4d146352d7 Simplify the pitot system and ASI -- the indicated airspeed should be
more reasonable now.

6bfdb5a762 Add support for specifying an rpm source for the alternator. This enables
us to tie the output of an arbitrary generator to the state of an arbitrary
engine.

9e35d33657 Add the ability to specify an initial state (on/off) for a connector switch.
If nothing is specifed the switch defaults to on, but this is a problem for
the starter switch.

9adaa93b19 Kludge in a /systems/electrical/serviceable master property to kill
the whole electrical system.  We will also need a mechanism to kill
individual suppliers (such as the alternator), but this is good enough
for most training.

8e60042052 Patch from Erik Hofman:
This patch turns out to be much more reliable compared to the previous
one I sent Curtis. Could you apply it for me?

8aae366757 Fixed so that ASI will indicate correctly (or at least, more
correctly) in winds.

e8db622ce1 Patch from Alex Perry:
Ok, I found the problem.  You're computing the dynamic pressure in
"psf" and adding it to the static pressure in "inHg" to form the
total pressure.  The attached patch is the simple fix to the source.

With that fix, failing the pitot while in cruise at 3k' will cause
the airspeed to indicate beyond redline during climb ... well before 4k'.
Thus, a pitot problem can be detected on any IFR altitude change.

Similarly, failing the static (with working pitot) while cruising 4k'
causes the airspeed to indicate beyond redline during a descent
well before reaching 3k' (during which, of course, the ALT looks fine).
Thus, a static failure can be detected before the aircraft breaks out
of the pilot tolerance range and is blatantly conspicuous soon after.

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.

cc4821e43f Each node in the electrical system graph can now publish to an arbitrary
number of properties which will reflect that node's state.

8d2014f7bc Updates to the electrical system model. "Juice" is now propogated through
the system, switches, fuses, circuit-breakers work.  Nothing is actually
wired into the electical system yet.

3323efa256 Check point commit:
The code reads the electrical system config and contructs an internal model.
Nothing is done beyond that yet ... the electrical system is not updated,
nor is it connected to the property system in anyway.

7c057de4fe Started new module and sub-modules for aircraft systems, including an
initial simplistic vacuum system that's not yet connected to anything.
