the speed must be given) the spring constant

simulate the speed dependend lift of a float.

axis: Name of the control input (i.e. a property name)
value: Value of the control axis.
hitch: A hitch, can be used for winch-start (in gliders) or aerotow (in
gliders and motor aircrafts) or for external cargo with helicopter.
You can do aerotow over the net via multiplayer (see j3 and bocian
as an example).
name: the name of the hitch. must be aerotow if you want to do
aerotow via multiplayer. You will find many properties
at /sim/hitches/name. Most of them are directly tied to
the internal variables, you can modify them as you like.
You can add a listener to the property "broken", e. g. for
playing a sound.
x,y,z: The position of the hitch
force-is-calculated-by-other: if you want to simulate aerotowing
over the internet, set this value to "1" in the motor
aircraft. Don't specify or set this to zero in gliders.
In a LAN the time lag might be small enough to set it on
both aircrafts to "0". It's intended, that this is done
automatically in the future.
tow: The tow used for aerotow or winch. This must be a subelement
of an enclosing <hitch> tag.
length: unstreched length in m
weight-per-meter: in kg/m
elastic-constant: lower values give higher elasticity
break-force: in N
mp-auto-connect-period: the every x seconds a towed multiplayer
aircraft is searched. If found, this tow is connected
automatically, parameters are copied from the other
aircraft. Shoud be set only in the motor aircraft, not
in the glider
winch: The tow used for aerotow or winch. This must be a subelement
of an enclosing <hitch> tag.
max-tow-length:
min-tow-length:
initial-tow-length: all are in m. The initial tow length also
defines the length/search radius used for the mp-autoconnect
feature
max-winch-speed: in m/s
power: in kW
max-force: in N
rotor: A rotor. Used for simulating helicopters. You can have one, two
or even more.
There is a drawing of a rotor in the Doc-directory
