[Re-post -- the first one of 15 Feb doesn't seem to have made it.]
Hi,
here are a couple bugs that make flying FlightGear rather difficult
but must be rather easy to fix:
- some time ago (a week or two), the 2D panel ASI stopped working on
most aircraft I use (Seahawk, TSR.2, B52). The same applies to some
of the other instruments (AoA, turn ind.)
- the main nav display is clamped incorrectly. That is, the yellow
indicators rotate nicely with the compass rose when heading is
between 0 and 180 but behave like the compass is at 0 or 180 when
you leave that range. Rather useless as most common approaches are
westerly, and the localizer would be so much easier to use were the
indicator pointing in the right direction...
Also, has anyone actually managed to fly a 747 from Europe to the US
or the other way round? I just tried that, and first of all, I found
it hard to get to a decent altitude (the autopilot keeps stalling it)
at a decent speed -- or is 300kt IAS at 30000ft normal for a 747? This
is at 90% throttle, I don't think it would go higher than that in
real-life flight. Also, my 190000lbs of fuel ran out at way less than
halfway through the flight (I was more than 5 hours from the
destination) -- am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem with
the engine/fuel model?
Finally, what's happening with the full-screen panel IFR C172 models?
They both seem to be broken at the moment.
Just my usual two pence, keep up the good work!

P.S.: Does EGHC (Land's End) really have grass runways? I love the
cows in the area though -- they actually ARE there in reality...
P.S.2.: I'm looking forward to seeing David Culp's new aircraft in CVS
some day...
