Hi,
here are a couple bugs that make flying FlightGear rather difficult
must be rather easy to fix:
- some time ago (a week or two), the 2D panel ASI stopped working on
most aircraft I use (Seahawk, TSR.2, B52). The same applies to some
of the other instruments (AoA, turn ind.)

initially to somewhere around FL290-FL350. After a couple of hours of
burning fuel, they would probably request somewhere from FL350-FL410.
Reported cruise speed of anywhere from M.82 - M.86.
Of course it's all highly variable d

You don't. What I said was that 300kt IAS is cruise speed at 3

There's a tunable TSFC number that you can play with. The engine

Hmmm. I've just taken that bird for a spin, I flew from EDDF to EDDM

Now is it possible that the tar.gz is broken? :-(
Sure is! sorry about that let me try again. Should work now!

Seems like my web site is not working with mozilla for downloads?
But when I used wget, prozilla, kget, or even downloaded it from with-in
Konqueror it worked fine?

Yea, it was just a couple of lines missing, that were included for the
compass card but not the hsi. Then when I put them in it messed up the
to-from flag, so I just copied that stuff from the other nav
instruments and made some adjustments and it worked.
I use it with all the aircraft that h

Looks great, Paul! Now is it possible that the tar.gz is broken? :-(
