# Nasal script to print errors to the screen when aircraft exceed design limits:
# - extending flaps above maximum flap extension speed(s)
# - extending gear above maximum gear extension speed
# - exceeding Vna
# - exceeding structural G limits
#
# To use, include this .nas file and define one or more of
# limits/max-flap-extension-speed/speed
# limits/max-flap-extension-speed/flaps
# limits/vne
# limits/max-gear-extension-speed
# limits/max-positive-g
# limits/max-negative-g (must be defined in max-positive-g defined)
#
# You can defined multiple max-flap-extension-speed entries, for max extension
# speeds for different flap settings.
