Here's a simple command-line to start lined up for takeoff on the Saratoga aircraft carrier:

fgfs --lon=-122.575412 --lat=37.726849

Unfortunately, all is not happy. A full-speed takeoff results in strange problems, so try a slow taxi to the ramp (say, 1000 rpm). The nosewheel sinks in about halfway and the plane ends up nose down, embedded in the carrier deck.

Even if the plane could make it to the ramp, it wouldn't climb it properly, because JSBSim (and possibly YASim as well) does only one terrain-elevation calculation for the whole plane, rather than one for each wheel -- as a result, the plane will not slope on a sloping surface.


All the best,



David
