* The model seems never to consume any fuel. A dump of the property list indicates that engines/engine/fuel-flow-gph takes on reasonable values and tracks the throttle setting, while engines/engine/fuel-flow_pph remained stuck at zero. This is a particularly bad disconnect, since apparently the latter is what gets integrated to calculate engines/engine/fuel-consumed-lbs. | * The model seems never to consume any fuel.

I'm told that the hi-res instruments implement flags, but the lo-res ones don't, and the c182 model is using the lo-res versions. | ||
* While sitting on the runway, whenever the brakes are applied the aircraft makes faint scratching noises, and bobbles a little bit in pitch ... even if the engine is off! With the engine off, I can't imagine why applying the brakes would cause bobbling. This applies equally to the parking brakes, plain old service brakes, and either (or both) toe brakes. This is observed in the C172r and C182 models and perhaps others (but not the PA24-250). | * While sitting on the runway, whenever the brakes are applied the aircraft makes faint scratching noises, and bobbles a little bit in pitch ... even if the engine is off!

* | * Note that on a real C182, on the tachometer, the green range tops out at 2400, and there is also a red radial line at 2400. In the model, the markings are wrong. The red radial line is absent, and the green goes all the way up to 2500. (The model's propeller governor is properly set, limiting the revs to 2400.) | ||
