Silent Wings simulates the flight physics by integrating forces acting on the aircraft mass over time.

There are two kinds of forces acting on the aircraft: aerodynamic forces and landing gear/hardpoint forces. So to set up a complete physics model, you need to define the aircraft mass properties, the landing gear, and the aerodynamic model.


mass.dat

gear.dat

aero.dat

engine.dat

The aircraft must also be controlled. The controller properties are set in the controls.dat file.
