Most of the development, including discussions, take place at githib 
these days: https://github.com/JSBSim-Team

It would not have been my first choice but what can you do.

In addition to what Bill described (DATCOM+ which is a really powerful 
tool) there is also AeromatiC++ which is a small command-line tool to 
create JSBSim configuration files from a small set of parameters.

Of course this will never reach the accuracy of DATCOM+  but depending 
on your requirements it might be good enough. At least for a start:
