Of course, you shouldn't push the stick all the way forward like that during normal flight, but the program still shouldn't crash I wonder if this still happens with the engine turned off.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [BUG] JSBSim: sudden plane crashes
This is very likely the propeller for the C310 causing problems. My computer should be repaired by the middle of this coming week, so I'll once again be able to test things out. :-) I may be able to build a script that reproduces it, though, in which case I may get to it sooner.

Is this still present with the newer JSBSim code/files? Strange. It's hard to picture why, when everything has been at equilibrium for a while, why the propeller should suddenly spin out of control.

Jon I think it's usually after some sort of event...haven't seen this in normal flight myself. When seeing it mostly I just wrote it off to the model being unusually difficult to get out of a stall or spin, but pushing the nose down suddenly does seem to break it here as well. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
