This patch for the 3d artificial horizon enables the movement of the
reference bar like the 2d instrument and corrects the wrong display of
pitch.
The original version already has a reference bar object in the .ac file
called bezel, but it is not bound to a animation. And the pitch is
indicated approx. 25% low so a pitch of +10deg is indicated as approx.
7deg.
"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

A camera tool for making fgfs videos (heavily used by Michelle) and for
tracking MP and AI aircraft. It's planned to include this into the regular
ufo, but for now it's better to keep them separated. Comes with its own
panel, which (hopefully) is self-explaining.
Shouldn't be announced on the fgfs page as separate aircraft (if that's
possible). Work in progress ...
At the moment only the range can be changed via panel click action
(click on the range numbers). Weather radar can be turned on in
/instrumentation/radar/display-controls/WX. ai/mp display to come.
For those who miss the old 2D panel, just use an aircraft with a decent
panel and add --fdm=ufo for the same effect.
algorithm (needed for the file selector and useful for other purposes, like
assembling lists of livery or screenshot files etc.)
- io.nas: move fixpath to string.nas (it's not only useful for file paths
but can also be used for property paths)
- screen.nas: move trim to string.nas (used by screen.nas and nasal-console.xml)
- gui.nas: add pattern matching to FileSelctor
- ufo.nas: use patterm matching (only *.ac and *.xml files shall be listed)
- 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.
Updated electrical system ...instrument light output normalized
Added OSG hotspots to most instruments ... more to go yet
PLIB hotspots temporarily broken ..need to resize panel to avoid whiteouts...
(a waste of time ) but some still use PLIB , so needs to be fixed ... ;)
- fix breakage due to former commit (AIManager.cxx, r1.72)
- make AI properties available in AIBase
- add <valid> property for animations/nasal scripts
- support more MP and AI targets
- add target select and altitude display
Updated KFC200 ALTITUDE mode ... sets pitch hold until selected altitude is captured ... pitch controlled by switch on controller...
KNS 80 nav radio can store 1 selected radial per stored frequency ... stored distance will come when I understand RNAV better...
More instruments underway....
Aligned hotspots...
Moved kfc200.nas to Instruments-3d where it belongs...
Redoing the kfc200 flightdirector with newer functions (setlisteners) ...still in progress
Updated radios to change standby frequencies instead of selected frequencies....
Updated CitationX autopilot....
Autopilot is in flightdirector mode by default...
Until instruments are created , enable autopilot by setting "/autopilot/locks/passive-mode" to false
