Revision 1.14  2000/04/10 18:09:41  curt
David Megginson made a few (mostly minor) mods to the LaRCsim files, and
it's now possible to choose the LaRCsim model at runtime, as in

  fgfs --aircraft=c172

or

  fgfs --aircraft=uiuc --aircraft-dir=Aircraft-uiuc/Boeing747

I did this so that I could play with the UIUC stuff without losing
Tony's C172 with its flaps, etc.  I did my best to respect the design
of the LaRCsim code by staying in C, making only minimal changes, and
not introducing any dependencies on the rest of FlightGear.  The
modified files are attached.

Revision 1.13  1999/12/13 20:43:41  curt
Updates from Tony.
