===Command Line===
By use of a standard command line, we can see what the YASim solver is calculating. First, open up a command line prompt, and enter in the location of YASim.exe, and then the location of the YASim xml file. For example, here's what you would type in for a standard Windows 32-bit installation, and viewing the [[Boeing 777-200ER]]'s YASim file.
<code>"C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\Win32\yasim.exe" "C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Aircraft\777-200\777-200ER.xml"</code>
The quotes around the paths are required because of the spaces in the path names. Some other options can be used, but they are not needed for normal testing.
The results will give many different values.
*'''Drag Coefficient:''' The drag coefficient of the aircraft.
*'''Lift Ratio:''' The lift ratio of the aircraft.
*'''Cruise AoA:''' The cruise AoA, from conditions at <[[YASim#cruise|cruise]]> in the xml file.
*'''Tail Incidence:''' The incidence angle of the tail, "solved" by YASim as a way to stabilize the aircraft.
*'''Approach Elevator:''' The approach elevator, from conditions at <[[YASim#approach|approach]]> in the xml file.
*'''CG:''' Center of gravity of the aircraft in coordinates. Unless it's supposed to be offset, it should always have a Y value of 0.
