Updated CitationX autopilot....
Autopilot is in flightdirector mode by default...
Until instruments are created , enable autopilot by setting "/autopilot/locks/passive-mode" to false
I came upon the TODO asking for illustrations in the 3D Aircraft Models
HOWTO and thought "that's something I can do now!" :)
Merged into model howto by Ron Jensen.
a cursor, after all, and the term "cursor" is already used for the startup
model. That one should really be called "model", but can't, because this is
already used for the ufo 3D model property ... sigh. :-]
- replace lon/lat adjustment with more predictable nearer/farther/left/right
adjustment (i.e. movements relative to the UFO position)
- add key bindings to move objects
This patch makes the pa24 changes to use the mag.sw from Instruments 3d.
Changed the mag_switch.ac to include the pick rectangles and the
mags.xml to use the pick automation. Also includes the edits to
pa28-161.xml and pa28-161-set.xml to use the 3d radio stack.
by debug.nas to turn on/off syntax coloring for dumped data (which
is desirable as compound data types can fill several screens with
rather hard to read data). Unfortunately, it can't be reliably deduced
from the OS whether ANSI colors are available or not.
- move "multiplayer chat" properties to where they belong
Changes:
1. remove typo from all the /Systems/KAP140.xml files
2. changes to put radio_stack in Instruments-3d
3. Add "pick" to vor, alt, hi, in Instruments-3d
4. changes to pa24-250 and pa28-161 to use 2 and 3.
5. add "pick" and "2d text in window" in 3d OAT in pa24-250
when dragging the mouse with middle mouse button (MMB) pressed (reset
with MMB+LMB):
Add support for forward/backward moving (MMB+KbdCtrl). With this one can,
for example, read what's written on the backside of the cup of coffee
on top of the screen in the E3B's operator room, or walk around between
the passenger seats in the fokker70 searching for the toilet. :-)
- use extra function for resuming normal mode after lookat: dynamic_view.resume()
- add fov (field-of-view) to interface: me.fov_offset
- remove register_headshake and me.headshake; this can still be done via
normal register(). If only headshaking is to be added, while keeping default
plane view, do this:
dynamic_view.register(func {
default_plane();
me.x_offset = ...
me.y_offset = ...
me.z_offset = ...
});
- initialize /sim/time/delta-realtime-sec, so that the lowpass filter doesn't
complain if it's starter eraly (of course the results won't be correct
until the delta is real)
aircraft can plug a custom function. This function can access all internal
variables of the ViewManager class. It can set me.{x,y,z}_offset, and also
add offsets to me.{heading,pitch,roll}_offset. Example:
dynamic_view.register_headshake(func {
me.x_offset = rand() * 0.02; # Parkinson effect
});
The advantage of this implementation is that it doesn't break MMB drag
functionality, and that is can be frozen by mouse movements.

- add debug.string(<variable>). This returns the variable dump as
string.
- add var to module function variables to avoid collisions with module names
