Hello;
I have been working on the JsbSim 0.9.13 open source flight dynamics projects for 4 weeks as a project member in a flight dynamics department. I have obtained the "*.sln" (microsoft visual studio projct file version) of the code from my department advisor. The code is compilable. After compiling the code, I started to try the given cases given in the reference manual (which is available at: http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/JSBSimReferenceManual.pdf ) After I wrote the necessary script files for case 2 (which are available on reference manual pages 82 - 86), the code cannot be read the script completely.
The error happens is that: "Found unexpected subsystem: external_reactions, exiting.". During debugging, I noticed that in lines 503-521 of code file "FGFDMexec.cpp", there exist no such component as "external_reactions". However, existence and use of this element is explained in section 3.1.6 of reference manual. Also , the definition and use of this component is not only missing in the code in "fgfdmexec.cpp", also related ".cpp" and ".h" files are also absent. Therefore, the provided "case study 2: Ball with parachute" example cannot be used for text purposes. Moreover, any sytem have external reactions is also cannot be defined.
Is there any available solution to this problem? Or do you have patch files for this error? The best solution, I think, the version of the source codes and files, that used in obtaining the outputs in the reference manual, can be sent via an email.
I will be very grateful if you reply...
It seems likely that you are running an old version of JSBSim.
Please check out the current development code from our CVS repository.
