AeromatiC++ is an attempt to make the outputted FDM from Aeromatic more detailed by Erik Hofman. It is made in C++, so it must be downloaded and run locally. | AeromatiC++ is an attempt to make the outputted FDM from Aeromatic more detailed by Erik Hofman.

The number of systems has been extended considerably. Every system adds its own lift, drag and/or side forces, and pitch, roll and/or yaw moments if selected. New and updated systems include: | |||
* Conventional controls (with or without yaw damper) | |||
* Flaps | |||
* Landing gear | |||
* Arrestor hook | |||
* Spoilers and speedbrakes | |||
* Thrust reverse | |||
* Drag chute and rescue chute | |||
* Catapult system | |||
Version 3.1.0 adds code that estimates CL<sub>de</sub>, CM<sub>a</sub>, CM<sub>adot</sub>, CM<sub>q</sub>, CM<sub>de</sub>, CY<sub>beta</sub>, Cn<sub>beta</sub>, Cn<sub>r</sub>, Cn<sub>dr</sub>, Cl<sub>beta</sub>, Cl<sub>r</sub> and Cl<sub>p</sub> based on wing geometry. There is now also support for the calculation of CL<sub>q</sub>, CL<sub>adot</sub>, CY<sub>p</sub>, CY<sub>r</sub>, CY<sub>dr</sub> and Cn<sub>p</sub> based on wing geometry which previous versions did not specify. After a request from Necolatis, the turbine engine tables are now adjusted for bypass ratio. | |||
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. | |||
The program is now part of [[JSBSim]] source repository, and is compiled as part of Flightgear nightlies for Win and Linux (but separate download). | The program is now part of [[JSBSim]] source repository, and is compiled as part of Flightgear nightlies for Win and Linux (but separate download). |
