I couldn't help but notice that the JSB version of the 747 has a lift-ratio which would make a sailplane pilot envious. One can glide about with full flaps, gear out etc with AoA at 30--40° in 80 kias and keep it level. ;) When running it with --debug-level=debug I get some numbers on JSB's idea

[Flightgear-devel] Replay from Log File (v9.8)?

2005-12-04 Thread Jim Alberico
Greetings! Sorry, if OT. You all are very busy with 9.9, and doing a great job. Thanks. Quick questions (using 9.8) on replay: Is there an existing easy way to replay data saved from the ASCII logged data? The two replay methods I see are the binary save file and the FDM binary file I/O.

I've been testing other jsbsim models tonight apart from the 747-100: 737, c150, c182 and they all seem to have extremly low or zero drag. They won't stall. Hmmm. I've not heard any complaints about the other aircraft. The 737 has been extensively tested by someone who knows how they fly.
