[Flightgear-devel] How does FlightGear synchronize the simulation time and the real time?

This is very likely the propeller for the C310 causing problems. My computer should be repaired by the middle of this coming week, so I'll once again be able to test things out. :-) I may be able to build a script that reproduces it, though, in which case I may get to it sooner. Jon -
