Can you give me some more information about the specifics of the patch you are talking about? Feel free to contact me via email, if needed. If you are referring to the patch I think you are referring to, I certainly agree that "the guy" knows what he is doing with respect to the solution of such a difficult modeling problem. If I recall correctly (and I'm not certain that I do - particularly today because I am home with a really nasty fever and cold) there was a lot of additional overhead and infrastructure that was needed to make it work, and it was a pretty large alteration of the existing JSBSim codebase. I may be recalling the wrong modification.
