And I realised the problem with the 50 second standard turns I've heard about and was noticing myself are because the turn co-ordinator is off. I figured out where to put the attitude indicator for a good 180 in 60 seconds standard turn and that lead me to exactly what's wrong. The "little airplane" image is actually slightly too high. I have a picture of one in my book, and the plane should line up with the side bars when level, not be just slightly above it.
Anyways, if you move it down by 2 in the y-transform, everything lines up properly. Just tested it and got 180 degrees in 60 seconds almost exactly with the turn indicator in the right place. Here's a patch for the very simple fix:

I also found a bug in the gear stuff in limits.nas, which I'll post in the next day or so once I get time to make sure it's all ok.
Back to practicing my turns, WITH working co-ordinator. You know, you've got to love having the sources. If something doesn't work, I can just fix it. :)
Later,
Mike.
