Over Christmas week, I did a significant update to the pa24.
1. made interior 3d with wall thickness variation to match real geometry..
2. added cabin door and baggage door automation.
3. moved the instrument panel to the "right" x and z location.
4. replaced all the pa24-panel.xml automations with pick automations so that file can be removed from cvs.
5. mixture, throttle, prop control automations that were in pa24-panel.xml now done with mouse wheel.
6. flapTrim.ac better matches real geometry and added picks.
7. glareshield better matches real geometry (now has correct width).
8. kr87 (adf) panel animation replaced with pick animation as in pa28.
The Instruments-3d patch adds picks for the asi-pa24 and makes minor tweaks to the pa24 and pa28 fuel-oil-amps gauges.
Feel invited to create and introduce appropriate or/and better textures
for Littoral/FloodLand, GolfCourse, Cemetry, OpenMining, Lava,
ComplexCrop, Saline, Orchard, Rainforest .... and probably also those
which I've forgotten.
- Change DME to use local files rather than the pa24-250
- Create new yokes as separate model files
- Improve throttle, mixture and carb heat controls
- add scrollwheel support for throttle, mixture
- Use separate Cessna flaps indicator model.
Draw trees in two passes, opaque and transparent. This allows us to
have some transparency, which is better looking, and dispense with
sorting.

This patch adds main gear rotations about the fuselage attach points that keep the wheels in contact with the ground as the compression increases and decreases. I also rotated the main fairings and wheels 4 degrees so the wheel axles are horizontal sitting on the ground. The left and right main gear struts, wheels, and fairings were adjusted to be mirrored (symetric) in the c172p.ac. I also increased the rpm boundary between the Propeller and Propeller.slow selects.
The attached patch adds "Hide yoke" to the c172p menu, adjusts the gear spring forces and damping to cause a more tail low attitude sitting on the ground, optimizes vertices and surfaces in c172p.ac, as well as cleaning up the tabs and indents in several xml files.
