Hello Jon !
Of course I have.
But so far, I havent had the possibility of testing it in a simulator
because I dont have a flight simulator aircraft construction tool. :(
It would be great to test it that way, I already thought about it.
I have read some info about FLIGHT GEAR quite a while ago.
Do you think it will be sufficient for that task ?
I don't know about the current development stage though.
Thx for  your comments/ideas !
Jens
