Attached is a fix to add a short period of cranking time required
before the engine fires. I've also added a little hack to limit the
torque applied by the starter motor when the rpm is less than 10 in
order to avoid the rpm overshooting idle in the first time step when
the prop is producing very little resistance due to the low rpm.
I've attached 3 diffs against files in FlightGear to fix some printf
format strings. The changes are pretty straight forward. Let me know
if you have any questions. (BTW, I'm using gcc 2.95.4)
otherwise, the logic in FGEngine::ConsumeFuel breaks down and the
engine is starved when *any* feed tank is empty, rather than when all
feed tanks are empty.
- automake-1.4 sets default values for INCLUDES which we can't
overwrite.
- automake-1.5 renames this to DEFAULT_INCLUDES and leaves INCLUDES
open for the developer to use.
Thus for automake-1.4 we are forced to 'append' to INCLUDES and in
automake-1.5 we can just set the value to whatever we like.
Unfortunately, the behaviors of the two versions are mutually
incompatible.
The solution I am committing now works for both versions but
automake-1.5 generates a lot of spurious warning messages that are
annoying, but not fatal.
(i.e. multiloop). Most subsystems currently ignore the parameter, but
eventually, it will allow all subsystems to update by time rather than
by framerate.
Here's an unusual patch for FlightGear -- I've created .cvsignore
files for every source directory, to make CVS output more informative.
This is especially nice when using cvs-examine from (X)Emacs to look
for changes.
