This set of changes cleans up my previous ones quite a bit:
[tony@valkyrie FlightGear]$ tar -ztf tp_changes.tgz
src/Controls/controls.cxx
src/Controls/controls.hxx
src/FDM/JSBsim.cxx
src/Main/fg_init.cxx
src/Main/options.cxx
src/Main/options.hxx
src/Joystick/joystick.cxx
controls.[ch]xx: removed the trimmed_throttle stuff. This undoes the
changes I submitted last time.
JSBsim.cxx: updates for the removal of the trimmed_throttle stuff
fg_init.cxx: removed the autothrottle logic. The autothrottle is now
off
by default.
options.[ch]xx: Sets trim_mode to false by default. It is enabled only
when --notrim is not used and JSBsim is the FDM.
joystick.cxx: Added logic for syncing the throttle lever. This is
only enabled when trim_mode is enabled. The way I
did it is, I hope, a good way of going about it.
I tested:
fgfs --fdm=larcsim
fgfs --fdm=jsb --aircraft=c172 --vc=100 --altitude=500
fgfs --notrim --fdm=jsb --aircraft=c172 --vc=100 --altitude=500
All work as intended, at least for me.
Make sure your joystick is calibrated and give:
fgfs --fdm=jsb --aircraft=c172 --vc=100 --altitude=500
a try, I think you just might be impressed.
I am. ;-)
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.
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.
