a549c8fe45 Fix unused constants in YASim 2016-01-12 12:50:44 -06:00

a482465659 Fix a problem with the YASim turbulence model. This change has been
coordinated with and approved by Andy.

The lattice(x,y) arguments were being "WRAP()'d" but the WRAP() function
didn't make sense.  Instead it was forcing the value to zero if it was
greater than the wrap limit.  This was creating large areas of constant
values in the perlin noise maps which resulted in a "constant" turbulence
vector over time -- which is just weird.

Andy couldn't see any reason why the values should be wrapped and couldn't
remember any reason why the WRAP() function was set up like it was.

Andy wanted me to make sure and mention that he was INSANE when he wrote that
code (but now he's sane ... err, mostly.)

5d18c09c08 Maik Justus:
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).

ce91286e19 First cut at a turbulence model for YASim. It's a
perlin/scale-invariant vector field implemented as a 2D lookup table.
Seems to work OK, but needs testing and feedback.
