Tony submitted:
JSBsim:
Added trimming routine, it is longitudinal & in-air only at this point
Added support for taking wind & weather data from external source
Added support for flaps.
Added independently settable pitch trim
Added alphamin and max to config file, stall modeling and warning to
follow
c172.cfg:
Flaps!
Adjusted Cmo, model should be speed stable now
FG:
Hooked up Christian's weather code, should be using it soon.
Hooked up the trimming routine. Note that the X-15 will not trim.
This is not a model or trimming routine deficiency, just the
nature of the X-15
The trimming routine sets the pitch trim and and throttle at startup.
The throttle is set using Norman's code for the autothrottle so the
autothrottle is on by default. --notrim will turn it off.
Added --vc, --mach, and --notrim switches
(vc is airspeed in knots)
uBody, vBody, and wBody are still supported, last one entered
on the command line counts, i.e. you can set vc or mach or u,v,
and w but any combination will be ignored.
old routines from SRGP. Steve's plib/sg.h does a nice job of completely
replacing this (and since plib is already around) and is a nice clean design
so it just makes sense.
above terrain check so when the view position and the aircraft model collided
the current altitude kept getting pushed up to compensate, but of course the
aircraft model would get pushed up as well because it tracks the current
aircraft position and orientation. Thus you had a never ending cycle ...
Added Simulator/Clouds/
Durk fixed a problem in gui.cxx with cursor type.
Durk updated his time zone / time-offset command line parameters
Curt added a cheezy fade in/out as we transition through the cloud layer.
We really need to fog the sky dome, sun, moon, stars as well.
Curt added --enable/disable-clouds and --clouds-asl= to control clouds.
Joystick auto-coordination tweaks.
Additional debuging output when pausing and resuming the sim.
Window resizing tweaks by David Megginson (and Norman Vine).
