pause mode is on, it spins more slowly but still does not stop.
This was fixed in JSBSim a week or so ago -- unless something else has
undone the change, try updating to the newest FlightGear CVS. The
On the C172s I've used, the prop starts about as fast as a car engine,
i.e. in well under a second. It would be hard to get a tach reading,
but I'll try to remember.
Would you get the same cranking speed if you cranked the engine with the magnetos off?
It would certainly stop the engine
I agree that this was how it was originally coded, but something has
changed in the last week or so and the propellor definitely spins an
order of magnitude slower than reported rpm.
Did someone get rps and rpm mixed up?? ;-)

now.

I've seen this problem before (or something very similar) and I'm not
sure what to make of it, and I'm not sure how to reproduce it, other

Starting out my flight everything worked great, but I've been airborn

A fair amount has changed in cvs today. If you are tracking cvs, make
sure you update both your FlightGear cvs tree and your base package
cvs tree ... otherwise you will have problems.
The view manager code is really shaping up, David made some nice
