What [Reference_Speeds] section actually does?

Featured Replies

Hi all,In aircraft.cfg we have a section called [ Reference_Speeds ].An example:[ Reference Speeds ]flaps_up_stall_speed=148.000000full_flaps_stall_speed=122.000000cruise_speed=552.421072max_indicated_speed=350.000000max_mach=0.821240My question is: If I modify these values like this:full_flaps_stall_speed=102.000000Can I really fly the aircraft with full flaps at about 110 Kts? (the original value was 122 Kts). I mean... are the values in this section only for informative purposes, or they really change the stall speeds for an aircraft?Thank you in advance :-)Best regards,

From the SDK: "The values given in this section are also included mainly for use in FSEDIT. However, you may modify these values by hand, but you are unlikely to see any affects on the aircraft behavior without running FSEDIT."I believe AI planes use them for cruise speed, etc. - dcc

Thank you very much for the info.Best regards,

I'll bet most of those are used for setting the speed arcs on the airspeed indicator.........TonyDigital-Flight
