# Simple Brake Simulation System
# 2010, Thorsten Brehm
#
# Simple simulation of brake energy absorption and cooling effects.
#
# This module computes (approximates... :-) ) an energy level which
# (faintly) resembles the kinetic energy absorption and cooling effects
# of a brake system. But instead of computing real temperatures, this
# is just meant to distinguish normal energy levels from exceptionally
# high levels. The target is to drive EICAS "brakes overheat" messages
# and gear effects only, to "reward" pilots with exceptionally bad
# landings...
#
# To avoid complicated calculations of different braking effects (roll/air
# drag, reverse thrust etc), we simply assume the brake system to cause a
# fixed deceleration (me.BrakeDecel). With this deceleration we approximate
# the speed difference which would be caused by the brake system alone for
# any given simulation interval. The difference of the kinetic energy level
# at the current speed and the decelerated speed are then added up to the
# total absorbed brake energy.
# Units (knots/lbs/Kg) do not matter much here. Eventually a magic scaling
# divisor is used to scale the output level. Any output > 1 means
# "overheated brakes", any level <=1 means "brake temperature OK".
# No exact science here - but good enough for now :-).
