Oh, baby. Someone get some instruments in that thing. :) One nit that occurs to me: looking at the horizon, it looks like the view down over the nose is only about 5° or so. This means that the runway will be hidden under the nose at a typical approach AoA of 8°. I think, anyway. That's the AoA that the YASim model likes to use for approaches (i.e. solves for), in any case. If anyone has better figures on approach AoA or cockpit geometry/visibility, speak up and I can fix the flight model. Maybe the viewpoint needs to be moved up a few cm or so? A few months back someone was looking at trying to integrate the OpenGC stuff into FlightGear as a panel-like object. Did anything come of that? Andy -- Andrew J.
