de1c84c8c0 Jim Wilson:
There are a number of little changes.  Tested with current cvs as of 20:30EST
04Feb.  Actually been running since the beginning of January with these
patches.  All changes work without crashing with the current base package cvs,
but there are some visual problems with the views (other than pilot view)
without changes to the base package.

As soon as you can build test and commit I can add in those base package
updates that will make it all work nicely.  I will also go through all the 3D
Aircraft configs to make sure the change in the "pitch-offset" for cockpit
views (see below) are made to maintain current behavior.

Here are the files (changes listed below):

02b4b4a3f0 Lee Elliott:
Here're some updates for some of the instruments, the TSR2 and the B52.

The instruments are just parameterised/non-specific versions of the engine
and fuel gauges.  The old gauges will still be used by the a10s and the sea
hawks until I get them done.

There're a couple of tweaks to the tsr2 yasim config and amendments to the
model file to change the angle at which the airbrakes operate, correct the
direction that the nose gear retracts/extends and to rotate the main-gear
carts during retraction/extention.  There're also new panels, using the new
instruments.

The b52 yasim config has some big changes due to finding some more info i.e.
wing incidence of 6 degrees, fuel capacities and aileron changes (removed
from G & H versions!).  It's now based on an 'F' model and I've put some
comments in the yasim config about it.  The b52-readme.txt includes a
suggested method on getting airborne;).   I've included an amended model -
B52-F.3ds, which is the default in the new model file, and a couple of panels.

I'm quite pleased with the b52 - the take-offs resemble the photographs I've
seen and I think I've got reasonable values where I've had to guess at stuff,
but the results from the yasim solver look as through the model is
approaching the limits of acceptability for yasim.  By this I mean that the
model is probably a bit dodgy, not that the yasim solver is limited.

Open the lower door for good measure -- it's allowed to be open during

f026a4db74 Patch from Julian Foad:
OK -- thanks.  I have now fixed up all the other XML files in the base
package that use "max" and "wrap".  Those affected are all in
Aircraft/Instruments/.  In these files I have also corrected the
indentation in some places, and corrected the frequency controls in
nav3.xml (which does not seem to be in use), and corrected a few obvious
hotspot position bugs.  Where the radios used wrapping to toggle the
ident button between 0 and 1, I have changed this to use
"property-toggle" instead.

a9707b1189 after doing some high altitude testing, I've realised that Andy's max
speed/cruise speed setting was better and I've reverted to that - they were
too fast at altitude:)  They are closer using Andy's figure.

They don't quite have the required range though:(

There's now another a10 variant - a ferry load configuration - no weapons but
3 x 600 us gal external tanks.  This seems to be the heaviest confguration
for an a10.  I also found a performance graph for the a10 in clean
configuration and it showed max speeds of 275 knots at 45000 ft and 398 knots
at 1200 ft.  As things seem to get a bit squiffy above 35000 ft, in my
experience, I used the 1200 ft figure.  This is pretty close the the figure
that Andy Ross found (380 knots at 0 ft) and I've also tried to incorporate
his mods into the new configs, with a better balanced wing/hstab settings.

After getting a good clean config, I added the extra masses/fuel
tanks/fueselages but didn't change any of the rest of the config, and it
still seems to work properly.  The external tanks were done as fuel tank
entries, with corresponding fuselage entries, whereas I'm not sure how to
handle the 'weight' entries in yasim yet so the weapon load is still done
with an increased total mass and ballast entries.

There'll be some stuff in the archives that haven't changed i.e. the cl & wl
a10 and seahawk models, but until I get using cvs for my own bits and pieces
it was easier to do the whole directory.  I hope this isn't a problem.

Finally, I've set up some panels, based on the c310 vfr and mini panels.  The
vfr panels have a lot of additional instruments on them but impose quite a
high frame-rate hit on my system.  The mini panels also have some additional
instruments but seem to work without noticable penalty here.  I've set these
panels as the defaults for these aircraft but I'm not sure it's a good idea
to have the vfr panels by default due to the performance hit.  Using them as
default will should give some feedback though;)

To go with the new panels are a number of rough and ready instruments I
hacked, mostly out of one of the rpm gauges, but I've adapted the throttle
quadrent (jet-throttle-quadrant) to funstion for throttle, flaps and reheat.
All the gauge faces were based on an existing ffgfs instrument texture, so
there's no problem with copyright there.  All the other bits that I've done
may be distributed under the same conditions as fgfs.

The only real changes to the seahawk stuff were to add the panels, but I
found that Sea Hawks have three fuel tanks, with a 'saddle tank' over the
engine feeding fuel into the second/rear tank, so the yasim config's changed.

Here are some more updates, and bits and pieces.

The tsr2 is mostly a re-write, with more reasonable figures for the wing and
hstab.  I've also tried to reduce the poly count on the model whilst adding
the airbrakes and canopies.
