Re: [Flightgear-devel] Manifold pressure
Frederic Bouvier writes: I am wondering why the manifold pressure indicator of the c172 panel is changing while moving the throttle knob and the engine is **off** ( 0 RPM ). When I do my checklist in my plane, engine off, I verify that this pressure is the same as QFE, and during flying, the value is decreasing, not increasing. Erm, that would be a bug. I'll look into it. Cheers - Dave -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Would that be better than what is there, now? Thats what should be in there now, and is in LaRCsim (well - without the lag anyway). I've obviously thought it went into JSBSim but never actually put it in there.

The engine model is probably just sending out a scaled version of the throttle position -- we're still working on powerplant output variables.
