Hi barta,
I finally got the chance to look over your work as on github. It looks really good, also solidly done as far as I can tell for now.
Are you aware of what the GNU General Public License (GPL) is, what it means and what its requirements are?
Some small remarks only
:
* in case you haven't found this yet, you can access the manuals from Cirrus Design's website at
https://cirrusaircraft.com/technical-pu ... odel=sr22t (POH) and
https://cirrusaircraft.com/technical-pu ... odel=sr22t (AMM), these are very helpful in implementing features realistically and contain very detailed information
* as noted before, the SR22T has a castoring nosewheel (POH p.7-24). To allow for the wheel to castor, max_steer needs to be set to 360.0 (see
http://wiki.flightgear.org/JSBSim_Groun ... Properties ). Note that the POH states that while the wheel castors, it is limited to +-85 degrees. For such a "partially-castoring" wheel, the recent discussion on the J3 Cub's thread might be interesting to you. (
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28303&start=1110#p367285 and onwards). Either way setting max_steer to 180 is wrong because it implies steering which is not existent in the real aircraft
* I welcome a more realistic engine simulation for the SR22T (
https://github.com/bartacruz/SR22T/comm ... d16c364aca), but a minor thing: As
http://wiki.flightgear.org/JSBSim_Engin ... efinitions defines max_mp as
http://wiki.flightgear.org/JSBSim_Engines#Parameter_definitions wrote:this value is the nomial maximum manifold pressure at sea-level without boost. Along with maxrpm it determines the resistance of the aircraft's intake system. See air-intake-impedance-factor
I think that max_mp should not take boost into account (it should be set as if there is no turbo)
Also, ratesboost[1,2,3] is the rated boost pressure in psi, which I think 3 isn't the correct value for
Despite these small things, please keep the great work up! I neglected the SR a bit in the past and it's cool to have someone working on it again!
