I don't know about YASim, but I am in the process of digging through JSBSim in an effort to extract the mathematical model.
To me it does appear the JSBSim is a total forces and moments theory model. You may want to see the following bits of the JSBSim documentation: FGForce class: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/JSBSim/classJSBSim_1_1FGForce.html FGAircraft class: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/JSBSim/classJSBSim_1_1FGAircraft.html FGPropgate class: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/JSBSim/classJSBSim_1_1FGPropagate.html These papers are also referenced by the JSBSim docs, and may help you(you can get them all for free online): Cooke, Zyda, Pratt, and McGhee, "NPSNET: Flight Simulation Dynamic Modeling Using Quaternions", Presence, Vol. 1, No. 4, pp. 404-420 Naval Postgraduate School, January 1994 D. M. Henderson, "Euler Angles, Quaternions, and Transformation Matrices", JSC 12960, July 1977 Richard E. McFarland, "A Standard Kinematic Model for Flight Simulation at NASA-Ames", NASA CR-2497, January 1975 Sophie, hopefully this will help you, also If you have any insights for me to help me extract the mathematical model from the code, then let me know.
