Orca is our "test pilot" program :D

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

and I've now built a model using Simon's data (amongst others) and I'm now announcing that I've built what seems to be a reasonable aerodynamics model for the Beagle Pup. The writeup and FDM is available at http://chateau-logic.com/content/using- ... flightgear

Included in the model are propeller effects and a linear damage model for the wings, horizontal and vertical tails.

As I've previously said this process is all about finding what produces the better results; once Simon has got his model into shape I plan to hack JSBSim apart so that I can get a matching set of coefficients out and plot both aerodynamics models on the same charts; as this (or flight traces) is the only real way to compare models.

I see this as being quite an important test; I've devoted a fair chunk of time to doing this simply because if it does work it opens up the possibilities that Simon has mentioned, such as coming up with a representative model without having to fudge things.

Just to be clear the only aerodynamic data in my FDM has come out of VSPAero (except for a slight increase in form drag); there has been no tweaking or tuning of any of the tables. If it spins then it is because of the aerodynamics.

Sweet. Is it GPL? I'll add it as a branch un fgmembers upon confirmation

Now that the weekend is over I'd like to upload my new pup flight model for you guys to experience... if I send someone a zip file could they upload it to the repository please

Regards

Simon

I can upload to the repo. Quick question: GPL?
