 Can somebody help here?
 
 I am trying to see the properties tree using telnet to localhost 5500.  
I don't see anything in the (telnet or fg) console window. Where is the 
output displayed?  
 
 The fgfsrc default browser seems to be Netscape but I am using KExplorer 
- how to change the file entry if required?
 
 I want to work on putting real dials in the TSR2 instead of the digital 
 readouts - am I re-inventing the wheel?

I don't have any plans to do a 'proper' panel for the TSR-2 so please feel 
free to go ahead and do one.

I used 'digital' instruments to cut down on the texture space requirements 
and because I wanted to monitor the numbers while 'tuning' the fdm.

Also, I simply didn't know what a lot of the instruments did, how they 
worked or what they displayed, which would have made making one a rather 
lengthy process.

 
 Finally, using the rate of climb setting in the autopilot slams the 
elevators right back and they will not reset.  Also, the heading setting 
doesn't work. Is this a Nasal problem (guess).
 
 Tks, R

That's a bit curious - it's set-up so that it should take-off on AP and 
works ok here.  From take-off, it should manage to climb to 20,000ft w/o 
reheat but then you'll have to build up a bit speed before trying to 
climb higher.

I have seen situations where the elevator appears to get locked, usually 
in the full-up (climb) position, even though it may be well over the 
target alt and should be commanding a descent.  I've got to say that it 
takes a fair bit of 'abuse' to get it in this state - for example, 
forcing a vertical climb until stall using the joystick while either 
alt-hold or terrain-follow is operating.  Toggling alt-hold usually 
clears this but screws up the terrain-follow separation.
