From 4a41f966317e6e536f0980c499bb836626de68eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: curt Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2004 22:12:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Roy Vegard Ovesen: I've added a tracking bug to the gps. This is of course very similar to a heading bug for a DG. I don't know if this is the common name, but I feel that for a gps the name tracking bug is more accurate than heading bug. A true bug error and a magnetic bug error is calculated and shifted into the -180 to 180 range so that they can be used by autopilots. I've also fixed a property name that crept in when I had to change back to indicated-***. Back then I accidentally changed the desired course name to "indicated-course". The property that is supposed to be the input for the desired course should naturally be named something like "desired-course", and definitely _not_ "indicated-course". If this name change breaks anything it should be fixed in the other end. I've also commented out a lot of #includes that I don't think is needed. I'm on Suse 9.0 now, and it builds fine here, but this might be a problem for different platforms I guess we have to cross our fingers. --- src/Instrumentation/gps.cxx | 76 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- src/Instrumentation/gps.hxx | 17 +++++++-- 2 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/Instrumentation/gps.cxx b/src/Instrumentation/gps.cxx index 3f65e3e94..2322fecb8 100644 --- a/src/Instrumentation/gps.cxx +++ b/src/Instrumentation/gps.cxx @@ -9,24 +9,10 @@ #include -#include - -#include STL_STRING - #include -#include -#include -#include - -#include -#include -#include -#include -#include #include #include -#include #include
