My email below is kind of misleading indicating that I am not completely finished - but actually I did get farther and I tested what I had and I believe it is completed. You just need to uncomment the code in JSBSim.cxx and use that instead of what is just above it.
It also means that we need to have the proper config file items set in whatever model you choose to test it with. I haven't done this, yet, but perhaps I ought to with the 737 and/or 747 as a test - something with a long "moment arm" from the CG.
