[Flightgear-devel] YASim flaps finally working (?)

2002-06-14 Thread Andy Ross
I believe I've (finally) nailed the flap drag bug in YASim. A good amount of thought, some work with pencil and paper, and a (IMNSHO) damn clever application of the small angle approximation worked quite well. The code changes were actually very modest and well-contained; no machetes necessary.
