Re: [Jsbsim-users] Startup problem -- finding the script file

[Rex du P. <rex...@gm...>]

Bertrand,

I tried to download the windows verison of JSBSim, but none of the aircraft
files came thorugh.

I would assume that they are the same as those that come from the
Flightgear site?

I thought I would see if I could run a standalone JSBSim on my windows
laptop as a trial, but that is not working either.

Where are you in France.  My descendants are largely there, but currently
scattered around the world.  One grandson 9and family) live in Angers.
One granddaughter in Paris, one coming back from Africa -- maybe to Pau.

Is there a linux version of the code that I could get from your site, or
should I stick with the full fgfs stuff?  I will need to modify, at least,
the Network part to accept our external input.

I will set up a file system as you suggest and try one of the other
aircraft.

Thank you for being so helpful.  I had not worked on this for close to ten
years and am trying to get back into the new verison (which is much better).

Rex
