Rotorcraft selection problem

[nikaslan]

Hello,

For some days now I am evaluating the unregistered version of IF, which managed to impress me with its many useful features.

But I think I stumbled on a bug regarding rotorcraft selection. When I select "Rotorcraft" in Aircraft Type and then try to select any of the Cera "Bell 222B" or the default "Robinson R22 Beta II" or the Hovercontrol "Bell/Textron HC412EP" helicopters I get the message "Some parameters of this aircraft are incompatible with the current airport facilities." I can normally select other helicopters as the default "Bell 206B Jetranger" or the "Dodosim 206" or the default EH101.

I found that the problem is related with a parameter in the aircraft.cfg (or sim.cfg) file. If the helicopter's "engine_type" parameter is 5 (turboprop) or 0 (piston) then this helicopter cannot be selected.

I hope it gets fixed soon as these helicopters cannot be used with Ideal Flight.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

I appreciate your input Nick, I'm smoothing over a lot of stuff, I think you will like the next update, it's had polish rather than lots of new features - nearly ready now... Stay tuned, see the report page: http://www.codelegend.com/idealflight/report.htm
