 It's the new nasalised electrical system. The turn indicator is hardcoded to 
 expect 60 ampere as input. The new system outputs 28 volts instead (I told 
 Curt that it made more sense to output volts rather than amperes). So the 
 result is that the gyro is not spinning fast enough.
 
 I tried the radiostack just now, and it seemed to work fine.
 


 Well, what must be done to solve that ?

[Flightgear-devel] Turn Coordinator is out == c172r and others

2005-06-25 Thread Gerard Robin
Beware instrument failure !
C172r  and others aircraft have a turn coordinator out of order  :=(
seems to be property:
/instrumentation/turn-indicator/indicated-turn-rate

I noticed that. I wonder when that happened?
