Not really. The FDM still calculates the position of the CG of the aircraft. It's just that we know exactly where the agreed-upon MRP is at all moments of time, so we calculate that and give it to FlightGear. We could just as easily agree that the wingtip was the "common known point", calculate that, and have FlightGear place the 3D model in the view so that the wingtip was at the specified point. The only thing the FDM does as an auxiliary calculation to aid the 3D model placement is to additionally calculate the MRP position in world space and make that available to FlightGear. Or, at least, we will when I code it. Jon _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
