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

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

Bertrand,

Sorry to bother you again, but could you send me a sample aircraft file
that would work with the Standalone JSBSim?  I copied one from the fgfs
files and I get the same message about incompatible file type, so I need a
sample that will run on my windows laptop, just to find out what I need to
do.  Probably the simplest possible one, although I would like one for a
Bombardier 700 or so eventually.

thank you,

Rex
