This patch adds the ability to do a simple scaling of input without having to
add hardcoded helpers. Example:
<reference>
<prop>/autopilot/settings/vertical-speed-fpm</prop>
<scale>0.01667</scale>
</reference>
Add FGPredictor class to xmlauto. Add support for horizontal navigation based
on flight track as opposed to heading. Add crosstrack-error support to nav.
Simplify error adjust calculation for horizontal nav (better interception).
Fixed potential divide by zero that was producing nan issues in the xmlauto
code.
I've done some changes to xmlauto.cxx.
Only calculate the derivate filtering if derivate time Td is greater than
zero. This means that one can set Td=0.0 in the xml file to completely remove
the derivate action. (Setting Td to zero in the current version would lead to
a division by zero and crash.)
Setting the integrator time Ti to zero doesn't make sense, right! I've
modified so that setting Ti to zero results in the integral action being
completely removed.
seem to be fully deterministic in P-only mode. This old simple controller
does what I expect, so it's good for calulating stage #1's of multi-stage
controllers.
