Thanks for that, it's got some glitches, so I won't be realeasing in, but if you'd like a copy, just give me your e-mail and I'll gladly send it.

Kind regards

John

With the "modified" flight model that I have that was modified by someone over at Sim Outhouse (see the link in my last post) you were able to take off with #3 only and leave #1 and #2 at idle. With Rob's gauge, you need all 3 engines run up to be able to take off and then all 3 engines to attain the correct cruising speeds. If you idle the #3 engine on the model with Rob's gauge, you get <190 knots instead of the more correct 240-250 knots. Nothing against Rob's gauge though. I just like the ability to operate somewhat realistically with the earlier mod, even if I can't hover as well.
Hi Chris, I see what you're driving at, but are you sure the engines 1 and 2 would be at idle for take off, given the rotor was powered by air from both engines then ignited with a fuel mix at the tip ?
