I'm running v0.9.8 compiled from CVS checkout. OS is

I hear what sounds like an engine "sputter", or better
yet, a crackle. I used to think it was a problem with
hard drive or memory access, until I realized last
night that it occures every 20 seconds (+/- less than
1 second). Also, the Cessna 172 pitches up when I have
back pressure on the joystick, or downward if there is
forward pressure. Plane is virtually impossible to
control when on final at 1500-1700 RPM and 65 knots. Stall horn beeps as well.
I get the crackle sound on other aircraft (737, Piper Cherokee Warrior II), without the pitching up/down).
A particularly annoying problem since the C172 is affected most.
Any ideas? I thought maybe the C172 needs fuel mixture
adjustments??? The regularity of this is uncanny!
I *think* this is the Astro component of FlightGear updating the positions of objects in the sky. The time discontinuity is probably responsible for the pitch changes. (Although it shouldn't have that effect.) What speed CPU do you have?
