4. Submodels can be ensted to any depth, thus a submodel on expiry or impact etc,
can launch a child submodel, which in turn can launch a submodel. and so on. This
is the basis for Persistent Contrails, but any use is possible.
The initial conditions (IC) define the object's starting point (relative
to the user aircraft's "reported position"), and its initial speed and
direction (relative to the user aircraft). If you want to release many

<count> Number of submodels available for multiple release.
-1 defines an unlimited number.

<slaved> If true, the submodel is slaved to the parent model.
<x-offset> Submodel's initial fore/aft position (in feet), relative to user aircraft. Fore is positive.
<y-offset> Submodel's initial left/right position (in feet), relative to user aircraft. Right is positive.
<z-offset> Submodel's initial up/down position (in feet), relative to user aircraft. Up is positive.
<yaw-offset> Submodel's initial azimuth, in degrees, relative to user
aircraft'snose. Right is positive.

Default is 900.0.

For example, if set to 32 the submodel will feel no
gravity. If greater than 32 the object will rise.

<weight> The weight of the submodel (lbs). NOT set to 0 on submodel release. You may wish to set this value to 0 by means of key bindings or Nasal script.
Defaults to 0.25.
<contents> The path to the contents of a submodel. The contents must be in lbs. Intended for use with drop tanks. The property value will be set to 0 on release of the submodel: do not also set to 0 elsewhere e.g. in key bindings. Defaults to 0.

Defaults to 0.5.
<no-roll> If true the submodel does not roll.
<impact> If true, the impact location (lat/lon) on the terrain is calculated. The Material (e.g Grass)of the terrain, load resistance, impact velocity and energy are returned. Altitude agl is calculated.
<impact-reports> Defines a report node. When an impact happens, then the path of the submodel will be written to this node. An attached listener function can evaluate the impact properties. If unset, reports go to /ai/models/model-impact.
<impact> If true, the impact location (lat/lon) on the terrain is calculated. The Material
(e.g Grass)of the terrain, load resistance, and impact velocity. Altitude agl is calculated.
<collision> If true, collisions with other objects is tested. If a collision is detected then
the position data are written to the "Report Node".
<fuze-range> Used in detecting collisions. The distance in feet between an object and a submodel
at which a collision is deemed to have occurred.
<expiry> If true, the current position of the submodel is written to the "Report Node" when the submodel life expires.
<impact-reports> Defines a "Report Node". When an impact happens, then the path of the submodel will be written to this node.
An attached listener function can evaluate the impact properties. If unset,
