Following your findings, I have checked if `gamma` was already used in our models and there are only a few models that use it in their initial conditions: https://github.com/JSBSim-Team/jsbsim/blob/647510208c3e88ee9393b68351d591c09c2beecf/aircraft/737/cruise_init.xml#L9 https://github.com/JSBSim-Team/jsbsim/blob/647510208c3e88ee9393b68351d591c09c2beecf/aircraft/737/cruise_steady_turn_init.xml#L9...

As you may have noticed, I had to change yet another time the files ` aircraft/Short_S23/reset01.xml` and ` aircraft/Short_S23/reset02.xml` in commit c0b46aa74d19ad79aa91c551e4ed5ad548d55863 I tried adding `gamma = 0` but to...

Honestly, I don't know what `Messages`was designed for. @jonsberndt, any idea ? I can only find a pair of references to the methods `FGJSBBase::*Message`: https://github.com/JSBSim-Team/jsbsim/blob/0e842e751373f70ac927cef87a68a6e8fd1129df/src/models/FGLGear.cpp#L546-L551 https://github.com/JSBSim-Team/jsbsim/blob/0e842e751373f70ac927cef87a68a6e8fd1129df/src/models/FGLGear.cpp#L563-L568 Both of these occurrences...

You're perfectly correct in raising all these usage of the `static` keyword as needing some rework ! :+1: In most cases, the current design is bad and is a result...
