Hi,
AndersG, Jester (Csaba Halász) and I discovered this morning that the
FlightGear version of JSBSim doesn't allow thrusters to be oriented.
This bug was fixed in JSBSim stand alone, but that fix has not yet been
ported to FGFS.
The attach patch will:
Fix FGThruster.cpp orient units so thrusters may be rotated.
Thanks,
Ron
