Ditto. I'll definitely try and be there next year.
Well done guys!

I'm creating the 3d instruments for the mb339 using JSBSim

The questions are:
about YASim: in which units is measured the oil pressure?
In JSBSim the value is holded by oil-pressure-psi and it's
measured in psi; in YASim is holded by epr but
