I've been having a look at the yasim config files. There are some odd entries. I've tried to do a little fixing up, but with no real success. I think you need to go to the new propeller definitions. I have a nagging memory that the Wright Cyclone R-3500 was fitted with reduction gearing between the crankshaft and propeller, although I can't find any reference to it right now. Do you have any details of the ratio? It's needed to migrate to the new Yasim propeller definition. You could use the R-2600 ratio, I suppose: Propeller Reduction Gear Ration (crankshaft to propeller): 16:9 That comes from here: http://wrightpattjobs.wpafb.af.mil/museum/engines/eng42a.htm V. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
