There is an idea being discussed by some that involves a bit of a change with the directory structure. The Engine/ directory in the base package has been used by JSBSim as a storage place for engine configuration files. This allows for aircraft to reuse engines from this one spot. However, the actual value of having that single directory for engines is not being realized. There simply aren't many aircraft that we model (or are likely to model) that use the same engine. Also, the files are miniscule. If an additional search path was added for a location in which to look for engine definition files - say, in the aircraft directory - then that might allow tar files to be made pretty much plug-n-play. All the relevant aircraft files (including 3D models and instrument panels ??) could be tarred up and hosted on the JSBSim web site (for JSBSim aircraft, which are the ones in question at the moment).
Are there any good reasons NOT to do this? Jon -- Project Coordinator JSBSim Flight Dynamics Model http://www.jsbsim.org _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
