with a list of some 27 JSBSim piston engines that still seem to be using
either the old aeromatic default values for idle manifold pressure (minmp)

Thanks Eric,
The JSBSim piston engine model is missing something, probably Mach effect
through the intake valve, so models

Looking at the code (I think) I can see you are trying calculate the
pressure losses in the injector/throttle valve, airbox and inlet tubes.
Using throttle position and engine speed (was expecting cylinder

So it is kind of modelled like an air pump. Interesting method.

Piston engines are basically air pumps.
We currently calculate power by dividing the mass fuel flow by the
user-entered bsfc multiply by correction factors for mixture

I'd be grateful for an update of the Dragonfly and the ogeL. The
Dragonfly's configuration was a wild guess, and only very vaguely based
on real numbers. ogeL's engine is by definition just fantasy ;-)
Thanks,
