Yes, it was considered very "space-age" when it was first announced to the public in late 1945. It turned obsolete as soon as the German advances in high speed aerodynamics became known outside of Germany. > 3. the instrument lightning - new feature?

I must admit I've only tried about half of the aircraft in CVS, so I can't say for sure. > (Ok, FG does not complain if I take the gear out at 300 knts and set > flaps at high speeds. But it is not the way I want to treat the a/c) Right now there are no consequences for exceeding limits, but there has been talk of adding this to the next version of JSBSim. The plan is to allow different actions to be specified by the user/builder for each type of exceedance. For instance, you will be able to configure a gear speed limit monitor that will print a message, "Hey Dummy! The gear speed limit is 250 knots! You just lost your gear doors.", if you exceed that limit. You could also define other types of consequences, like a crash signal, or a change in the FDM behavior. Until then we are monitoring ourselves :) The hard part will be in finding out what the limits are, especially for old aircraft that aren't flying any more. Thanks for the test run and feedback.
