I would be glad to do the work for MSVC, but enabling the highest warning level generates warnings that I have no hope of understanding (the default is W3, and the highest level is W4), as it complains about usage that is inside STL, etc. I can easily submit patches for the more obvious errors (eliminating unreferenced local variables, adding some type casts), but I don't feel that I can supply patches for the FDMs. I can, if people would like, keep an up-to-date list of of the MSVC errors available at: http://homepage.mac.com/eq_fidget/FlightGearErrors.html > 2.
