When I reported the 747 problem, it had nothing to do with approaching.
The 747 didn't work at all! Not even the scenery was shown, before fgfs
aborted. Just the HUD and the sky.

Now with your recent changes it works again. I could lift off, everything
felt OK. But landing was a big challenge, because the flaps seemed to produce
too much lift near the ground, I could hardly get down with full flaps
and no throttle. It resembled flying with --fdm=balloon.

After setting boeing747.ac as model I encountered something strange.
Not only that the 747 doesn't sit on the ground but hover some meters
above the ground. When you are in the cockpit you see a big part of
the 747 in front and beneath you. The pilot doesn't really sit in the
machine.

The yasim C310 is broken now, like the 747 was before: It endlessly
(10000 times?) outputs these:

  p0 1.689844 p1 1.684052 e -0.226954 d 0.029176
  l 85.502754 d 0.013781 aoa 0.029065 inc 0.065312 ele -0.226954


BTW: the 'new' HUD looks quite cool ... and confusing.  :-]
