Yeah, that's a bug. Power is power. If the prop wants to sync X horsepower at Y RPM, then the engine ought to be defined as producing the same X hp at Y/gear-ratio RPM. Let me take a look. > It seems that is what you have to do to get a solution that works. > In any case YASim should at least do some sanity checking here to > avoid the endless loop thing. Indeed. The problem is that simply exiting the loop in stabilizeThrust() isn't enough to tell you what the problem is.
