Hi, It turns out that the slip-skid ball is driven by the properties /accelerations/pilot/y-accel-fps_sec and /accelerations/pilot/z-accel-fps_sec which seem to be copied from the JSBSim properties .../jsbsim/accelerations/a-pilot-y-ft_sec2 and .../jsbsim/accelerations/a-pilot-z-ft_sec2 . What is remarkable about the a-pilot-*-ft_sec2 properties is that they are nonzero even when the aircraft and pilot is at rest on the ground. E.g. a-pilot-z-ft_sec2 is 32.1 ft/sec^2 (= g I presume - I'm a SI person;) I don't know if that behaviour in JSBSim is intended or not - but the SlipSkidBall.cxx clearly does assume such behaviour.
