I am using 0.8.0.

For C172, the range of the RPM --on the ground at KSFO, when I move the
throttle to its extremes-- is 900-2200, I tried with both my old
joystick and keyboard, there are minor differences but the general range
is the same.

What is the definition of on 75% power? 75% of the max RPM (in my case
on the ground at KSFO this would be 1650)? Or is it the 3/4 of the way
on throttle control (which is kind of hard to see/know)?

Given that my RPM can only go as high as 2200, is there something wrong
with 0.8.0 throttle control range, or is it that the rarer air in higher
altitutes will allow faster RPM? I guess I will experiment with this
tonight...

Thanks
