Hi,

my jsbsim 717-200 flies much nicer now. 
Maybe a little more fiddling w/ the elevator.

For test flights, check out the plane at:
http://cockpit.varxec.de/fgfs/fgfs_717-200.tar.bz2
(includes ac3d file of visual model, but no sounds)

http://cockpit.varxec.de/fgfs/fgfs_717-200_71.blend.gz
(the blender file used to create the ac3d file)

The 3D model is not that far yet. I'm not very good when it comes to
modelling.  Its completely made in blender (2.27).
No movable parts yet. I realized that the ac-export python script does
not use the names for the meshes that are given in blender. 

Is anyone else using only blender to create the aircraft models for
flightgear ? (ie. without ppe or AC3D)


Here are some shots while taxiing at LIRF (Rome Fiumicino):

Nosewheelsteering doesn't work yet apparently..
By default, my model is tanked 100% which means that it is pretty heavy
(MTOW actually) when you start.

13deg Flaps for takeoff (press ']' once) and accelerate to about 135 kts
and rotate.

Landing: Approach at about 140-145 kts w/ full flaps (40deg)


I'd like to hear what you think. (esp. concerning the flightmodel)

Regards,
Manuel
