@ -- there are open source flight dynamics engines intended for games that are available on sourceforge-- one of these could be used to improve the JK Flight dynamics.

Here's just one example of a flight dynamics model engine:

Could also export a Matlab 6-DOF flight dynamics model as standalone C code... this would give us full control over the flight dynamics input & output signals that would be needed to tie into the OpenJK code-- could probably just append the necessary 6-DOF flight dynamics/control matrices in the vehicle file.

Just got home from vacation a few hours ago-- Hawaii was a blast!  So I just finished installing X-Wing Alliance on my Windows XP x64 workstation following the MODdb guidance... next step is to install the actual model upgrades and tools...
