After visiting Jon Berndt's revamped JSBsim website and getting hooked on heavies after my recent 747 tests, I decided to punch some MD-11 performance data, which I picked up from http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/ into aeromatic and --kinda to my surprise, being an aeronotical nono-- got something that's actually flyable. I even managed one landing and take-off yesterday.
Well, that's right. It happened in that order :-) When I first tried loading the MD11, it appeared to initialize a few hundred feet above the ground, and then started tumbling down. The only way I could start the MD-11 was by using the --altitude=10000 option and then wait until it gained enough airspeed to recover from the stall.I looked through a few aircraft.xml and aircraft-set.xml files to see if there's something I did obviously wrong, but couldn't find anything apparent. Any thoughts, suggestions? I just started this excersise as a fun project, but now, I'm kinda hooked, would like to develop this little beast a bit further, and eventually contribute it back to the project.
