yeah, that's what i was looking at... i'm thinking that it is possible for the xml to load a file called, for example, mycraft.FDM.yasim where ".yasim" is the extension instead of xml... the problem is to find them... my initial gut reaction was along the lines of "we made the list so you can use it to download a hand full of the listed craft to test with"... but that seemed rather rude... i don't know if archiving all the xmls will provide jsb with what he's looking for... especially if someone did something like i give as an example... i do think having the craft for testing yasim as well as testing the changes in the sim is a GoodThing<tm>...
on the others, true... i know there's the aero file used for jsbsim and larcsim... i'm not sure about others... the UFO might have similar but i think it is all coded in the craft instead of using C/C++ space... i wanted to use it in another craft and found it easier to start with a copy of the UFO and then change out the craft ac file... but there's a lot in the UFO that isn't needed in other craft just to be able to use the UFO FDM... it might be even better to start with a copy of the bluebird and then switch out the craft model... i dunno... it is just a li'l side project i've been toying with... back to the aero file, i don't think/know if yasim uses one... i haven't seen such in the few craft i've looked at over time...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
