The trimming routine is not the problem. Jim W. said it himself, the behavior changes when -9999 is set as the altitude. Well, the only place such logic exists is in src/Main, not src/FDM. I think eyeballs need to be directed that way. Furthermore, nothing regarding the trimming routine has changed for at least three weeks. I really am at a loss to explain why we have to go through this "blame the trimming routine" routine every time it fails. The trimming routine does not do magic, it's just a 6-dof zero finder, something every engineer learns how to code in school. It is not a mysterious black box. As such, it is no different than any other piece of code: GIGO. > > Greetings > > Mathias > > -- > Mathias Fröhlich, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________________________ > Flightgear-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel > > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
