Goooood! I'v paied so much time to understand the config file and still not
understand completely. //blush

Such discussion should have be done a long time ago.

It seems that in currently UIUC models only the UAV Pioneer has the most
complete nonlinear arguments. How about try to make a UAV Pioneer nonlinear model from
LarSim to JSBSim?
