04e083083d Need to call recalc() on the RigidBody during solution, or else it
won't apply the right gross weight due to fuel differences.

When solving for zero force, do so in the global frame, not the
aircraft's.  In principle, this shouldn't matter (zero is zero in all
frames), but in practice this should help to avoid oscillations.
Calculating lift as force perpendicular to the ground (and not the
wing plane) is clearly the Right Thing, anyway.

Also added support for a /yasim/gross-weight-lbs property, which
should be generically useful.

6af60f7462 Yank the "castering" attribute and replace it with a ControlMap-enabled
control that can be set via the property system.  This allows implementation
of the DC-3 wheel lock.

4535c84b99 Solve for the elevator control input during approach. It turns out that
the downforce from the tail due to elevator trim is a significant contribution
to total lift.

ab381e5c01 Added a property output feature to ControlMap that allows arbitrary binding
and scaling of control values to properties.  Also added a time interpolation
feature that replaces the hacked-in "retract-time" feature for the gear in
a more general way (applicable to flaps, too!).  Incompatibly breaks
the XML syntax; get new files!

ad79ee4897 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.

5b84ae51a5 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.
