An excellent suggestion.
In the meantime,

If you compare this picture to the fgfs model, the one improvement that
will probably eventually get done is to change the intersection of the

Hi,
the winch start/aerotow patch for YASim is in cvs now.
Soon we will have a YASim glider (AJ is working on a bocian). If you
want to use the Sgs233, you can use the attached files (need to be
placed in data\Aircraft\sgs233). The config is not optimized to match
the performance of the reals

Title: Proposal: New external force capability for JSBSim
Dave Culp and I have been discussing the catapult and hook scheme for a while. That discussion has actually gone farther than that specific case, to planning for a capability that is a general one, for applying external forces to a JSB

You don't have to wait. The message is output immediately when the
error occurs, just like

Yes, the pilots I know all refrain from using Cessna's light RG
versions because:

don't leave it in the hangar.

Should be:

if (v != 0) {
gear_down = v;
}

Ah, don't worry, there is a solution -- involving a timer
rather than a listener -- that is adequate for this unusual
purpose. Not elegant, but adequate.

I'm always concerned about performance, but in this case I'd
use a "main loop" that runs all the time and does whatever
needs to be done. The bo105 has such a main loop that maintains
filter functions,

Joystick type should be a double not an int. doubles allow
