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.

maintianed or upgraded in a *long* time so it didn't support many new
features like the runway lighting. If anyone was using it for anything,
it should not be a huge amount of work to switch to the binary format.
SimGear includes a reader and writer for the binary format.
I modified the files in src/Autopilot to add waypoint capabilities to the telnet port.
'set waypoint <WPT>' will set the next waypoint.
'get waypoint' returns one string which is the list of waypoints.
'set waypoint 0' will delete the next waypoint.
appears still to be indicating.
Added a 'caged' property to the AI, for aerobatic work.
Temporarily disabled tumbling due to pitch, until I can learn more
about it.
Publish the current amount of tumble (-1.0:1.0) under
/instrumentation/attitude-indicator/tumble-norm.
Set a random value for a numeric property
Params:
<property> - the name of the property to randomize
<min> - the minimum allowed value
<max> - the maximum allowed value
The one to fg_init.cxx initialises the AI subsystem regardless of whether it's enabled or not so that later enabling by the user doesn't crash it, and the one to main.cxx avoids running the ATC manager and ATC display system unless enabled.
