Hunter/Seahawk: Altimeter, IAS, Mach, rate-of-climb, and turn-and-slip Spitfire: All of the above plus clock, attitude, and heading. > > I just tried the Hunter, and I noticed that some of the instrumentation > > properties where not as expected.

There is no vacuum system on these aircraft.

However, when I built them originally the attitude-indicator pitch property wasn't working correctly, so I had to use orientation - which should still work. I'm sorry that my original posting was incomplete: I only noticed the problem late last night. You got the polite version :-) Regards, Vivian _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
