Wow, this is a very nice plane indeed, and those paintjobs are beautiful. It's easy to fly too.
@Levi, you said you used real measuremens/data. However, when I fly at about 7000/8000 feet it already has lost a lot of its power and starts stalling etc, while the ceiling should be somewhere around 25000 feet, according to its specs. Am I doing something wrong, or did you choose a bit different settings?
Hi!
First of all I want to thank you for the "bug" report.
Here you can see what data I used when I created the .xml files using Aeromatic.
.PDF Note that where I left "0 to use estimated value" I didn't found any real info to fill up.
Now the problem you mention above is a bit weird for me. As you can see in the .pdf, The engine is Turboprop. Now, I created the "prop" file for the propellers too, but there's a problem, prop file is somehow not compatible with Turbine Engines, or I simply lack the knowledge on how to make it work together. So later I decided to create Piston Engines in order to use the prop file too, so it worked. But I didn't noticed that the aircraft can't fly above 7000/8000 ft. So I did a research again about this and I figured out that if I want to use Rocket/Turbine/Turboprop engines, I have to use Direct Thrust that creates a pure turbine engine with a thrust table that simulates the turboprop propeller effects.
I tested it and it seems to work nice, and now the aircraft can fly around 25000 ft. I tried to fly above that and it seems to reach even 30000 ft... I have no idea where the top altitude is in FDM files, I think it's located on the tables... I'm not an expert on JSBSim and much less, in fact this is my first time mesing up with this kind of things
Thanks again for the report because it helps to improve the dynamics of this beauty and possible future Aircrafts
I'll upload the update very soon (15-20 min?)
Cheers!
