As far as I can tell, the gear solver needs to work with approachSpeed and approachWeight: float descentRate = 2.0f*_approachSpeed/19.1f; float energy = 0.5f*_approachWeight*descentRate*descentRate; Since approachWeight depends on fuel too, it's the old question - fix the physics engine and patch all aicraft that use these values, or keep the old values in the engine and don't touch the aircraft. More feedback from aircraft devs would be welcome.
