Work is already underway for version 3.10, which will greatly improves the approximation of most of the lift, side, roll, pitch and yaw coefficients.
Version 3.1.0 adds code that estimates CLde, Cma, CMadot, Cmq, Cmde, CYbeta, Cnbeta, Cnr, Cndr, Clbeta, Clr and Clp based on wing geometry.
 
Also CYp, CYr, CYdr and Cnp based on wing geometry was added which previous versions did not specify.
 
For this to work properly you have to provide factual data. Do not try to estimate it yourself. If some data is unknown leave it blank and AeromatiC++ will make it's own estimation or reverts to the table lookup method provided by David.
