Version: SU2 beta 1.4.7.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Blocker

Context: debug aircraft sim forces

Bug description: new sections [OBJ_AIRGEO_VTAIL.N] [OBJ_AIRGEO_HTAIL.N] in Flight_model.cfg, not reading parameters as detailed. Instead reading some parameters from [Fuselage_aerodynamics] section.

Since that section is not even documented yet I could imagine that Asobo is still working on it. So if somone from Asobo is reading this, please try to provide us with a documentation as soon as possible. These are the new aspects end users have been looking forward to for months now.
But if they´re not documented properly we cannot start working on it or with severe inefficiency and frustrated customers on top.

It is in the SDK documents as of the latest version

There seems to be some browser issue for me, using your link I can access the latest documentation, however if I navigate to the section myself it´s still empty

When you click the link, go to ‘introduction’ then ‘release notes’. Is it Version 1.3.1?
If it isn’t, then in the sim, in dev mode open the online documentation. Or download the offline SDK

yea, using your link it works, if I use my general link to the sdk documentation or google msfs 24 sdk documetation it is still at 1.2.4, not sure why the page is not updating properly

Probably a browser cache thing…

I have just tried to delete the cache but it is still at 1.2.4, something is off with chrome
