I've set up the VC view for the YF-23 and this required some small changes
to the model - the canopy hoop was too wide, so I had to narrow it a bit,
and I also had to make some of the cockpit surround parts double-sided as
there were some gaps when looking out.  The pilot's also de-selected when
in view 0.

I've tweaked the YF-23 fdm a little as well, using the control input
scaling feature so I could increase the lift and drag of the ailerons.
This is so that they more closely match the flap characteristics and
improve the speed-brake stability (well, that's the theory;)

I've also used the scaling feature to tweak the anti-roll input fed into
the ailerons when the rudder control input is used - it's still not
perfect but using rudder input now produces less roll and is easier to
control.

Oh, and it goes faster too:)  Infact, at lowish level (2000ft) the max
speed I could get out of it, without reheat, was 1.39 Mach, which
compares well with the figure I found of 1.4 Mach (although the alt
wasn't given).  The performance figures I've put into the fdm are
actually at the service ceiling of 55000ft (about 1.9 Mach with reheat).
