Tune up the starter torque to match the recent changes to engine
...
friction. We should get these better calibrated at some point...

Increase friction at idle, so that the engine idles more slowly.
...
The friction factor should be tunable through a runtime parameter;
right now, it is optimized for the PA-28-161.

Fuel consumption. Simple implementation without support for tank selection

or engine-specific feeds.

Change the idle MP to reduce idle power a bit. This is basically a
...
hack, and should be replaced with a sane idle model that has some
physical justification.

Basically complete support for piston engine startup, including power loss
...
due to single-magneto operation. Seems to work.

Minor mixup. Engines that are off have a manifold pressure equal to

ambient, not to _rho0, which is the air density of the "calibration
environment" (typically sea level).

Scaling "idle" MP to 6 inches or so is all well and good, but not if
...
the engine continues to develop 20% power. Rescale the output power
accordingly, so idling aircraft stay put.

Added minimal support for magnetos, so that engines can be shut off.
...
The starter isn't working yet, so the engine just springs to life.

Initial revision of Andy Ross's YASim code. This is (Y)et (A)nother Flight
...
Dynamics (Sim)ulator. Basically, this is a rough, first cut of a "different
take" on FDM design. It's intended to be very simple to use,
producing reasonable results for aircraft of all sorts and sizes,
while maintaining simulation plausibility even in odd flight
conditions like spins and aerobatics. It's at the point now where one
can actually fly the planes around.
