and soon to be renamed) is true, FlightGear will draw the 3-D model
even in internal view. This makes sense right now only with the C310
model, since the others don't have any kind of interiors modeled and
all surfaces in all models are one-sided.
This isn't quite working yet -- the view code is very hard to
disentangle, and currently, if the view is not forward, roll and pitch
are applied incorrectly. It looks interesting (modulo a messy model)
on the ground, in level flight, or looking straight ahead under any
other flight conditions.
actually very powerful when combined with factor and offset -- for
example, on the C310 model the nose wheel can now retract completely
before the doors start closing.
(other than "none") is "spin", which must be tied to a property giving
a value in RPM. This gets the DC-3 propellers turning. The next type
will be "rotation", which will allow the flaps, elevators, ailerons,
and rudders to move (and even gear, eventually). Later, I'll add
"shift" for sliding things around, and will figure something out for
blinking lights.
the XML file, including the path to the 3D file.
This change obsoletes the existing /sim/model/*-offset-deg and
/sim/model/*-offset-m properties in the main property tree, and
replaces them with /offsets/*-deg and /offsets/*-m in the model
property file. The /path property in the model XML file is relative
to the XML file's location rather than FG_ROOT.
