I just looked at our 707 and discovered it still has JSBSim 1.6 config files. It also has a dependency on the 737 which was renamed to 737-300.
I took the liberty of updating the fdm files: 707.xml Engines/JT3D and the set file 707-set.xml The FDM and Engine files are straight conversions. I see some opportunity for improvements: engine locations are obviously wrong, fuel tanks look wrong, needs advanced nose wheel steering, but figured that could wait. In addition to fixing the 737 -> 737-300 issue in the set file, I changed the view[1] distance to -50 meters, it was set to -12 which was still inside the fuselage. I also removed ATC and AI settings which, IMHO, don't belong in an aircraft -set file. I am attaching the changes to the -set file as both a complete file and a diff file. The changes to the engine and FDM are so sweeping a diff file would be useless so I'm only attaching the new files. Would some one please apply these changes to CVS? Thanks, Ron
