Hi, John: I was almost ready to go to bed, then this came through. :-) I vaguely remember this. There are several things that are ready or close to ready to be integrated with JSBSim at this time: 1) A new trim capability (Agostino De Marco - some of this will be presented at the AIAA Modeling and Simulation Conference during the week of August 20 at Hilton Head in South Carolina). 2) A new external forces capability (for hook and catapult, tow rope, chutes, etc.) is being developed by Dave Culp. 3) A lighter-than-air capability has been under development for some time by Anders Gidenstam, and I'd like to get that in at some point. 4) I forgot what this one was ... Anyhow, how does your new gas turbine model compare with the existing one in JSBSim - apart from (apparently) being of higher fidelity?
