I think this has been discussed before, at least in one simple example, but I can't find the thread. Here is the thread which is raising the question, #8 by JonN

I have actually found good data on the Uboat/Dash 7 and the GP35-GP50 models now as well.

RE: Actual throttle vs. notch %

Bob, after working with the cab view editor, I think I can safely say that those controls were only designed to work in a linear fashion, so it seems if you want a realistic power curve, you're going to have to put up with your power handle and throttle disply acting funny. Oh, well, I still use the realistic power curve anyway...Jonathan Nikiforovs.
