[Flightgear-devel] Problems with YASim turbine engines

2005-04-13 Thread Lee Elliott
Hello all, This is probably one for Andy R. I've got two flight models in development that use the YASim turbine engine and although they both solve and fly reasonably (bearing in mind that they are both pre-alpha and I've done less than 15 minutes on each) the fuel flow figures are of the
