Hello all,

Here you go: http://equipe-flightgear.forumactif.com/t504-l-alouette-2 Summary of the reasons why the fdm has changed for those not able to understand french: The author JM-26 and helijah wasn't happy with the fdm, as it wasn't able that easy to fly as they want to have. JM-26 proposed a much more easier-to-fly-fdm. Helijah is aware of the fact that Maik usually uses real datas, and that it is quite convincing. But he is just sad beeing not able to fly his own model. Just simply because helijah wants to fly helicopters in FG but he isn't able to, he replaced the fdm with the changed fdm by JM-26. It may be easily to fly- but it is horrorible wrong. The same applies to the R44 in the repository. I don't want to judge about, but I must admit that I'm dissapointed. I must admit I had no problems to fly the AlouetteII before, and I know a lot of others users which didn't have problems as well with this. I wonder why if there is a need for an easy-to-fly-helicopter, why not create a mod for those who need it? But I don't think it is in the spirit of FGFS to replace a plausible and correct fdm with a wrong one and destroy the work of another author without asking him. I would like to have the old fdm back, maybe it is possible to have another version with the easy-to-fly-fdm beside the original one. Any opinions about, something I missed?
