Ta for the info. I found that the auto-throttle holds the set speed very well, even between different a/c types and it was very easy to match speeds between them. Using multiplay, with a B-52 and a YF-23 both set to the same ap speed, there was hardly any drift between them and it got me thinking about doing a KC-10 for playing at in flight re-fuelling:) (The jitter would have to be fixed first though - I wonder if a moving average over several samples would smooth it out a bit? I might have a look at that but I suspect it could be beyond me) The ap throttle even worked well when both were terrain following over fairly lumpy ground, and I've not looked at changing the default values for the gain and integral yet. As I said, approaching another a/c and then matching speeds, assuming I knew the other a/c speed, is much easier - you can set the target speed in the ap settings of the a/c you're flying and then just punch it in once you've done your intercept and got into position on manual throttle. Good stuff:) LeeE _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
