Try downloading it, installing it, go out to the Datcom directory (folder on
your desktop), find the Examples directory, double-clickon Citation.dcm,
then when that process finishes, double click on Citation.ac and
citation.lfi. 5 minutes tops. It is SO easy now on Windows. Now, building
your own model, that's another story ;-}
That Windows installed damn near killed me. I was working 12-14 hours a day,
restoring Ghost images of WIndows XP or Vista, occassionally having to
rebuild my disk from scratch. I have WIndows XP with and without Notepad++
installed, Vista with and without Notepad, and Debian, all able to be
loaded. I really check ed this system out. I had a guy in Germany that was
'helping', but he complained about stuff that I just wasn't seeing. There
are some differences in the Windows XP installation ('Program Files' becomes
'Programmes'). Turns out that his system was minorally hosed, and I wasted
about 12 hours finxing something that wasn't a problem.
ANyway, give it a try.....

Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Datcom+ 2.1 Release annoucement
Dang, I really need to try this package out. I'm going to need to take a
couple of vacation days or something though. Getting hammered this entire
summer from all sides.
Made some progress with my UAV altitude hold controller this morning before
work. I have a plot and a movie of the flightgear replay under today's
entry at this url:

Full res movie (so you can read the gauges) is here:

I am happy to annouce the release of of Datcom+ 2.1. This has been a LOT of
work packaging these tools into nice installation packages, for Windows XP
and Windows Vista for point and click people, Cygwin under Windows XP and
Vista for the smells-like-Linux group, and Linux (compiled under Debian).
For those of you that don't know what Datcom is, it is an United States Air
Force program that predicts aircraft performance characteristics based on
the geometric shape. There are three visualization tools associated with the
Datcom+ package, two for plotting coefficients and one for plotting the
three dimensional model.
The download packages and installation instructions can be found at
http://holycows.net/datcom/
This will be the LAST Datcom-related broadcast message on FlightGear and
JSBSim. There is a Yahoo group for Digital_Datcom at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/digital_datcom/. There are only 11
members right now, but I encourage you to join the group if you are
interested in Datcom. Email traffic is almost non-existant.
