Yup - Ron Jenson is on the case - we should be able to push an updated version soon. > * English Electric Lightning: I believe the plane should be able to reach > Mach 2 around 36.000 ft in level flight - even in a descending pattern, I > was never able to reach above Mach 1.7 - is there a problem with the FDM? > In addition, the ambient/diffuse setting of the instruments on the main > panel appears a bit odd - see my pics in the forum > > http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11930&start=15 The author is inactive at the moment.

It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
