It would also be easy for a group to work together on without stepping on each others toes while sharing their experience and learning.  Plus I think it would form a good way "in" to the code, so there's lots of opportunity to learn about specific areas of interest.

Right, for example setting up some tests of specific parts of JSBsim inside FG would be good, witness the bug report from Josh earlier today.

That will avoid touching any graphical complexities - you need to figure out how to load a partial JSBsim aero or system file, and run some tests against it (likely by setting properties and running update - which we have examples of in the instrument tests already)

Specifically for the PLIB replacement work, it’s not very amenable to just jumping in right now, although I I will be working on it again post the 2020.2 LTS

Kind regards,
