Is it safe to summarize the responses as follows? The reason that the MagicCarpet FDM does not properly position the aircraft on the runway is because it has no concept of "airframe." This means that it does not take into account the relative position of the pilot's view with respect to the landing gear.
Jonathan Polley p.s. I am ignoring CG here because, to me, it is only one of the components of understanding the airframe. To me, airframe means body size and shape. p.p.s. Is there some generic abstraction of airframe in FlightGear so that any FDM can properly compute the view offset? _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
