This patch removes some useless indirection when creating AIModels. It
obsolets AIScenario*.

AIEntities are just an intermediate copy of an other intermediate copy of an
xml file on the way from the ai scenario configuration file to the AIModels.
As such the AImodels can now be created directly from the property tree read
from the scenario file.

This reduces the amount of work needed to add an other AIModel and reduces the
amount of copy operations done during initialization.

It also moves internal knowledge of special AI models into these special AI
models class instead of spreading that into the whole AIModel subdirectory
which in turn enables to use carrier internal data structures for carrier
internal data ...

Also some unused variables are removed from the AIModel classes.
I believe that there are still more of them, but that is what I stumbled
accross ...

Tested, like the other splitouts these days in a seperate tree and using the
autopilot for some time, and in this case with a carrier start ...

1)  The AIStorm sets the properties:
         /environment/turbulence/magnitude-norm
         /environment/turbulence/rate-hz

    The actual turbulence effects are handled by the FDM.
    If the effects are deemed unrealistic, then that will
    have to be fixed in the FDM(s).


2)  The zone of turbulence is cylindrical, and is centered
    at the AIStorm's lat/lon.  The diameter is set with
    <diameter-ft>, the top with <height-msl>, the bottom is
    assumed to be at <altitude> minus 1000 feet.

3)  Note that the zone of turbulence may not match well with
    the visual model of the storm.  In this case I had to
    x-offset the storm model by 4700 meters to match the zone
    of turbulence. (i.e. the storm model is 4700m off center).

4)  While I was in there I also increased the speed of the
    lightning flashes to look more realistic.

b7acd97f2c Add the this pointer to the tied function calls. This makes it possible to make a distinction between the different aircraft models. 2004-05-27 13:16:53 +00:00
