speedups to uiuc_menu.cpp.
(Note these were originally submitted before the cutoff date for new
features, but something was corrupted in the transfer so I granted a bit
of leeway in the schedule.)
- Removed some old cruft.
- Removed some support for older versions of automake which technically was
correct, but caused the newer automakes to squawk warnings during an
initial sanity check (which isn't done very intelligently.)
NOTE: this fix is technically not correct for older version of automake.
These older version use the variable "INCLUDES" internally and could have
them already set to an important value. That is why we were appending
our values to them. However, newer versions of automake don't set this
value themselves so it is an error to append to a non-existant variable.
We seem to "get away" with overwriting the value on older versions of
automake, but if you have problems, consider upgrading to at least
automake-1.5.
instrument. This needs to move somewhere permanent.
Also, remove a bogus fuel consumption setting that (1) was off by a factor
of 3600 (hours, not seconds) and (2) collided with identical code in FGFDM.
the amount of drag that the produced lift *would* have produced given an
unflapped air surface. A nifty trick involving the assumption that AoA is
small works for this, and produces plausible results in the high AoA case
as well.
Also, trim for approach using the elevator-trim control, not elevator.
Just cosmetic for current planes, but future ones might have differing
implementations of trim.
(and not the throttle setting), but the recalculation left in a degeneracy
when the target/throttle setting was exactly zero. Zero times a big number
is still zero. Fixed to use real math, not theoretical math.
Fetch all pending remote fdm network packets so there is not chance of
getting behind.
Add support for driving control panel lights.
Working on better modeling KX 155 tuning behavior.
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.
when the lift/drag are really solid. And defer the approach trim until
the all four of the other variables are perfect. I believe this should
fix the solution failures under gcc 2.95.2.
implicitly in PropEngine by disallowing negative torques, but that was
removed at some point. We really need the explosion protection here
at the source.
