maintainable. The rules are simple (extension functions are called
*with* the lock, which must be dropped before calling naCall(), which
grabs it) but the tracking of when the lock was held was getting a
little confused. Keep a "nasal call depth" count in the subsystem to
figure out whether we are making a sub-call and thus hold the lock.
- Fix a warning about class member initialization order.
- Clear up a problem with the default autopilot behavior on the back side
of an ILS in preparation for adding a real "back course" approach mode.
and "latitude-offset" should not use a precalculated value of warp.
2) Since the values of cur_time and crrGMT are identical in the current
version of the SGTime class, the calculations of the "system", "gmt", and
"latitude" are re-evaluated and updated where necessary.
I attach 2 new files and a diff file for the associated changes to add a
“fluxgate compass” to the instrument inventory. Whist this outputs
essentially the same data as /orientation/heading-magnetic-deg, it has to
be powered, and can be made to fail. I also followed Roy’s suggestion to
generate the error properties for this instrument here rather than in
xmlauto.xml.
When this instrument is included in cvs, I intend to use it in the Hunter,
A4F Seahawk and KC135. After a bit more research, it might be appropriate
for the Spitfire and Hurricane as well. AJ would also like to use it for his
Lightning model.
autopilot with the servos off. In otherwords, the computer goes through the
motions of computing the desired behavior (pitch or roll) but doesn't actually
drive the outputs. This is potentially useful when implimenting a flight
director.
and tgt_altitude -> tgt_altitude_ft. Also fix a comment in AIBase.hxx
indicating that the altitude is in meters, even though the usage throughout the
code was most definitely feet.
- In AIMultiplayer.cxx, update the altitude_ft variable so that the altitude
is reported correctly in the entity's property subtree.
- In AIMultiplayer.cxx, compute a velocity value in kts to fill in the speed
entry in the entity's property subtree. Note, this is not an earth centered
reference speed, not an indicated speed and not a speed relative to the local
airmass (that would be much harder to do.)
the buggy ~fnt(), causing an abort() ... ;-)

each frame. However, often these values didn't change leading to bogus data
getting introduced into the computational pipeline.
This patch switches to a much more sane method for ground track computation.
