Hi,

Have you tried your FDM configuration in JSBSim/CVS standalone?
If it works there and not in FlightGear it could be that you need a later
JSBSim version than that (currently) in FlightGear (- the JSBSim in
FlightGear does not track JSBSim/CVS continuously, it is updated maybe once
a year). I don't think actuators have been changed in the meanwhile, though.

It might pay off to post your question to 
[email protected]
too, to get help from the JSBSim expert(s).. :)

FWIW it is possible but somewhat painful to pull the current JSBSim/CVS HEAD
into FlightGear/CVS on your own - and fortunately for you I have done that,
see the link in my signature for the patch. Note, though, that my merge is
less polished than the official ones and that you'll get my experimental
lighter than air support included.

Cheers,

Anders
