I wrote that tutorial just after finishing my initial flight training in 2002, and it's based on the standard pitch+power=performance model of teaching.

It still needs its aerodynamic coefficients tuned, too. It seems rather pitchy. Hi Ron, Thanks for diving in and taking a look at this! I mentioned this aircraft over on the DIYdrones thread, so hopefully we'll get a few people trying it out.

[Flightgear-devel] Issue with default starting scenario
I temporarily moved my .fgfsrc file and .fgfs/ directory to see what a new user sees on first startup, and I think what's there is not the best idea (unless there's still some local configuration that I'm missing): 1. it's normal to have a plane sitting on the runway threshold with the engine idling 2. it's normal to have a plane sitting in a parking spot on the apron with the engine off 3. it's *not* normal to have a plane sitting on the runway threshold with the engine off Except in the case of an accident or mechanical failure, you would *never* be sitting on the threshold with your engine off, especially at a big airport like KSFO (unless you wanted to give your plane and yourself a 747-sized colon exam). I think that option #1 is ideal for new users, but option #2 would be OK if we want to distinguish ourselves from MSFS by making things more difficult. So, in brief, we have to make a choice: either move the default starting position off the runway, or (preferably) start on the runway threshold with the C-172 engine already idling.

[Flightgear-devel] Bug: landmass effects cause system crash in today's CVS FlightGear
When I enable landmass effects in a FlightGear binary built from today's CVS (and using today's base package), my entire computer freezes and I can reboot only by cutting power. Urban effects still work, however. With a binary built from the March 13 CVS, I can enable landmass effects -- still using today's base package -- with no bad effects.
