- Changed properties name in the XML: radardist -> radar-performance.
- Corrected spelling of data.
- Shortened the init message.
This doesn' change the way to call radardist.nas functions.
"I have been working with Torsten Dryer to model
these three autopilots that are very common in aircraft manufactured in
the 1960s through the late 1980s. The Altimatic IIIc in the SenecaII is
a variation on the Century III and uses the same nasal model."
mf: these should be in cvs since a while; somehow I missed them, sorry
- in replay mode
- when trying to raise the flaps, but they are already fullly up
- when trying to retrace the gear, but it is already retracted
more cleanup later ... much later :-)
- Automatic pitch trim (use autopilot/KAP140/settings/auto-pitch-trim to turn
on/off)
- Aural altitude alerter. Uses the same sound file as the stall warning.
- Replace custom flasher routines with nasal aircraft.light objects.
- Cleanup.
"This patch allows all the AC using the kap140 to use one kap140.nas
which includes Roy's move to "bool" values as well as the check for
power used by the pa24-250." (dp)
includes Instruments/fuel.xml. And *that* one creates tank[0] and tank[1]
for *all* aircraft, which is quite annoying. A generic panel should display
fuel numerically (like Lee's panels do) or as %.
aar.nas disables $FG_ROOT/Nasal/fuel.nas' main loop, as it should be able
to fully replace it. Ideally, there would be no aar.nas at all, and fuel.nas
would do the job for YASim & JSBSim. Unfortunately, there's a problem with
fuel.nas that's not easy to fix ...
far as this supports air refueling at all)
- make listeners keep variables up-to-date (for better performance)
- remove the ugly initialization stuff in the main loop, but wait in
an extra loop for the FDM to come up
This script works now with the a4f, too. The vulcan2 is *supposed* to
work, but there's apparently a bug in it that prevents it.
/systems/refuel/contact is correcly set, and that should be enough for it.
I have implemented a Honeywell MK VIII EGPWS emulation for FlightGear.
The MK VIII is an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System aimed at
regional turboprop and small turbofan aircrafts such as the Citation,
Citation Bravo, B1900D, Beechcraft 99 and L410.
Frederic Bouvier:
make the MSVC compilation possible. Rearrange base package directories.
- Provide generic Nasal code to check if a pilot is abusing their aircraft
by extending their gear/flaps above the maximum allowed speed, exceeding
Vne, or pulling excessive G-forces.
- Implement limits within the C182.
This adds a TACAN instrument to the inventory. Range and bearing are calculated
to the TACAN or VORTAC beacon selected by means of the Channel Selector in the E
quipment/Radio pull-down menu.
A TACAN beacon has also been added to the aircraft carrier Nimitz (channel #029Y
).
I've finished the emigration of the radiostack, and I've also removed it
completely. It turned out that the comm radio is completely implemented in
the ATC subsystem. I've changed the affected ATC files to point
to /instrumentation/com, but I guess that the maintainer of the ATC code
should decide wether to make it configureable, and how.
I also had to change some files in Network and Main. The changes in network
should be obvious, but the changes in Main were a bit suspect. The files
included radiostack.hxx, but they weren't directly depending on
radiostack-hxx. They were depending on other files that were included by
radiostack.hxx. I got it to compile, but I'm not sure if I included the
correct directly depending file.
For the data directory I changed every occurrence of /radios/
with /instrumentation/ with this simple one-liner that I found on the net:
find -name '*.xml' -type f | xargs perl -pi -e
's/\/radios\//\/instrumentation\//g'
Instead of me sending all the files that got changed by this I suggest that
you execute the one-liner yourself. Of course I can not guarantee that this
will work perfectly, but I considered hand editing to be not an option (I'm
lazy). I don't want to test every aircraft to see if everything still works,
I think it's better to wait and see if anyone complaints about broken nav
radios/instruments.
I've made an encoder and a transponder. The transponder gets C-Mode altitude
information from the encoder. These two might not be very usefull right now,
but I think they might come in handy when the ATC network gets going.
Instrumentation and systems are now configureable from xml files. The two
generic configurations generic-systems.xml and generic-instrumentation.xml
configures the systems and instrumentation as it was hardcoded. You can
override the generic configurations in a similar way as you override the
autopilot configuration.
tasks that should be purely proportional. So I added support for my old
ultra-simplistic PI controller. This does wonders for stage #1 of the
altitude and AGL hold.
