 A new glider, the [[Glaser-Dirks DG-101G|DG-101G]] from Glaser-Dirks, has been added to Git. It utilizes a [[JSBSim]] FDM, tuned with data calculated with XFLR5. This model features winch start, aerotowing, a drag robot, water ballast and [[livery over MP]].

-Work on the BK117 helicopter has been started. The BK117 is a twin-engined medium utility–transport helicopter, produced in a coproduction between MBB/Eurocopter and Kawasaki. It uses the same rigid rotor system like Bo105, but is larger in size and has more power.
-It is quite common in the world and very often used by emergency services and law enforcements.
-The model features a realistic FlightDynamicModel based and calculated from NASA-reports, a detailed 3d-model with normalmap and reflection shaders, detailed rotor (thanks to Melchior!) and will be dynamically configurable in many variants.
-It is planned to make it realistic as it can be and good or even better than the Ec130 B4.
-Next steps are the interior modeling with a detailed 3d-cockpit.
-Please follow the process in [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11431#p118700 the forum].
