=== YASim 2.0 development ===
[[File:Yasim-forces-with-sections.jpg|thumb|Canvas showing yasim internals. CG green, correct MAC calculation using wing sections.]]
'''YASim development tools''' is a set of tools created by forum's user D-JSB. (Note that JSB is related to the user name not with the other FDM that FlightGear can use).
D-JSB is working hard improving the YASim FDM system to the next level.
His first approach to this work is coming canned as FGADDON. This first tool shows crucial information on run-time of a YASim FDM over a canvas screen. Masses and forces are shown. CG Center of Gravity and MAC Mean Aerodynamic Chord have now their own indicators.
* This project has a dedicated space in the wiki [[YASim_Development_Tools]]
* A forum thread for more details at https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=33852<br />
* And belongs to the category [[http://wiki.flightgear.org/Category:FlightGear_add-ons| FlightGear Add-ons]]
