An (incomplete) list of issues I have observed in flying various aircraft recently - maybe some of them can be fixed by maintainers before the release:
* Vostok-1 is currenty a no-show - it crashes before doing anything, the log seems to point to a property as the cause. I guess it *may* be a JSBSim issue (?). Being one of the few people who has actually flown the beast into orbit, I think it's a model well worth maintaining (especially as I am now able to create a bit better environment up at 120 km altitude using the skydome shader). In the forum vitos (the original creator) has clearly announced his intention not to maintain the model any further since we haven't delivered a new rendering engine, so it's looking for a new maintainer. Maybe some JSBSim person can have a look? * CRJ700: The altimeter on the main glass instrument is currently unreadable or displays the wrong altitude - the band hundreds runs correctly, but the numerals before can't be deciphered. Probably a simple graphics issue, the AP holds correct altitude. * dc-3: Very nice cockpit work - the manual needs an update though, starting the engine seems to require at least one more step than advertized (the selection of a fuel tank). Even then for some reason I got only the left engine on - repeating symmetrically what I did never started the right engine until I used the autostart function. * dhc6: Nice to see more details in the cockpit. Just, how the hell do I switch all the warning signs off? After starting the engines, the whole warning panel lit up (which I know from some other aircraft as a test mode), but the lights never went out. Plane was flying fine though. * pa24-250-CIIB: I still suspect that there's something not working correctly with the engine at high altitude. In 14.000 ft with mixture full rich, I should be choking the engine, but I don't seem to, it just runs fine and EGT drops to an abysmally low value. * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
