Off the top of my head, I believe selecting reinit from the file menu causes the instance of the FDM class to be deleted and re-created. This means that it reloads the parameter file and recomputes a solution. That seems like a decent middle of the road solution. You make your fdm changes in a

Although it's worth pointing out that the command line yasim program goes a long way toward reducing the tedium involved with getting an aircraft in the air. Most of the big configuration bugs can be found and fixed before you ever run fgfs, although admittedly interpreting the solution
