Better 3D models, including control surfaces
Easy comparison of baseline coefficients
Pictures of airfoil and fuselage cross-section
Better integration with JSBSim
Example of JSBSim flight test maneuvers

Broader range of examples
Better documentation, including info on building your own models
Hundreds of hours have been spent on creating the Datcom+ Pro package, and many more hours will be spent in the future on upgrades to this package. As a registered user, you will be entitled to free upgrades to any Datcom+ Pro version 3.0 upgrades.
The following upgrades are planned for Datcom+ Pro version 3.0 (although not guaranteed):
Rudders and twin vertical stabilizers
More flight test scripts
More example aircraft, including F-16 and A-380
Propulsion (propellor and jet) effects and ground effects on coefficients
Gear effects
Flap interactions on tail
Possibily even a GUI
Moveable control surfaces in the AC3D model, if possible
Better modeling for JSBSim models
More documentation
Interfaces to FlightGear and OpenEaagle, to allow you to fly with a joystick
