Hi Ben.
The climb performance is now correct as per real life. I checked the C172 with the 180hp, it has a different prop thruster file, which is very very overpowered in my opinion -- maybe an upgrade was available to such a thing in real life, but I doubt it's stock.
Regardless, the Warrior's engine has custom system to prevent the JSBsim "overspinning" which happens for some reason -- and gives more power than the real...
So now it should be good. Don't know if it will pass your test with the hill, but it matches all the data I've recorded in real life (speed, alt, vert speed, pitch angle, and RPM)
I also added the plate in the cockpit with the aircraft number on it, and it changes based on the livery selected.
I also simulated the "dead-band" thing that happens at the upper end of throttle lever position, where the change in power is only very slight. Don't know why this is, but all 3 Warrior's I've flown in real life (161 models too, with both 160hp and 180hp engines) have this "dead-band".
Lego also added ALS lights, including functioning landing lights.
