New in 0.7.3
* April 27, 2000
* Simple radio stack added to the instrument panel. The frequencies are
currently hardwired to default values until the UI for changing them
is finished. But, this is enough to fly a compile time selected ILS
instrument approach. You can adjust the radial by clicking the knob on
the panel.
* May 18, 2000
* Added a radio stack 2 VOR/ILS and an ADF to the instrument panel.
You can change the frequencies by clicking on the knobs on the
instrument panels. You can now navigate with VOR/ADF/DME and fly
ILS approaches.
* Added a chronometer to the instrument panel.
* Added a "wet" compass to the top of the instrument panel.
* Compass, vsi, and altitute instruments and vacuum system are more
accurately modeled.
* Added a magnetic variation model.
* Added navaid database management and query code.
* Added magvar offset to VOR radials.
* Heading bug now display magnetic heading rather than true heading.
* Autopilot now has modes to track a VOR and GS.
* Added custom joystick client support so sim can be flown from a
remote joystick connected to another machine. This is in support of
some custom hardware located in the human factors research lab of the
university of minnesota.
* Added navaid database management and query code.
* HUD controls are a bit different "h" toggles through day/night/off
modes and "H" cycles through brightness levels.
* Norman Vine contributed code to optionally do antialiased hud lines
on hardware that supports this. Norman also contributed additional
hud cleanups and updates.
* Updates to JSBsim flight dynamics code that includes a generic
reconfigurable flight control system.
reconfigurable flight control system, a initial state trimming routine,
support for wind and weather, support for flaps, independent trim control,
config files changes
* Updates to LaRCsim flight dynamcis code contributed by UIUC that
allows loading aircraft specifications at runtime from config files.
UIUC is using flightgear as a platform to do icing research. The UIUC

* Converted ssgVTable's to ssgVtxTables which do proper memory
management and should facilitate use of compiled vertex arrays once
ssg add support for these.
* Overhauled autopilot internals, separated out the gui controls from
the actual autopilot code.
* Cygwin32 build fixes
* MSVC++ build fixes
* Mac build fixes
