Weight is relative to the local acceleration value. JSBSim hopes to model flight outside of earth only. The FDM cares internally only about mass and the local acceleration value - which varies with altitude. The GUI can make this invisible to the user. > Version 0.9.5 of fgfs shows a menue entry EQUIPEMENT -> FUEL AND PAYLOAD > The entry only works for yasim-fdm and I tried to find a way to make it > working for jsbsim also > > Hans-Georg Ahhhh.
