One more "job hat" response: good that you have tests. Without tests,
change will always be scary. It doesn't have to be. Yes, they take
time to write, perhaps more time than the code itself, but the
alternative is even worse. Tests are an executable specification.
As for the move from C to C++...
I should mention that the code in question is being rewritten, anyhow - and we
have a good set of regression tests already.

Hello everyone,
several days ago, I posted on the FlightGear forum a message to

As I said, it is still needed to own Fly! II to have Fly! Legacy
