JSBSim is an open source flight dynamics model. It works with many operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, Linux, IRIX, Cygwin (Unix on Windows), etc. Website found here: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/index.html
If it was enabled in the vanillia game, the current flight model could exist as easy difficulty for new players.
Features include:
Fully configurable flight control system, aerodynamics, propulsion, landing gear arrangement, etc. through XML-based text file format.
Rotational earth effects on the equations of motion (coriolis and centrifugal acceleration modeled).
Configurable data output formats to screen, file, socket, or any combination of those.
i am 100% sure there is no time nor resources to use that.
Also, i never trust JSBS, they try to look realistic, but at the end they are pretty arcadish.
JSBsim is a less difficult flight model to add and can provide a realistic flight model that would be a million times better than the current ones.
@Dr_Death Can you provide examples to back up your claims?
Examples to what? to my opinion?
I think the only time i could test JSBs. at its full potential was with FlightGear.
Disliked the results.
Thank you progamer for this request !
It is SO horrible to see how helicopter and airplane are flying.
I hope it will be in futur release ( also developper told use that they would use TOH flight model for helicopter ... and helicopter still unrealistic :( )
Developers told us many things wich didn't made it, 3D mission editor, loadout editor, realistic TOH flight controls, fastropes with Physx, etc.
