Hi, FT: You could discuss this on the JSBSim list, or here. Right now, we have a turbine model that seems to work pretty well, but you are welcome to take a look at that and either suggest/work on specific improvements, or see how the interfaces work and try writing one yourself. Note that one limitation that makes the task a bit harder is the generalization so that it works for many specific engines. And the specification/configuration file must be designed with publicly available (or deducible) information in mind. Right now we don't use a nozzle, or inlet. Some discussion on that would be interesting. Jon ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
