I went through the AI code to put the "bank" node back into the config file,
so the models can fly circles. While I was in there I made some other
changes.
*) Moved the initialization of roll, tgt-roll, pitch ... etc, from init()
into the constructor, so it wouldn't over-write the config settings.
*) Changed the altitude getter to remove the meters-to-feet conversion. The
altitude is kept internally in feet. Only the scenery code needs meters.
*) Added "bank" item for config file (for type=aircraft). Left bank is
negative.
*) Added "rudder" item for config file (for type=ship). Left rudder is
negative. Internally this is stored in the "roll" variable, but the ship
model doesn't roll. It uses the "roll" variable for turning though.
The following puts a tanker at 3000 feet, 6 nm northwest of KSFO. On takeoff,
the tanker is visible over the hanger building at one-o'clock.

are many recognized limitations and inefficiencies with this entire approach,
however, it's a quick and dirty way to get something working, where before
we didn't.
