It still appears to be underpowered, tops out at around FL230 @ 315KIAS. I've got some very good performance numbers and an authoritative source, but just a little reticent to mess around with someone else's code and design plus, like most of us, a limited time budget and other priorities... But I will make the changes suggested by Andy and report back on the results. ATM, it is good enough to drive the displays which is my focus for now, but it would be nice to have the capability to shoot a more representative descent, approach, and landing.
