No, not really.  You've not mentioned the Beaver, Hunter, Seahawk, Spitfire, 
Seafire, Hurricane, P51 and who knows how many others.  Complaining that 
aircraft are mostly incomplete is not in the least bit helpful - if you think 
one of the FG planes is missing something (which, granted plenty of them are) 
then you are free to do something about it, like creating instruments or 
whatever for them.  That's the _whole point_ of open source software - if you 
want to improve something, all you need to do so is there waiting for you.

Yes, it requires a bit of effort - a lot, even.  But if other people hadn't 
spent countless hours of their time putting in that effort, you wouldn't have 
anything to fly at all.  Have a good look at the way these planes are put 
together - read the documentation which comes with FG, get yourself a copy of 
the Gimp, AC3D or Blender and enjoy the satisfaction of providing whatever 
you think is lacking in these planes...

OK, there's a problem when flying overspeed with the Citation.  Nothing is 
stopping you from putting together an alternative FDM using say JSBSim...

I do mean all this in the most constructive of ways - your attitude is very 
common amongst people who are just starting to dabble with open source stuff, 
and I honestly hope that you get stuck in and help out.

Cheers,

AJ
