That's not even approximately the correct ceiling for the 182. > No chance to reach 100,000ft with a normal procecure. The chance of reaching 100,000 ft is not the only issue. Things pilots care about include: -- RPM as a function of altitude, prop control, throttle, etc. -- MAP as a function of .. .. -- Rate of climb as a function of .. .. -- Level-flight speed as a function of .. .. -- Mixture requirements as a function of .. .. -- EGT as a function of mixture and .. .. -- fuel-consumption rates as a function of .. .. > IMHO the FGPiston model is ok and you should close the bug report. Evidently "ok" means different things to different people. *) Some FG users don't care much about the aforementioned items or about handling or flight dynamics in general. Some of them may actually prefer a model that doesn't consume any fuel. *) Some of them do care. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
