All that was bad was a flag caused the trim routine to be called or not called with a "tGround" parameter...whatever that is, which was discussed in this thread yesterday. Questions are still unanswered, so I'm sure that sometime down the road the trim routine will rear it's ugly head again. David's explanation is relevant but not entirely, because this issue was showing up doing a full reset. I think, that maybe this could be resolved by doing as Andy described earlier. In other words know where the gear is and get it above the pavement (ground elevation) before the simulation starts. Then and only then drop the sucker, start the simulation, and let it settle. Sorry for the simplistic explanation and my apologies for suggesting that JSBSim could do something about bad data instead of just crashing random aircraft. As it is now we need to test every single JSBSim aircraft every time a modification is made to flightgear because the trim routine is lacks robustness.
