I think this is more along the lines of my not what is important to each FDM when it comes to configuration. If I wanted to configure a Boeing 707 model by modifying a 747 model, what is needed for each FDM type? When I look in YASim, I see quite a bit of information, but I don't know what it pertinent. What does it mean to add or remove an engine to the various FDMs? How do I define the characteristics of an engine? All of these questions come about because I am unfamiliar with how the FDMs are put together and how they work. My documentation effort is driven by my lack of understanding on how things work, and my assumption that I am not the only one ;) On that topic, I have some updates to the preferences.xml documentation http://homepage.mac.com/eq_fidget/FG_Dox/preferences_xml.html Thanks for the info, Jonathan Polley _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
