Re: [Flightgear-devel] Airbus A320
Actually, the better solution would be for us to fix it. Can you remind me when this bug was reported (if you recall)? I'll try to have a look at it in the very near future. It looks like two bugs, which were discussed a month or two ago, although I don't know if they were reported via an official channel, partly because I'm insecure enough in my coding ability to believe the problem is probably at my end in every case. This first problem is in defining a fuel load in a JSBSim model. I see several ways: In the aircraft configuration file: AC_TANK TYPE=FUEL NUMBER=0 !-- left -- XLOC 520.0 YLOC -80.0 ZLOC -18.0 RADIUS 1.0 CAPACITY 10200.0 CONTENTS 0.0 /AC_TANK In the aircraft -set file: sim descriptionBoeing 737/description flight-modeljsb/flight-model aero737/aero fuel-fraction0.5/fuel-fraction In the aircraft -set file again: consumables fuel tank n=0 level-gal_us archive=y117/level-gal_us /tank tank n=1 level-gal_us archive=y117/level-gal_us /tank tank n=2 level-gal_us archive=y220/level-gal_us /tank /fuel /consumables And in the command line: --prop:/consumables/fuel/tank[0]/level-gal_us=290.0 --prop:/consumables/fuel/tank[1]/level-gal_us=290.0 Somehow, using combinations of the above methods, I've managed to get airplanes running with a fuel load that is randomly empty. And a couple times I've managed to get a fuel load approaching infinity. Users normally only notice when the FGSimTurbine reacts badly to a zero-fuel condition, which is caused by the FGEngine::Starved flag fluctuating between true and false, which I believe is a separate bug.

I am using Blender and GIMP, and I have to say that so far, is has been quite easy. If someone wants to contribute a flight model, go ahead. All necessary data for a YASim A320 can be found here: http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-a/table-1/table.htm http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-b/table-1/default.htm (The A320 uses the V2500-A1 or V2522-A4 engines) While we're at it, Fokker and Embraer have been mentioned here before: http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-a/table-8/table.htm http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-b/table-4/default.htm Fokker 28: RR183-555 Fokker 100: Tay-651 http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-b/table-5/default.htm Embraer 145: Allison-AE3007 Or the full list of aircraft and engines: http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-a/default.htm http://www.bh.com/companions/034074152X/appendices/data-b/default.htm I think a nice project would be a stand-alone utility which asks for these values and creates a YASim (or if possible a JSBSim) configuration file.
