You've been busy this weekend, it's always nice to see the range of
aircraft increasing. I'm still on my way to making the CVS work (I'm
very busy here), when I do it'll be great to have a go with all these
aircraft. If I'm lucky I might get something done on the spitfire model
today...

Hi Michael,
What a great addition to the fleet! Beautiful 3D model too. Would you or

Thank you very much. It might be a good idea in the future to put 3D
models directly into Aircraft/*/Models/ rather than
Aircraft/*/Models/uiuc/, since 3D models are usable by all FDMs (all
four major ones use the same C172 model, for example).

for the chase view is always in relation to the FDM location. And in
the case of Yasim that location is always the nose.
Oh, good point. This will create problems for view direction

I had to remove a declaration of memrchr from simgear/metar/Local.h to

It seems silly to have the brake key slam on full braking power, if it
is to be used on the runway. No wonder the aircraft tend to tip over or
burst their tyres. Can I recommend this patch which sets the all
brakes strength to 0.5 and the individual left/right to 0.7?

Are major taxiways such as the one parallel to the rwy that

The yellow line is where your nosewheel is supposed to be. That said,
