First, about using FGAccelerations::GetUVWdot as acceleration, i'm not sure you will have what you want. i'm trying to do (slowly) something about the lag ( http://wiki.flightgear.org/Mp-patch ), and i tried to use UVWdot, but seems to me it give the dérivative of the speed in the aircraft reference, not "the acceleration in ECEF, expressed in body coordinate". if the speed vector is stable/aircraft, UVWdot will be 0, but the the body acceleration can be huge in inertial referential. (that's how i understand the effect i see, and the UVWdot props variation in constant g turns, i didn't went to understand the jsbsim code ;) second, could it be possible to have a look at other fdm properties wich are inconsistent between yasim and jsbsim ? i think of velocity_wind_body (maybe a "velocity_body" is needed) (bug 202) and bug 901 (orientation/side-slip-deg) chears jano ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
