Hmmm, ok I suppose that is possible. I have done this with an external FAA
certified flight dynamics model, but I am letting the flightgear code
compute the final longitude and latitude and altitude and just passing that
over. This has worked as recently as 2 weeks ago. I don't know that I've
tried this with any internal FDM's recently though.
Can you give me an example that fails? This initial position code is a bit
complicated since it perhaps tries too hard to decide what you *want* based
on limited or missing inputs, but as far as I know it does work correctly.
Regards,
Curt.
