Hi everybody, thanks to Martin, the Zivko Edge 540 is now in CVS. It has a JPInstruments EDM700 engine data monitor so you can handle your 35k$ engine with some care and spare some gallons of fuel to save the planet. It is not a complete implementation (yet), but you can play with the automatic and manual parameter scan and the lean-find function is also working.
The aircraft is made for (and with) the plib version of FlightGear but I will try to get the a OSG version up to implement the smoke system with particles. While working on the EDM700, I found out that the calculation of EGT is wrong in YASim and JSBSim. While the YASim engines don't warm up the burned air at all (egt equals ambient air temperature), the JSBSim egt raises to some 600 or 700 degF where it should be more than 1000 degF. So EGT indication is faked by scaling the delivered value a little bit. What's next? - smoke system - create a livery for those who don't like green aircraft - finish the rbar.nas and create the latest race tracks of the rbar - call out for a multiplayer AirRace, hopefully during LinuxTag at the end of may Enjoy - Torsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
