I have been playing with the external FDM interface and noticed 
something strange, that I was able to verify with the magic carpet FDM.  
It appears that both pitch and yaw are earth relative and not aircraft 
body relative.  I can pause the FDM, roll the aircraft to 90 degrees 
(using the properties menu) and I find that positive pitch moves me 
toward the sky and negative toward the ground (I chose 90 degrees 
because things are more exaggerated).  I was expecting a change in 
aircraft pitch to equate to a change in heading, and conversely a change 
in aircraft yaw should give a change in pitch, WRT the earth.

Am I expecting the right behavior or am I just confused?

Thanks,

Jonathan Polley
