Default FG text file encoding is UTF-8. Files encoded in others character
sets must explicitly set the encoding - otherwise text decoding (and XML
parsing) may fail.
2. Corrected c172p nav0 and nav1 cdi and gs needle animations by adding generic-autopilot-helper.xml per Torsten's hint.
3. Changed main gear compression animation computation from nasal to interpolation xml.
removed action-sim.nas
+ nose gear scissor animation computation now via interpolation xml
+ main gear rotation due to compression now via interpolation xml
+ moved NAV0 and NAV1 needle deflection filters to pseudo-autopilot xml
+ moved pannel and instrument lights control to light.nas
+ the remaining tank setlisteners are now in tank.nas
pa24-250 updates
+ landing light animation now modeled after pa22 landing lights
- 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.
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.
Patch goals:
1. Implement instrument and pannel lights controled by the nav-light switch.
2. Use Instruments-3d/vor which includes GS flag and filters for smooth movement of cdi and gs needles to and from parked position.
3. Adjust model and pilot view per the agreed to changes in Re: [Flightgear-devel] c172p pitch at cruise question, 12/06/2008 02:27 PM. These changes were never committed.
