=== AeromatiC++ 3.0 released === | |||
Most [[JSBSim]] aircraft developers probably know about [[Aeromatic]], a web-based configuration file generator for JSBSim. In the past month, AeromatiC++ was created using the PHP code from Aeromatic2. AeromatiC++ is a flexible 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. Support has also been added for the electric engine. | |||
The number of systems has been extended considerably. New systems supported include: | |||
* Conventional controls (with or without yaw damper) | * Conventional controls (with or without yaw damper) | ||
