My wish list for YASim is slightly different:

 - steady-state starts with non-zero velocity and/or in-air

Andy: if you have questions about how resets and position changes are
handled in flightgear, please ask.

 - respect runtime property changes (i.e. new altitude or location)

I would respectfully suggest that this one not be implimented or at
least be put at a low priority.  We tried to do this in JSBsim and it
can really get messy.

I think it would be much cleaner to force a reset to a new location
each time we warp to a new location.  This allows us to delete the FDM
instance and create a new one so it can be freshly inited and trimmed
for the new conditions.  Otherwise, it's really hard not to carry over
some state from the previous location which can cause obscenely large
forces and other wierdness.

Regards,

Curt.
