Optimizations

• reduce amount of duplicated code (prop/jet)
• remove unused code (moved to folder 'Unused')
• fix jet version issues

@HHS81: Let me know if you like this approach. I don't have a problem if you want to shift some properties back to the set.xml files but I think with this common.xml file the aircraft is easier to maintain.

[HHS81]

I think this really good, and a common approach.

I also removed the custom flight-recorder. In my opinion the default one is fine or what was the reason for a custom one? To remove the bouncing of jet version after replay I replaced the jet fdm with the prop one (other engines of course). I will figure out where I must do adjustments (e.g. weights).

[xcvb85]

I deactivated lightmap.nas. Maybe there is a way to replace this with xml which could have a better performance. If not I will re-enable it.

[HHS81]

flight-recorder: does the nose-wheel turn in replay?

Bouncing: I have new gear parameters in the pipeline, but not yet completely tested

lightmap.nas: I' m not sure if there is a way to replace by pure xml

flight-recorder:does the wing flex in replay?

[xcvb85]

Does this wing flex work? I have never seen this.

[HHS81]

It does, they flex (look at the lights on ground and in flight) but won't bounce. Like in reality.

[xcvb85]

Does not work 😢

[HHS81]

In replay or when running? I'm a bit confused now which state we are discussing

[xcvb85]

Both. Here are my screenshots:

[HHS81]

I can see wing-flex in both pictures. Just look where the navlights are in flight and on ground. (An own issue I know ). Everything allright then.

[xcvb85]

Sorry my fault. Ideed this is really cool 👍

[xcvb85]

The reason was that I used Flightgear 3.4 which is not affected by all these jsbsim turboprop bugs. But in 3.4 /fdm/jsbsim/forces/fbz-aero-lbs is wrong.

To remove the bouncing of jet version after replay I replaced the jet fdm with the prop one (other engines of course). I will figure out where I must do adjustments (e.g. weights).

You need just to replace the aerodynamics section, and gear section from the prop version, everything else of the file can be kept. But before please see Issue #68

Anyway: it seems I have found something I looked for a long time- aerodynamic coefficients for the Dornier 328, so the fdm will maybe change soon or later.
