Yeah, I actually took a look at that. I have a handle on how to do the XML, I just don't have the expertise to make the actual sound files. The DC3 engine sounds are nice, but they don't quite have that throaty sound that you get from an 18 cyl radial. I found a few recordings, but they are low quality. I suppose I should write to the CAF in Midland and see if they have any recordings of Fifi. That would probably be the best starting point.

You could also try Aeromatic at the JSBSim web site:
http://www.jsbsim.org/aeromatic.html
For giving you a very quick start on a JSBSim flight model.

Jon,
I took another crack at this with aeromatic, but I'm getting the following segfault from fgfs. It seems that it is looking at the engine file and then discarding it and looking for an alternative file that doesn't exist. Also, http://home.comcast.net/~jrbabcock/superfort/b29.xml exists.
