The greatest problem i can see is that there's no wget equivalent for Windows, or tools to parse strings from a file, inbuilt in the shell. That's why I was mentioning python: it's easier to get working on Windows and these tools are part of the standard library. On linux, of course, you can

BTW, you can get a pretty good idea of where the CG is on a plane from the landing gear position. On a tail dragger the CG will be slightly behind the main wheel. Too far back and the tail won't have enough authority to lift for takeoff, too far forward and the plane will nose over when

The simplest way is to edit that line of code and compile FGFS. After 2.4 is out this might get implemented by the committers, and then you could grab a precompiled binary from the Hudson/Jenkins automatic build system. In any case a little patience seems to be the only essential requirement.
