This class owns and contains the list of \URL[components]{FGFCSComponent.html} that define the control system for this aircraft. The config file for the aircraft contains a description of the control path that starts at an input or command and ends at an effector, e.g. an aerosurface. The FCS components which comprise the control laws for an axis are defined sequentially in the configuration file. For instance, for the X-15:
    < FLIGHT_CONTROL NAME="X-15 SAS">

    < COMPONENT NAME="Pitch Trim Sum" TYPE="SUMMER">
      ID            0
      INPUT        FG_ELEVATOR_CMD
      INPUT        FG_PITCH_TRIM_CMD
      CLIPTO       -1 1
    </COMPONENT>

    < COMPONENT NAME="Pitch Command Scale" TYPE="AEROSURFACE_SCALE">
      ID           1
      INPUT        0
      MIN         -50
      MAX          50
    </COMPONENT>

    < COMPONENT NAME="Pitch Gain 1" TYPE="PURE_GAIN">
      ID           2
      INPUT        1
      GAIN         -0.36
    </COMPONENT>

    < COMPONENT NAME="Pitch Scheduled Gain 1" TYPE="SCHEDULED_GAIN">
      ID           3
      INPUT        2
      GAIN         0.017
      SCHEDULED_BY FG_ELEVATOR_POS
      -0.35  -6.0
      -0.17  -3.0
       0.00  -2.0
       0.09  -3.0
       0.17  -5.0
       0.60 -12.0
    </COMPONENT>

    ... etc.
    
In the above case we can see the first few components of the pitch channel defined. The input to the first component, as can be seen in the "Pitch trim sum" component, is really the sum of two parameters: elevator command (from the stick - a pilot input), and pitch trim. The type of this component is "Summer". Its ID is 0 - the ID is used by other components to reference it. The next component created is an aerosurface scale component - a type of gain (see the LoadFCS() method for insight on how the various types of components map into the actual component classes). You can see the input of the "Pitch Command Scale" component takes "0" as input. When a number is specified as an input, it refers to the ID of another FCS component. In this case, ID 0 refers to the previously defined and discussed "Pitch Trim Sum" component. This continues until the final component for an axis when the OUTPUT keyword specifies where the output is supposed to go. See the individual components for more information on how they are mechanized. @author Jon S.
