There is an entry in SenecaII-jsbsim.xml controlling pitch due to flaps. I changed the signs and it pitches up, but way too much. Yep - the flap behaviour is crap - I'm working on an improved FDM config. Have to get deeper in my old aerodynamics books for that... So the TAS dial is manually operated then? Thats how it works in reality. You look on your outside air temperature indicator (will be there in the next version) and your altimeter, place your pressure altitude above the oat on the white TAS-dial and the needle points to your TAS. The latest version on my web site already has a working TAS-dial. Greetings, Torsten --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
