I've now got a model working, sort of, with drop tanks. At the moment it's only partly realistic, because the fuel can't be managed correctly yet. I've modelled the pylons as vertical stabilisers and the droptanks as weights. Separation looks OK from the cockpit view, and reasonable from external views, provided that the aircraft is straight and level. I note that when full fuel tanks are jettisoned, there isn't much sign of nearly a ton being released from the aircraft. I was looking for at least a flick from the accelerometer. Does it happen too fast for the instrument to pick it up? There is a detectable, but small, trim change as I would expect.
