I used my createfgfs script in a CygWin shell:

./createfgfs update all

which updates all of plib, simgear, base package, and flightgear, then
builds and installs them sequentially. It went off without a hitch. Very
nice build.

My first test flight revealed a potential bug, however. I simply typed:

fgfs

to run the default aircraft. After gaining some altitude, and while at full
power, I began pulling back on the stick, and when my speed had descended to
about 50 or so, I pulled back on the stick all the way and gave slight left
roll input. This resulted in a little tumble, but when I came out of it and
regained level flight, the ADI showed I had a left roll of about 40 degrees,
but the visual scene (and more importantly for me) the FDM property that
drives it showed  a roll angle of about -4 degrees. I tried this repeatedly
and got the same results. The ADI appears to get out of sync somehow. Is
this instrument being driven through an intermediate "sensor" between the
FDM property and the device display?
