Does still not compile on Unix. One gets a 

  src/FDM/YASim/Model.cpp:24:23: error: windows.h: No such file or directory

and has to enable the #ifdef HAVE_WINDOWS_H around that #include.
(Will we ever get rid of this HAVE_WINDOWS and HAVE_CONFIG nonsense?
No, probably not ...)


Compiled, took a ride ... what can I say?! It's quite different now ...
The best thing I can say is that it sinks quite fast. But apart from
that: it's *extremely* pitch instable, even at higher speeds, which doesn't
feel right. I didn't feel the least ground or autorotation effect. All in
all ... if I felt my pilots had that much of a fight against the machine
as I had, I wouldn't ever fly with them. Or does one just need very good
controls now? Maybe I'll have to write an extra joystick config for
fgfs helicopters, with a huuuge <power> value ...  :-}
