e9b70e3ab8 Changes by Roy Ovesen to begin migrating the avionics out of the Cockpit
directory and over to the Instrumentation directory and make them modular
in the sense of being able to pick and choose what you include with any
particular aircraft.

2c72f13163 Roy Vegard Ovesen:
We have decided that hardcoded initialization of instruments and systems is
bad. So we remove them.

Hardcoded initialization is bad because it can't be overridden from config
files or from the command line. We prefer to do it through config files that
should be, eventually, aircraft specific (*-set.xml), not global
(preferences.xml).

I've added two new debug log types for the instrumentation and systems. They
used to use the autopilot debug log, because I couldn't figure out how to
make new log types. Well, now I have figured it out.  ;-)

Instrumentation and systems are now configureable from xml files. The two
generic configurations generic-systems.xml and generic-instrumentation.xml
configures the systems and instrumentation as it was hardcoded. You can
override the generic configurations in a similar way as you override the
autopilot configuration.

d5d38ebe8c Make the attitude indicator gyro error kick in earlier in the gyro spin down
process.
Add the annunciator model to the list of managed instrumentation modules.

6d4ea1494c First pass at trying to add back in the AI effect where it starts drifting
off it's correct position once the gyro spins down below a certain threshold
(such as what would happen in a vacuum failure.)

e4dc8fc3fd Improved tumbling behaviour -- the AI doesn't just freeze now, but
appears still to be indicating.

Added a 'caged' property to the AI, for aerobatic work.

Temporarily disabled tumbling due to pitch, until I can learn more
about it.

Publish the current amount of tumble (-1.0:1.0) under
/instrumentation/attitude-indicator/tumble-norm.

ad6236cbe7 Add the ability for the AI to tumble in extreme attitudes, if
/instrumentation/attitude-indicator/config/tumble-flag

is true.  The AI will take up to five minutes to reerect itself
completely.

677c3e3e9a Added a Gyro helper class to factor out some common code for managing
a spinning gyro.

Changed FGInstrumentMgr to inherit from FGSubsystemGroup, greatly
simplifying the (already simple) class.  I should probably rename this
to FGInstrumentGroup or something similar, but not today.

Added the gyroscopic turn indicator (part of the TC).

b0afca93d5 Put gyro spin into a property so that it can be restored after a save. 2002-09-29 18:26:24 +00:00

8d5714084e Added static port system and a new altimeter model connected to it.
The static port uses the

  /systems/static/

property subtree, and the altimeter uses the

  /instrumentation/altimeter/

property subtree.

6a8371c44c Introduce a simplistic spin-down when insufficient suction is
available.

682feb8f2d Flattened src/Systems/ subtree.
Added src/Instrumentation/ with partial stab at a vacuum-driven
attitude indicator.
