Try the airport code in all caps ... this used to be more robust to
non-matching codes, not sure what changed but we should probably look
into it.
This is fixed in CVS. Unfortunately, fgfs ignores lower case
icao codes now, rather than accept
I really think we should have some more screenshots.
Looks great btw.

Here's a few questions (btw the topic is the best word I could think
of).
Stopping distances - I wondered if we were modelling these correctly on
any aircraft - specifically on the larger ones such as the b52 and 747.
Fuel Burn - I think someone mentioned this once (and probably it was
modelled)
First let me say how good it looks,
Now I need to ask, how easy is this to maintain - I'm all in favour of
using some modern approach to web design. Ideally we would want to make
the life of the admin (Curt) easier not harder.

For the big aircraft, a lot of that has to do with reverse thrust,

Wonderful aeroplane! I flew one (pilot under instruction) in the late '60's.
Do it, just for the contrast. Then an FG model perhaps?

Yes, this is definitely messed up (for JSBSim at least. I have not
investigated any of the others). Some issues I've found are: the density
of the fuel is wrong, somewhere along the line gallons are passed to a

Ok, so the framerate is higher in 16 bit and there aren't any weird

In JSBSim we have reverse thrust and spoilers available. We don't have
