Gray,

Well I dug the Mallard out (from the ('back up') My Book USB drive) and loaded it into FSX just for kicks. Well it showed. But when landing on water it will just jump, jump, jump (due to contact points) and won't stop (but won't 'crash' so you can still take off) and all of this really freaks me out. Very strange behavior. The FDEs I have are from 2006 and for FS9, and my FSX is Accleration, so I had to do changes to the air and a bunch to the cfg file. But it still bounces on the water. Will try it in FS9 tomorrow-it's late. Maybe I will get it working half way decent. Then I can email you the model. The only Mallard at Simviation had a messed up aircraft cfg (must of been written, and saved, with Wordpad). I thought everyone knew never to use Wordpad on aircraft cfg (and to always use Notepad). Talk with you later.

Opa,

Here is what they have (if it's the 'corsairX.zip'):

idle_rpm_mechanical_efficiency_scalar= 0.65 //Scalar on idle RPM mechanical efficiency

idle_rpm_friction_scalar= 1.0 //Scalar on idle RPM friction

So it's backasswards. S/B 1.0 for Mech Eff, and 0.65 for Friction. Try that. Downloaded adn will try tonight. CUL8R.

Opa,

Sorry for delay. I might have said dbl click but the correct way is with LEFT mouse button clicks. The right button click will bring up context menu where you do the 'Open With' operation. I'll go check to see if I goofed up (again). Thanks for heads up.

I will relate with you the 'right click' plus 'open with' and how it can mess things up. I right clicked an air file, and clicked 'open with FLV Video Converter' by mistake (fast hands but slow brain-hehe). Had to go registry to delete the 'opens with' problem. I open air files with right click on AirEd Icon on my desktop, then 'Open' and browse to air file (which is correct and only way, as AirEd is not registered so air files don't open automatically when you 'dbl click' them (with left mouse). Hope you had a pleasant Easter Holiday. CUL8R.
