Hi, TB,
I wanted to pass along the compliments to "Jon's FDM" to the JSBSim *Team*,
the members of which can be found at
http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/about.html. A lot of developers and modelers
and users have brought it to where it is today, just like FlightGear has
been a great team effort over the years, as well as the other FDMs, YASim,
UIUC-LaRCSim, etc.
I'm glad to hear more feedback on the C172 model.
Jon
