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.

YASim

Point acknowledged. The quote was from my old YASim guide from some years back when my understanding was weaker than I hope it is now. The quote was used without my knowledge, and though I don't object, I might have suggested that it is not the best appraisal of either YASim or JSBsim.

The original statement, while not accurate, was actually meant to promote the flexibility and power of JSBsim rather than imply any limitations or reasons not to use JSBsim. I hope this addresses any possible misunderstanding as to the purpose of my original writing.
