That's true of YASim, but not JSBSim which can take real, measured data if you have it. The problem with real data, of course, is that in general it lies (or doesn't make sense in isolation -- same deal), and at best isn't available in all regimes, or at all. The kind of fidelity you are asking for is a straw man. No simulator is going to provide it. You could just as easily point at a 40 million dollar military sim and say "it doesn't do this, this and this, so it's a toy!". If simulators could be perfect, pilots wouldn't train in real aircraft. If you have complaints, make them. If you want features, ask. Trolling like this (yes, this is trolling, even if you don't realize it) isn't helping anyone or anything. Basically, grow up. :) Andy _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
