David,
Running all defaults from yesterday full checkout of base and FlightGear,
with cvs update at 08:30 today, hence JSBSim. Only change after starting
was switching from KSFO to KABE for better lighting, forgot to offset
time. Clocked prop at 37 rpm, constant for at least 2 minutes sitting on
runway, engine off as initial state.
One even smaller nit noted while timing. Used offset to view from above
and get prob more visible against runway stripe. The blades are twisted
in the same plane, so at slow rotation one shows edge on, while the
other has a broader aspect. Very realistic otherwise.
