FlightGear doesn't provide a ground crew that could remove the chocks

Oh good, someone else agrees with

Hi Josh,
although I can't understand why someone would like to start a flightsim
session with programmed trouble (=aircraft not in a stable position) I
accept the argument that the status of the aircraft should be set up
separately, ie in the preferences file.

It would be an added touch of realisism IMHO
I use ac_state.nas[1], which puts the aircraft where you left it last
time. This is even more

Hi Steve Havlir,
I never would have tried the Harrier without any reference points to the

So, with this actual flight model you have to think a lot more in
advance compared to a helicopter (where you also have to think in
advance) due to the big! delay to power-setting and steering commands.
Actually, I do not have any detailled

Harriers have little reactor jets to change the aircraft's
orientation during hover. I've been unable to find a good
reference for where these are, exactly. I've chosen to put the
pitch and yaw jets in the tail,

I think the gear needs a good bit more damping - I've used damp=4 on all
the gear which is very much better, although possibly a wee bit much?
Perhaps the spring rates of the u/c need upped a tiny bit too, I've not
played with that yet.
Since those of you who have checkin access never seem to be around when i am
online, I guess the devel list will have to do.
I am at a good checkpoint with the harrier model. Since there are a million
variants of the harrier, I picked the version to do a 3d model that was very
similar to what
