Closing <code>&lt;sim&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;PropertyList&gt;</code> tags
==== Performance and Flight-planning ====
 
From FlightGear 2018.3.0 onwards, it's possible to include additional data to improve user feedback and flight-plan creation. Note this information lives under the top-level <code>aircraft</code> tag, not under <code>sim</code> as all the content above does.
