After I completed the pa24-electrical.nas, I noticed the turn indicator was always indicating a turn to the left, even sitting still on the ground. When I looked at the property /instrumentation/turn-indicator/indicated-turn-rate was sure enough indicating about -0.3 while the spin was about 0.5. I looked at the huricane (also has a 12 volt electrical system) and it showed a similar problem. So I looked at turn_indicator.cxx (the source) and it appears it assumes a 24 volt electrical system (it normalizes the power by dividing py 24.0). This file was written by David Megginson in 2003. David, would it be possible to have this routine get the normalization voltage from the electrical system used by the model? I don't see any such value in the property tree (an ideal_volts such as is defined by the nasal electrical system).

This impacts other AC such as the huricane that do not have a 24 volt electrical system.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Perry
