- ground properties (e.g. feel bumpiness and the reduced friction of
grass or go swimming with the beaver)
- initial load for yasim gears (to get rid of the jitter the beaver has
on ground)
- glider/winch/aerotow (do winch start with YASim glider or do aerotow
over the net) I will place a how-to on the wiki soon, here very short:
use the sgs233y (or the bocian if you have AJ (up ot now) non-GPL
bocian)
winch start: Ctrl-w for placing the winch, hold w to winch, press
Shift-w to release the tow
aerotow: Place the glider within 60m to a MP-aircraft, press
Ctrl-t to tow to this aircraft. If the MP-aircraft is the
J3 and the patch is installed on both sides, the J3 feels the
forces, too. The J3-pilot has to taxi very slow up to the
moment, the glider starts moving. Increase the throttle gently.
Don't lift the J3 early, wait for the glider being lifted,
lift gently.

generates a data file of aerodynamic lift and drag (and L/D) against
AoA at a specified speed and altitude through a full circle. Wrote it
to track down the YF-23 superthrust issue, but it wasn't any help.
All the forces look fine.
bunch of memory leaks that had accumulated over the years. FlightGear
doesn't currently bother to destroy and recreate a YASim context, but
at least it can do so now without worry.
PistonEngine class has grown an "Engine" superclass. Some other stuff
moved around too, and I cleaned up some property naming while I was in
there. This hasn't been tested very thorougly, hopefully I didn't
break anything.
reads the /consumables tree for input to determine weights, but
places output only in /engines/engine[n]/fuel-consumed-lbs where
it gets picked up by the Nasal code.
scene management code and organizing it within simgear. My strategy is
to identify the code I want to move, and break it's direct flightgear
dependencies. Then it will be free to move over into the simgear package.
- Moved some property specific code into simgear/props/
- Split out the condition code from fgfs/src/Main/fg_props and put it
in it's own source file in simgear/props/
- Created a scene subdirectory for scenery, model, and material property
related code.
- Moved location.[ch]xx into simgear/scene/model/
- The location and condition code had dependencies on flightgear's global
state (all the globals-> stuff, the flightgear property tree, etc.) SimGear
code can't depend on it so that data has to be passed as parameters to the
functions/methods/constructors.
- This need to pass data as function parameters had a dramatic cascading
effect throughout the FlightGear code.
Link the standalone executable against the source files explicitly rather
than libYASim, as the Irix linker can't handle the unneeded dependance on
other parts of FlightGear.
