Development status/Issues/Todo
FDM
- Currently only the winged phase of a flight is modeled. Landing (with parachute) and jump (folded wings) are yet to be developed.
- Jet engines are close to, but not releastic yet.
3D Model
- The model is basically finished; details (like belts and better helmet) will be added later on.
- Parachute is not modeled yet.
