It seems as though this model is nearly impossible to fly without a few pieces
of information. So I finally got around to making up a doc to go with the
p51d-yasim flight model. It is in Aircraft-yasim/README.p51d.
For those who have been flying the p51d, note that I just made the booster
Just put together a quick picture of what you can click on in this cockpit.
Also added a few notes on what doesn't do anything, so that folks can get a
better idea of where things really are as far as implementation is concerned.

Now it is possible to fly the P-51D from cvs... --aircraft-id=p51d. I've made
an attempt to create a YASim file. Needless to say, I don't know what I'm
doing, but I think i've done pretty well with the dimensions.
The YASim model is flyable and pretty reasonable performance wise, but there
are
Here are some screen shots of the last couple of night's progress:

Jim,
I like the model, after I get back from holiday I'll get out my spitfire
model and do some more work on that. Just need a few german fighters
now a 109 would be nice.

If it's not too much trouble, you might ask about Mustang
Half Half that he also did. It's got the exact markings
of the P-51D I photogrpahed and incorporated into a lot of
our FlightGear and JSBSim artwork. See my airshow pictures
here:

Actually I volunteered to build a 3D of the Mustang a while back if someone
came up with an FDM config. I've collected pics and 3views to work with. You
got one running in JSBsim?
