Since this is a JSBSim only question I've forwarded this to the jsbsim mailinglist. I would advise you to subscribe to that list also:

Hi all, Could someone give me a better idea on how the FDM works in Flightgear? I'm using JSBsim with the c-182 and have found myself a little confused on how it calculates the values from the configuration file. For example, how exactly is the lift force calculated from Cl? I do know that Cl = Clo + Clalpha*alpha + etc.. , and each of those multiplied by the dimensionalizing factors gives the lift force itself. But the table data in the configuration file implies that Cl=Cl(alpha), hence eliminating the need for Clo. Similarly for the Cd and Cm... Would anyone be able to explain this to me better? Also I'm wondering if I can find code where the values from the configuration files are processed. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
