The property /fdm/jsbsim/propulsion/engine/prop-induced-velocity_fps
gives wrong answers, and can become NaN under certain conditions. When thrust is
negative and forward velocity is small we can take the square root of a negative
number. This could occur, for example, when using reverse thrusters on landing.
The value comes out much too high when alpha is near 180, such as taxing with a
tail wind.
are the accelerations (forces) as felt from the pilot's perspective. This
combines the accelerations due to change in velocity vector and gravity.
Previosly the gravity part was right, but the body accelerations were being
transformed incorrectly. The error was very subtle and basically amounted to
the fact that inverting an axis of a vector before transforming it is not
equivalent to transforming the vector and then inverting that axis.
After this fix, pilot accelerations + gyro + gps can be fed into an external
kalman filter and it will converge properly (extra confirmation that there
was a problem and this fix corrects it.)
Replace SG_GENERAL by more specific log classes in many places.
Allow "," to separate logging classes (using "|" is odd on the
command-line).
Also add new option to make logging more useful for developers.
You can use:
--log-level=debug --log-class=environment
to only get environment debug messages, or
--log-level=debug --log-class=sound,ai
to only get debug messages related to the sound or AI subsystem.
1. The atmospheric properties of FG are not yet initialized when
JSBSim is initialized.
-> patch is quite basic and there may exist smarter ways to initialize
properly the environment before the FDM.
2. The Euler angles were initialized after the velocities.
3. The glide slope and rate of climb were ignored. Fixes all FDMs (YASim,
UIUC, JSBSim, etc.)
4. Some properties were instructed to re-use their previous value while
they should not.
5. Some bugs existed in JSBSim trim code. -> This bug has already been
fixed in JSBSim but the corresponding patch has not yet been applied to FG.
