Hello all,
I recall there was a time, maybe 15 years ago, when Gerard Robin (grtux) developed some crash animation for his models. This crash animation required the model to continue to run even after it struck the ground. Because of this (if I remember correctly) crash detection was left out of JSBSim. The problem we were left with is that after a model crashes the FDM can generate some galactic level forces which spreads NaN's everywhere. Some questions:
1. Is any of this crash animation code still in use?
2. Is there any other reason not to add crash detection (followed by FDM suspension) to JSBSim?
Thanks,
Dave Culp
