I wanted to make sure I just don't have a glitch in OPS. When I look at the P-51D there are no entries under the wingtips for:
airK
airAdvantage
airArea
airMax
airAR
airSection
and no obAirfoil assigned

if this isn't a bug- then no wonder the p51 FM is so hosed.

Is there anything anywhere that explains what each of those (and more) does? Just starting out and trying to understand what they do with out a clue is tough.

Hawk,

There is an FM FAQ on this site, but I added some more answers to it on a file I have. I'll send you the file in RTF format. It covers a few things, but there's still a lot that's not covered. Have you read through Sv's tutorials on his site- they're a great help.

Also, I have a spreadsheet setup that does some of the calculations- Aspect ratio, Average Chord, gear ratio, Airmax.

I used Staroffice, but if anyone wants, I can see if I can export it to excel

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned, but Hawk, you can find some definitions to those properties and much more in the Openplane Specification written by MH.
