I've been glancing through the configuration files for this aircraft. There's 
several thing written in Nasal I'd like to port over to JSBSim systems:
 - Flaps function based on voltage
 - Flaps retract automatically above 250 knots

 - Airbrakes function based on voltage
 - Airbrakes retract automatically above mach 1.3

 - Move drag chute to an external force and do much more of it in JSBSim

 - Refuel, use the internal JSBSim refuel mechanism instead of nasal
   interpolations.

 - Landing gear function based on voltage
 - Landing gear will not retract below 150 knots
 - Landing gear emergency will lock gears down

I also plan to make the FDM more 360 degree capable as well as making it less 
yaw stable above mach 1.7

Thanks,
Ron

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
