As far as I know, rotation speed with no flaps and a service payload is about 105/110 kts. I could lift it at that speed some weeks ago, but some changes in the yasim code and/or in the b1900d.xml file caused a regression. -- Jean-Yves Lefort [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lefort.be.eu.org/ pgpiM3fmHe8iD.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

I could lift it at that speed some weeks ago, but some changes in the yasim code and/or in the b1900d.xml file caused a regression. Looking back through CVS, I think the big change was that the fuel load got doubled. If you cut the fuel down to about 2000 lbs total I think the aircraft will return. I made a small change to the config file so the aircraft lift/drag solution is computed at 80% fuel capacity rather than 20% fuel capacity ... this makes a huge difference in bringing the numbers back closer to what I'd expect. This is a WAG though ... we need to find a POH and start double checking stall speed and climb performance numbers to make sure we are in the right ball park here. I hate to guess too much.

I always assume that if it works on my computer it must work on everyone else's:) BTW, my screenshot overhead the Tempelhof building was done on Win32, the logo looks correct on XOrg with the OpenSource ATI r200 driver without shadows. I just don't own a computer (I don't own any PeeCee at all ) that is powerful to display shadows, so I have to eomploy some Windows machine if I want to profit from all those nice features.
