What's the status of FlightGear CVS? I suppose I should subscribe to the
cvslogs mailing list for a while! Have the old JSBSim files been removed?

I'll have some release notes available at some point. There are some
noticable differences with the new JSBSim code. Aircraft models will have to
be ported to the new format. There is a conversion utility that can be
obtained from JSBSim CVS (the one available for download is out of date at
the moment).

I've updated the JSBSim config file converter code. You can download it from
cvs like this (make sure it all appears on one line):

For developers,

cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jsbsim co -r
HEAD_LEGACY_1 JSBSim

For anonymous checkout (other users),

cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jsbsim login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/jsbsim co -r
HEAD_LEGACY_1 JSBSim

The converter is basically old JSBSim with some conversion output capability
added. You would invoke it as follows, e.g. for the B747 aircraft:

./jsbsim --convert --aircraft=B747

This assumes you are in the jsbsim root directory when you invoke the
command (the root directory is the same directory that the aircraft/,
engine/, and script/ subdirectories appear in). The converted file is output
to stdout, so you could redirect it to get a file:

./jsbsim --convert --aircraft=Concorde > newConcorde.xml

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Jon
