[Flightgear-devel] Backing out Andy's p51d changes

2005-05-24 Thread Jim Wilson
Hi Andy, On the p51d fdm configuration, it looks like the substantial change was actually increasing the turbo multiplier from 2.0 to 5.5, and not reducing the cruise speed as stated in the CVS log of March 23. The cruise speed change does have an effect, but it is fairly small. The problem
