Well that's no real problem, for me at least.  If however you ever get 
the time to work on the not-so-important parts of jsbsim, you might want 
to have a look at that.  It  might be better to be able to set all 
parameters through method calls and move XML parsing out of the core to 
some sort of helper class (that way you can have both for the price of 
one).  Of course you probably already know that much (since you have 
designed quite a nice simulator there) and have a pretty good reason (or 
at least excuse :) for doing it that way.  Oh well, keep up the good work,
