e8db622ce1 Patch from Alex Perry:
Ok, I found the problem.  You're computing the dynamic pressure in
"psf" and adding it to the static pressure in "inHg" to form the
total pressure.  The attached patch is the simple fix to the source.

With that fix, failing the pitot while in cruise at 3k' will cause
the airspeed to indicate beyond redline during climb ... well before 4k'.
Thus, a pitot problem can be detected on any IFR altitude change.

Similarly, failing the static (with working pitot) while cruising 4k'
causes the airspeed to indicate beyond redline during a descent
well before reaching 3k' (during which, of course, the ALT looks fine).
Thus, a static failure can be detected before the aircraft breaks out
of the pilot tolerance range and is blatantly conspicuous soon after.

vertical-speed indicator connected to the static port.

8d5714084e Added static port system and a new altimeter model connected to it.
The static port uses the

  /systems/static/

property subtree, and the altimeter uses the

  /instrumentation/altimeter/

property subtree.
