i hate to bring this up again but i still think the speedbrakes don't work as they should, instead generating quite a lot of lift. i've tested this on final approach at about 160-170 knots, speedbrakes on; i can keep the plane level. retract the speedbrakes, the plane starts descending really fast (the nose position doesn't change). open the speed brakes, the plane goes climbing. again this is with the engine at idle and at very slow speeds. anyway, keep up the great work. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
