JSB will be exact for every situation that is known and flight tested, but may have odd and/or unrealistic behavior outside normal flight. (Shhht, don't let Jon hear this!) YA will be sensible and consistent in almost every flight situation, but is likely differ slightly from the performance numbers in the POH. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Actually, when we get around to it, we do want to be plausible off-nominal, too. Jon ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Ha! Actually, when we get around to it, we do want to be plausible off-nominal, too. Jon Jon, I read that sentence, digested it and promptly started snickering insanely. What a quote. I'm not crazy, I'm plausibly off-nominal! *rofl* ?? Maybe I've been around NASA types too long. ;-) What I meant was that we'd like to have at least *believable* flight dynamics when flying in off-nominal conditions (spin, hammerhead, etc.) But I am glad I made you laugh. :-) Jon ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
