I think you just uncovered your new name Note that 'constant-speed' is not mentioned in the original post """ Thanks for reminding me -- the propeller-pitch property is misnamed, and we should try to think of something more descriptive (it directly controls propeller speed, not pitch). """ FWIW - I still maintain that for a variable pitch prop propeller speed and pitch are the ~same~ Perhaps this is easier to think of as 'screw distance' or 'Work' Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
