Hello,
I have a quick question... I'm building a custom catapult, to launch aircraft at more realistic speeds than the default cat. To accomplish that goal while keeping it simple, I'd like to launch each aircraft at its stall speed plus a margin of, say, 20kts.
So the question is: how can I find the stall speed (say, at empty weight) for the user aircraft, without resorting to a lookup table by aircraft type? Checking the A:var reference shows "Stall Alpha", but no "stall speed clean" - or better yet "stall speed dirty" (which is of course what I'm actually after)... Can you guys think of any way to calculate the landing configuration stall speed at some weight (I can scale speed for loading change using a simple formula), using either information from A:vars/simconnect, or by reading from aircraft.cfg?
Thanks as always,
Farley
