PC Flt Sims - Experimenting with flight dynamics
Looking for a bit of advice here.
As a learning/re-learning exercise, I'd like to be able to demonstrate the effects of changes to various S&C dervatives on the flight dynamics of models within MS Flight Sim 2002. FS2002 does have an Aircraft Editor facility within which flight dynamics characteristics can be varied at a very top level, i.e. changes to so-called pitch, roll and yaw stability, and then 'tested'. However, what I'd like to be able to do is experiment with changes to individual derivatives and then see what the effect is. I don't know if its possible to fiddle with FS2002 in this way - I'm expecting the answer to be 'no'. Alternatively, I'd like to know whether or not there are any other PC-based simulator packages or add-ons that I could use to do this sort of task - I'm no boffin, so it would have to have a fairly high-level interface. I guess the other option is to have my very own ASTRA Hawk or Calspan Learjet in the back yard......I wish!
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
