- move variable declaration near their first use (c++ style rather than c)
- rename (zenith|nadir|hat) to enable-(zenith|nadir|hat) and make them bool
(for consistency reasons)
- 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.
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.
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.
SGPropertyNode to guarded ones. This is also done for JSBSim/JSBSim.hxx,
for which JSB had given explicit permission a while ago. I postponed that
back then, but now is the time.
"Add Air to Air TACAN and User-User refuelling over the Multiplayer Network.
With this change, your TACAN instrument can be tuned to the channel of a
Multiplayer ac. It also activates fuel flow between User and User aircraft
when they are less than 50 ft apart. To participate in multiplayer as a
tanker, all you require to do is to use the callsign MOBIL* (where * is some
number) on the net. Only MOBIL1, MOBIL2 and MOBIL3 have been assigned TACAN
channels, but any MOBIL callsign will be able to give fuel."
"Add Air to Air TACAN. With this facility TACAN equipped aircraft can
measure the range and bearing of TACAN equipped AI Aircraft. ATM there is
only one assigned - callsign ESSO1 on TACAN channel 039X, but this can be
easily expanded to include other c/s channel # pairs - just ask me if you
want more."
