Many Thanks for your answer. About animation you are right i forgot the the spin animation wheel, it is easy to do. In addition to, it should get the "ram air turbine" (RAT), but i fear that will be to much details. The FDM JSBSim in use is coming from Aeromatic, i only added some extra components especially the the "variable wing incidence". I will need a lot of days and many research to get the right FDM parameters. The target is to be as close as possible to the right aircraft specifications ( though.. the speed take off and approach is not so bad). That aircraft has been revolutionary when it arise in 1955. If i can, i should do two versions (two different FDM) the basic US NAVY one and the FRENCH NAVY one which had been improved (by Vought Engineers ) in order to reduce the take off and landing distance because of the low sized French Carrier :=( The last US NAVY group VFP 63 was stopped in 1982. One Crusader has been in use by the NASA (i hope to be able to draw the texture) the painting is wonderful. On the French side it has been in use during 35 years ( last flight December 15 1999 ). Waiting for the Rafale, by 1992 it was refurbished with new avionic equipment from Mirage 2000 and Super-Etendard . It became F-8P. And This is a call to everybody, every informations and data about that Aircraft are Welcome.
