makes ground handling more realistic -- the tail comes off earlier due
to stability effects, and the extra aerodynamic stability (and the
extended rudder arm) makes the aircraft more controllable and less
likely to ground loop.
I just checked in YASim changes that allow for more cleaner export of
control output to the property tree (and flaps now extend slowly now,
to boot). But this breaks the XML syntax in an incompatible way, so
you'll need to update your planes in order to run the code in CVS.
