The generic-autopilot-helper computes heading-bug-error from
magnetic heading, not indicated heading. This patch corrects
this by pulling the two used generic helper filters into our
own config (so the generic-ap-helper.xml can go away).
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.
This is what currently is done in flightgears model loading stage anyway.

-new better panel
-added lights and made them switchable
-doors can be open now (pick animation)
-added some liveries by Brett Harrison
-added paintkit by Brett Harrison
-converted liveries to png
-replaced radio stack with 3d-radios, DME and marker-lights yet missing
-minor bugfixes
-added glass shader with fresnel effect
still work on the interior to do like the seats, walls and so on...

A big step at bringing the default aircraft into the state it actually
deserves.
Features:
- new, accurate exterior modell, modelled with original 3-views by Cessna
- textures with shadow shading
- livery changing sytem over mp
- immatriculation over mp
- glass shader with fresnel effect
- nearly complete 3d-panel
Known Bugs:
- Radio_Stack shines through the fuselage. New 3d radio_stack has yet to be done.
To-Do:
- Suction-Instrument
- Interior with much more details and painting
- Radio_stack
- doors openable
- lights
- fully animation of the gear
- failure system by Erobo
This is a patch to the c172p fdm to add pointmasses for all four
occupant positions and baggage. The X locations were taken from the
c172 type certificate 3A12 dated September 15, 1998. As the new
pointmasses have a weight of 0 they will not affect the current model,
however we are extending the FlightGear weight and balance dialog for
JSBSim and the pointmasses have to be defined.
- 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.
Changes:
1. remove typo from all the /Systems/KAP140.xml files
2. changes to put radio_stack in Instruments-3d
3. Add "pick" to vor, alt, hi, in Instruments-3d
4. changes to pa24-250 and pa28-161 to use 2 and 3.
5. add "pick" and "2d text in window" in 3d OAT in pa24-250
"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)
