I find them equally easy to read and decided to use the way that YASim uses (from the same author as Nasal, as you probably know). See ./src/FDM/YASim/FGFDM.cpp. I only made the DEG2RAD even shorter (which might indeed have been a mistake). But you can easily do something like this in your Nasal code (once there is something like "your Nasal code", that is ;-): var MPS_TO_KT = MPS2KT; What do other Nasal developers think? I'm willing to change it if others have problems with that, too. (And to change all occurrences in the repository.) BTW (or BY_THE_WAY, as some say): the constants in globals.nas aren't meant to become an exhaustive set of conversion factors, and I won't add some just for the sake of it. They have to be actually used by real code. m. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
