New AIAE feature: prop_anim_ratio - shall I?

Post by gsnde »

Do you think adding prop_anim_ratio handling would be a valuable addition to AIAE?
Cheers,
Martin

I vote yes.
It can be a right pain to go and add it manually to dozens of entries. So if you had an option to ensure that every fltsim entry either had it, or not, and that they would all have the same parm, another pain, I think it would be very useful.

It took me a long time to ensure that my Herks all had the same parm.

+1 here too Martin. Most of the newer packages do have the entry, but I find myself sometimes coming across an older C-130 without the entry.

On this note, is there a standard setting for all models or is each different?

Each model is different, Chris. That doesn't to say that you can't use the same on each but the effect will be different on each depending upon how much power that each fde uses in cruise.

I looked at the code and was greeted by two coding bugs that were reported already but which I was unable to reproduce until now. Both are fixed with the new release:
  • --> sometimes the right-click deletion of a [fltsim.x] section does not work
  • --> sometimes when selecting an aircraft folder the [fltsim.x] sections are not enumerated
So there are no more uncorrected bugs to the best of my knowledge.
Cheers,
Martin

I have release V 2.1.31 because I had another report of that runtime error which is fixed with this version. Please use the internal updater to get it. It does not yet contain the planned prop_anim_ratio feature, which will come next (soon).
Cheers,
Martin
