I've now checking into CVS fixes for the c172p issues below. I've also modified the prop to give more realistic climb and cruise performance. Unfortunate at full throttle and below-ISA temperatures, you can still over-rev the engine in cruise to 2900rpm + and over 120kts. Feedback is welcome as always. If you had time to add an updated c172p bug list to the wiki (http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Cessna_C172), that would be very helpful from my perspective. -Stuart > > 5 :: duplicate livery > This is on my todo list.
