the root PropertyNode element. For example,
--aircraft=c172
is now an alias for
--aircraft=c172r
which is an alias for
--aircraft=c172r-jsbsim
All JSBSim *-set.xml files have been renamed to include 'jsbsim'
explicitly in their names; the ones without 'jsbsim' are now aliases
to the default, whatever that may be.
Here are some new, simpler aircraft identifiers:
--aircraft=cub
--aircraft=747
--aircraft=sopwithCamel
--aircraft=c310-3d
and so on.
This system allows users to create new *-set.xml files by overriding
parts of existing ones rather than by cut-and-paste.
the electrical system added so the night lighting works (hey
I do most of my flying at night).
I also added archive flags to some properties as per
c172-set.xml.
except that it has a full screen panel with only the 9 'major' 3 inch
instruments plus four 2 inch engine monitoring instruments. This is intended
to go along with a hardware cockpit "someday."
This is sufficient to keep the wings level in cruise at 3000 ft, 2200
RPM; the value will have to change as we make changes to the model.
Note that a stock Cessna 172 does not have an aileron-trim wheel
inside the cockpit; to set the trim, you actually bend a sheet of
metal by hand when the plane is on the ground.
and renaming /sim/sound to /sim/sound/audible. So far, there are
sound config files only for the C172, C182, and C310; we'll have to
add them for other aircraft.
preferences.xml, and added <sim>...</sim> tags back into the *-set.xml
files. You need the newest FlightGear CVS changes to use together
with these changes.
more intuitive. We switch to an include in the preferences.xml to include
the default model, and then if the user specifies --aircraft=, that is
expanded immediately so portions can be overwritten by subsequent command
line options.
This required a slight format change to all the *-set.xml files.
