The VRP isn't really an issue with YASim aircraft because the geometry is fundamental to the solver and as long as everything is consistant, that is the fdm, animations and visual origin, it should look and work correctly regardless of where the model and fdm origin is actually located. You'll find that the early aircraft were done before the VRP concept was established and for YASim aircraft, at least, making them VRP compliant would have had a low priority because it would have had no effect on the behaviour or appearance of the aircraft but would have required a lot of work to re-align all of the animations. Well, that was my excuse:) LeeE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
