Funny you guys should be talking about turboprop models. I have been playing around today trying to get a allison t56 working using jsbsim's aeromatic.But for what ever reason the RPM just seems to keep climbing from the time you start even though I had the max prop rpm set at 1450.The prop did

If you're connecting a prop to a turbine, that won't work. The present turbine model can't be used as a turboprop. As a result, the best way to model a turboprop is to use a turbine with a direct thruster, and adjust the thrust table to simulate a propeller (see the OV-10). The issue is

Presently, the turbine model ignores PowerRequired and returns pounds-force. The Piston and Electric models use PowerRequired and return horsepower. I think this is fixable - are you working on it? If not, I might take a quick try at it. Sure. I was going to first implement the
