I wonder ...   I don't know much about where FG stores it's various files,
now.

For JSBSim standalone I think we would have a file that sits in the base
directory (from which JSBSim is run) or specified in an environment variable
JSBSIM_ROOT.  This file I am referring to for JSBSim would serve to set up
simulation specific (something that is not or should not be aircraft or
initial conditions-specific) parameters, like:

- atmosphere model choice (including whether it is earth or Mars - stay
tuned)
- Output logging
- choice of integrators for various calculations (see McFarland paper)
- etc.
