Oh, it takes very long. More than an hour. That's why I'm not keen to try it without AP. I prefer to let the AP do that on another desktop, only occasionally watching the numbers. BTW: the command line from KSNS wasn't necessary. I could start at KSFO/28R, take off, set altitude-hold to 500,000 ft and some heading, and then wait. It climbs slowly but steadily. Climb rate was 1012 (ft/min? ... read from the vspeed display), and IAS ~190 kts. (The funny Mach number of 1.01 was apparently caused by thin air.) But again, without /environment/params/control-fdm-atmosphere the numbers looked much saner. m. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
