Thanks Detlef, was the answer I was half expecting but was unsure how wise it would be to proliferate xml files 'specially model specific like that... I suppose if you include them in the distro and place them where they are not going to cause problems {/Aircraft/(myAC)/Models} then they should be ok.... I suppose this foile could also include an animation for tail-draggers that puts the tail on the ground when "on-ground" and "ktas"< say 50knts yeah?
