Yep - the flap behaviour is crap - I'm working on an improved FDM config. Have to get deeper in my old aerodynamics books for that... > > So the TAS dial is manually operated then? Thats how it works in reality. You look on your outside air temperature indicator (will be there in the next version) and your altimeter, place your pressure altitude above the oat on the white TAS-dial and the needle points to your TAS. The latest version on my web site already has a working TAS-dial. Greetings, Torsten --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Yes, there is an object in the airspeed indicator model and the texture is complete. I will give it a blister and a hotspot to turn it. Should be ready soon.

[Flightgear-devel] A SenecaII for FlightGear: first version available
Hi all, it's been a while, since I announced the model for a Seneca. It is a *LOT* more work, than I expected it to be so it took a lot longer than I thought. But I think I can show you what I have so far: http://www.t3r.de/fg/seneca/ The site gives you a something to look at and a downloadable version. This should be considered a before-pre-alpha-preview release with lots of work-in-progress and under-construction items. But there is also a lot to see already. If anybody wants to give it a try, I whould be happy to get some comments. Greetings, Torsten --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
