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

[Bertrand C. <bco...@gm...>]

You can download a copy of all files from FlightGear's Jenkins
http://build.flightgear.org:8080/job/JSBSim-win/ws/*zip*/JSBSim-win.zip

There you will get the JSBSim executable in the archive under
JSBSim-win/build/src/Debug.
All the files (aircraft, engines, etc.) are located in the archive under
JSBSim-win/source
