Due to jumpy joystick read-outs the UFO jitters a lot in turns.
This patch implements simple damping for aileron/elevator/throttle.
Furthermore it lets the UFO fly backwards if brake[0] is active
(by default associated with the joystick's fire button). After all,
everyone knows that UFO's can fly backwards!
I have finished working the bugs out of my "Enhanced" version of the Magic
Carpet FDM. The UFO FDM works the same as the Magic Carpet with the
following exceptions:
The aircraft's pitch is determined by the Elevator setting (with a pitch
rate of 45 degrees per second).
Climb is forward velocity * sin(pitch)
Speed is forward velocity * soc(pitch)
Roll is tied to the aileron (again, with a roll rate of 45 degrees per
second)
Turn rate is sin(roll) * 45 degrees.
Yes, this does mean that turning is quite a bit more sluggish than
climbing.
If you are wondering why a UFO FDM, it is because it's best that I not
replace the existing magic carpet and this FDM does behave like a UFO (it
hovers, can spin and pitch while hovering, and does not obey the laws of
physics ;)
