Rest assured, the Concorde has its share of oddities :) See the known problems part in the ReadmeConcorde-jbsim.txt. Yes, it sure does. But I guess I mean something slightly different. I have tried to fly AP-controlled IFR approaches in a number of planes (since I can do really good-looking

I spent several hours in RL flights measuring the behaviour and timing of the CENTURYIII and several days to implement the measured values in it's digital counterpart in the SenecaII. I am confident that the SenecaII has an autopilot capable handling all published procedures including flying

Sorry, I should have been more clear. My original comment was about airliners and that's what I was still referring to. I fly the SenecaII quite frequently and have indeed never had any problems with its AP. Ah - ok. I obviously missed you were mentioning airliners. Glad, that it's working for

We currently have - 777-200 I have been trying the CRJ700 lately, and I think this might be an option for an airliner as well - the cockpit has a nice visual quality, it comes with engine start procedure, the AP seems to be well-tuned and free of oscillatory behaviour and the night lights in

Hi Torsten et al., As mentioned by others, I do believe that this is quite a nice selection. But, I think that we should consider our original intentions for rotating the aircraft selection. By changing the selection, we have a nice platform to showcase some of the recent development and
