- Added support for additional manager objects, e.g.
for animating a 3d model or move a JSBSim pointmass.
- Improved the documentation.
- Some bugs removed.
They are not perfect as the Equipement is not good enough, but though they works quite good!

The new A/P implementation does not contain the hardcoded "helper" functions
anymore. The properties created in these helpers are now generated by
autopilot components defined in generic-autopilot-helper.xml which is
included by default in preferences.xml
Currently, there are some hard coded autopilot helpers.
They can (and should) easily be modeled in an external XML file.
The filter in this file produce the exact same output as the hard coded
filters.
This is just a preparation step for a smooth transition at a later time.
Added GS out of range flag to Instruments-3d/vor.
Century III upgrades
1. Implemented the two 20 sec checks for GS arm documented in the autopilot POH page 30.
2. Fixed bug that made GS capture not work if the ALT switch was turned off for a few moments to do a step-down approach.
- Changed properties name in the XML: radardist -> radar-performance.
- Corrected spelling of data.
- Shortened the init message.
This doesn' change the way to call radardist.nas functions.
"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
- 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.
"This patch allows all the AC using the kap140 to use one kap140.nas
which includes Roy's move to "bool" values as well as the check for
power used by the pa24-250." (dp)
includes Instruments/fuel.xml. And *that* one creates tank[0] and tank[1]
for *all* aircraft, which is quite annoying. A generic panel should display
fuel numerically (like Lee's panels do) or as %.
aar.nas disables $FG_ROOT/Nasal/fuel.nas' main loop, as it should be able
to fully replace it. Ideally, there would be no aar.nas at all, and fuel.nas
would do the job for YASim & JSBSim. Unfortunately, there's a problem with
fuel.nas that's not easy to fix ...
far as this supports air refueling at all)
- make listeners keep variables up-to-date (for better performance)
- remove the ugly initialization stuff in the main loop, but wait in
an extra loop for the FDM to come up
This script works now with the a4f, too. The vulcan2 is *supposed* to
work, but there's apparently a bug in it that prevents it.
/systems/refuel/contact is correcly set, and that should be enough for it.
I have implemented a Honeywell MK VIII EGPWS emulation for FlightGear.
The MK VIII is an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System aimed at
regional turboprop and small turbofan aircrafts such as the Citation,
Citation Bravo, B1900D, Beechcraft 99 and L410.
Frederic Bouvier:
make the MSVC compilation possible. Rearrange base package directories.
- Provide generic Nasal code to check if a pilot is abusing their aircraft
by extending their gear/flaps above the maximum allowed speed, exceeding
Vne, or pulling excessive G-forces.
- Implement limits within the C182.
This adds a TACAN instrument to the inventory. Range and bearing are calculated
to the TACAN or VORTAC beacon selected by means of the Channel Selector in the E
quipment/Radio pull-down menu.
A TACAN beacon has also been added to the aircraft carrier Nimitz (channel #029Y
).
