Jon, I forget, what exactly is the reason for defining a VRP in the config file? I thought that JSBSim already knew where the nose was.
We normally track:
- Initial empty weight CG
- Dynamic CG (includes fuel burnoff)
- landing gear ground contact points
- scrape points
- pilot eyepoint (for calculating pilot accels for motion base systems and instruments)
and now,
- the Visual Reference Point (tm)
The VRP is what is returned to JSBSim.cxx (FGJSBsim == FGInterface)
Although I strongly agree that JSBSim reporting a fixed point relative to the aircraft is good, I'm not
particularly thrilled with the point you have chosen. I am more than happy to agree to disagree on that
one though.
But, as discussed, this has not been given the final "push" into operations, yet.
Certainly don't let my prattling stop you... ;-)
