 ===JSBSim updates===
 * '''Arbitrary Functions in Engine (and other) Models:''' [[JSBSim]] now has the ability to have functions embedded in engine configurations. These functions look the same as the main configuration functions and can run before (pre) or after (post) the main code. They are handy for keeping engine controlling functions organized with the engines they're supposed to be controlling. There is also a wild-card available in the property tag, like this:  &lt;p&gt;propulsion/engine[#]/thrust-lbs&lt;/p&gt;
-* '''Experimental Rotor Model:''' Thomas Kreitler created a rotor model in JSBSim, so its now possible to model helicopters in that FDM, too. His first experimental helicopter is the AH-1S. This model isn't in FlightGear's GIT, yet, but you can find it in [http://gitorious.org/jsbsim/jsbsim JSBSim stand-alone] if you'd like to experiment with it.

 * '''Cooling Support for Piston Engine Model:''' JSBSim's piston engine model took another step forward in realism by exposing properties to control engine cooling.
