speeds with AP alt hold too - that can be tamed by increasing the

No I'm not using the Autopilot.
I just don't think that the behaviour after the stall (when the plane
begins to recover) is that realistic - this is when it oscillates

If you're compiling using Cygwin or MinGW, like I am,
I just copy the compiled libraries to /usr/lib. It's
a lazy workaround. But, I believe that some people say
you can add "-L/usr/local/lib" to your configure line
to make it work. Good Luck.

Hmm... can't say I ever encountered that while I was testing it. How much is
the speed varying through the cycle of the oscillation?
I can't say that I know what the stall characteristics of a B-52 are - I
didn't come across any descriptions while I was researching it.
