The first question is pretty easy, you can't fly without a flight model. If you are just working on the visual model, ufo is fine. To get an airplane flying look at YASim or JSBsim. www.jsbsim.org/aeromatic.html is a good place to start. You could also steal an existing flight model and adapt it to your uses. As to the second question, does $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/QSMX/Models/QSMX.xml exist? If so, what does it contain?
