Hello,

today i tested all 45 aircrafts that are available in flightgear
and wrote down all things i noticed that were missing, wrong or not functional 
for each aircraft.

The result is this aircraft TODO list, i suggest adding this file to cvs
in the data/Aircraft directory, so that new entrys or old entrys can easily
be removed in this file when an aircraft gets upgraded.

I also want to mention that i didn't added entrys for the FDM of the aircrafts 
because i don't know how they behave  in reality so if you flew such an 
aircraft and know that the flight behaviour of that aircraft in flightgear is 
wrong then just add an entry to this aircraft todo list or solve the problem
by tweaking the aircraft's xml files.

I hope you can need this TODO list.

Best Regards,
 Oliver C.
