+-- AeromatiC++ 3.0 --
+Most JSBSim aircraft developers probably know Aeromatic, a web based configuration file generator for JSBSim. In the past moth AeromatiC++ was created using the PHP code from Aeromatic2. AeromatiC++ is flexible a command line utility which, like Aeromatic2, can create JSBSim configuration files based an a minimal set of input variables. But AeromatiC++ is much more flexible by design which allows it to create appropriate subdirectories, engines and thruster files but also Systems files.
+Engines now have code to reasonably guess the fuel consumption based on a minimal number of inputs. The turboprop engine is now transformed from a turbine simulated turboprop configuration to a true JSBSim turboprop engine with propeller. And support was added for the Electric Engine.
+Also the number of Systems is extended considerably, supported are: Conventional Controls and Conventional Controls with Yaw Damper, Flaps, Landing Gear, Arrestor Hook, Spoilers and Speedbrakes, Thrust Reverse, Drag chute and Rescue chute and a Catapult system.
+Every system adds it's own lift, drag and/or side force and pitch, roll and/or yaw moments if selected.
