 So what is the difference? Number of iterations?

That sounds like a bug.  They are intended to produce identical
behavior.  Is it possible you have a yasim binary build from a
different version of the code than your fgfs?  Note specifically the
recent incidence fix.

Indeed.  But the solver doesn't do any gear testing.

My first thought too.

The file I used was the AN-225-yasim.xml with the only modification of
negating the sign of wing incidence -- to get a view of what yasim
had to say about the model as it was before the recent yasim bugfix.
(Reverting the fix, so to speak: setting wing incidence to -4. No twist
settings in that file) Much to my surprise, yasim spitted it out again
with:
Solution results:  Iterations: 10002
 Drag Coefficient: 0.00
   Lift Ratio: 40757985280.00
   Cruise AoA: 2.074975
   Tail Incidence: -2.490169
Approach Elevator: 0.00
   CG: -7.222, -0.000, 3.603
SOLUTION FAILURE: Solution failed to converge after 1 iterations

Fgfs, however, happily accepts it.

[Flightgear-devel] yasim(-test) vs fgfs

2005-12-02 Thread Joacim Persson

I've discovered a difference between how fgfs calls the yasim solver, and
how the yasim binary (aka yasim-test) does it. I have a -yasim.xml which
doesn't pass yasim(-test) but which fgfs accepts... ?:-P

So what is the difference? Number of iterations?

I know of one difference:
Ground intersection tests.
The yasim-test uses the standard ellipsoids sea level as ground as it has no 
scenery.

Don't know what else.
