Both the c172r and c172x JSBSim config files reference a thruster call
"prop_Clark_Y7570" this file is not present in the CVS. Both planes
folders contain a thruster called prop_75in2f.xml
Kinda makes them unflyable...

There is a problem with some ATI graphics hardware using ATI's proprietary
fglrx driver in Linux. FlightGear runs at about 25% of expected frame rate,
eventually spewing lots of these:
