I think this should be solved via an additional option like: --fdm= which stands for flight model. So when starting flightgear with a different FDM model for the c172 it would look like this: ./fgfs --aircraft=c172 --fdm=yasim or ./fgfs --aircraft=c172 --fdm=jsbsim or ./fgfs --aircraft=c172 --fdm=LaRCsim When we want to know if a particular FDM model is available for an aircraft we could mention that in the --show-aircraft list. So this could look like this: c172 Cessna 172 (yasim, jsbsim, LaRCsim) Where the names in the brackes show what kinds of fdm models are available for this aircraft type. The X-15 would have in this case only such an entry: X15 North American X-15 (jsbsim) Which means that only jsbsim is available but not yasim or others. In the end we should have a aircraft selector menu in flightgear anyway where we can also choose the FDM model.
