From the beginning the JSBSim program was used for FDM, this allowed us to obtain a high dynamic fidelity, but also reduce the need to use NASAL for many system functions. In the development it was verified that [[Howto_talk:Methods_to_replace_the_NASAL_code_with_JSBSim_code|JSBSim is much more productive than NASAL]] especially for the parts that operate in real-time regime. The reason is mainly due to the poor documentation of NASAL and to its lack of adequate debugging support. JSBSim is a functional 'data driven' language written in XML that makes it more difficult to make errors of a logical nature and this was an important aspect of realizing good code.

==Teachings==
==Manuals==
 
In this section I report a series of manuals on some gauges used in this project. The manuals have been separated from the FIAT G91R1B wiki card as they refer to instruments also used by other aircraft in the 50s-70s of the last century.
 
===Navigation Gauges===
 
[[PHI - Position and Homing Indicator]]<BR>When you look at the cockpit of the G91 (but also of the F104) you can see in the center at the top a very particular instrument, particularly large and with 4 knobs on the sides. That instrument was one of the first navigation systems that used Doppler radar to determine ground speed.
 
==Project Teachings==


I believe that this project can teach a lot to those who want to try and build high-fidelity aircraft. I think it is useful to list some points that may be useful for other authors:
