"minor update for the rotor FDM. It results in a more realistic
calculation of the phase shift of rotor and therefor in a little bit
more realistic flight behavior.
(Additionally you can modify the initial position of the rotor and some
(not finished) modifications for the jet ranger rotor)."

- ground properties (e.g. feel bumpiness and the reduced friction of
grass or go swimming with the beaver)
- initial load for yasim gears (to get rid of the jitter the beaver has
on ground)
- glider/winch/aerotow (do winch start with YASim glider or do aerotow
over the net) I will place a how-to on the wiki soon, here very short:
use the sgs233y (or the bocian if you have AJ (up ot now) non-GPL
bocian)
winch start: Ctrl-w for placing the winch, hold w to winch, press
Shift-w to release the tow
aerotow: Place the glider within 60m to a MP-aircraft, press
Ctrl-t to tow to this aircraft. If the MP-aircraft is the
J3 and the patch is installed on both sides, the J3 feels the
forces, too. The J3-pilot has to taxi very slow up to the
moment, the glider starts moving. Increase the throttle gently.
Don't lift the J3 early, wait for the glider being lifted,
lift gently.

utils/Modeller/Makefile.am src/FDM/YASim/Makefile.am:
Remove -lssg from the linker lines.
Do no longer build threedconvert. A very similar functionality
is available with osgvconv. But leave threedconvert in place
if somebody will need that ...
I found a small conspicuity in YASim. The destructor of the fdm was
never called, therefore a modification of the heli fdm (not in cvs) did
not work after reset (I tie some properties and untie them in the
destructor, but the destructor was not called and the tieing failed
after reset. I don't know if any other parts of YASim need their
destructors, at least it wastes memory.
Another small fix I have made to the turbulence.cpp. The code needed,
that (a-floor(a)) is >=0 and <1. This is analytical correct, but
numerical only for "small" values. In normal fg-operation a in this
function is always small, but with unrealistic parameters in the
aircraft config file it is not and then fg crashes (instead a crash of
the aircraft or cataputling it far away).
