With all due respect to Gary Neeley, "Contrast this with JSBSim which relies on pre-generated tabular data to build up the flight model." is not an accurate statement of JSBSim's functionality. JSBSim can use any formula the designer wants to use to specify flight, there is no constraint to pre-generate any tabular data at all. While the commonly used Aeromatic model doesn't do much in the way of physically modeling the aircraft, the framework is in place to generate models based on data similar to the data commonly used in YASim, at least aerodynamically.
