New in 0.9.1
* December 5, 2002
* Fixes a problem with a missing file in the source distribution of 0.9.0
* Updates to AI aircraft subsystem (this is a work in progress)
* Added a canned ATC voice handling class (using prerecorded voice snippets.)
* Added voice ATIS
New in 0.9.0
* December 3, 2002
* Support for fully animated, fully clickable 3d instrument panels.
* Support for runway, approach, and taxiway lighting. Lighting is
directional and intensity varies smoothly with relative view
direction.
* Many new and updated aircraft.
* Improved runway textures.
* Some improved terrain textures.
* Added a util called terrasync to runtime fetch just the scenery you
need from the master scenery server as you fly. No need to
pre-download large chunks of data.
* Add a vacuum system and support for it's failure.
* Add a pitot system and support for it's failure.
* Model gyro spin for various instruments.
* Added support for modeling complex aircraft electrical system. Sample
implimentation for a C172, simplistic electrical model provided for
other aircraft until their specific system is modeled.
* Added a "presets" section to the GUI.
* Localization support for GUI and for command line option help, including
the ability to specify a custom per language font.
* Support for specifying an initial startup runway.
* Splash screen now slowly fades out revealing the ready to run sim.
* Support additional joysticks: Logitech WingMan Force,
Logitech WingMan Extreme Digital 3D (USB), and Saitek Cyborg Gold 3D USB,
CH Virtual Pilot USB/USB CH Pedals,
* Many updates to External/Network FDM interface.
* Many updates to the JSBSim FDM model code.
* Many updates from the UIUC folk to their FDM package.
* Many updates to the YASim FDM model code (fuel usage, tunable
induced drag parameter, better gear tuning, fix a ground effect bug,
and a standalone config file compiler.
* Make rotational rate FDM values available in the property tree.
* Fix a subtle bug in the ssg partial tree deleter code.
* Started a new XML configurable GUI subsystem.
* Some preliminary support for AI driven aircraft.
* Fix ILS back course needle deflection.
* Fix for ATI driver "issue" causing instrument panels to be all gray.
* Support for toggling 3d instrument hotspot visibility (debugging/learning
tool.)
* Tweaks to instrument panel night lighting.
* Added a per engine fuel pump switch.
* NOMINMAX fix for cygwin/gcc-3.2
* Renamed External FDM to NullFDM
* New module/submodule system.
* IRIX build fixes
* Restructured some of the initialization code to facilitate reseting the sim
to alternate presets (airport, runway, offset distance, altitude, speed, etc.)
* Fixed DG heading bug hold to work with new instrumentation updates.
* Updates to autopilot to let it work with perfect values as a compile time
option.
* Split Nav/Com units, and DME out into their own source files.
* Fixes to support newer versions of plib/cvs
New in 0.8.0
* September 7, 2002

The 1903 Wright Flyer was inspired by a model contributed by Paul
Beardsley. Very little of the original model remains, but without
Paul's excellent work we might not have our own 1903 Flyer. Model
was reworked and retextured by Jim Wilson.
Jon S. Berndt <jon@jsbsim.org>
Chief architect of JSBSim, the default flight dynamics model (FDM)
for FlightGear. Jon's professional work has involved simulation and
prototyping for vehicles ranging from the F-16 to his current work
on the space shuttle and future manned launch vehicles. Since 1998
Jon has been working on creating JSBSim together with co-author Tony
Peden. JSBSim is an object-oriented, multi-platform aerospace
vehicle simulator that can be integrated with broader flight
simulation programs (since it provides no visual model), or run in a
standalone mode for batch runs. For more information, see the JSBSim
