Here is the comparison by slowly rolling towards the flight deck edge: Present CVS version still stable here: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/fgfs-F80C_cvs.jpg With the VRP shifted 4.7 meters/185" towards the rear: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/fgfs-F80C_new.jpg A quite fun way to visualize how well the FDM model's landing gears correspond to the 3d-models.. :) Cheers, Anders -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anders Gidenstam mail: anders(at)gidenstam.org WWW: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/JSBSim-LTA/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
