Thanks Lee thats all I need for a realistic AI Scenario... I don't think anyone will complain if the sim lands at 45-50 knots ... I suspect the Landing/stall figure is in fact *stall in landing configuration* (ie flaps) this seems to be a very popular figure to provide in performance data. Thanks again :-D ene _________________________________________________________________ Read the latest Hollywood gossip @ http://xtramsn.co.nz/entertainment _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
