4b424a29e7 David Culp:
I went through the AI code to put the "bank" node back into the config file,
so the models can fly circles.  While I was in there I made some other
changes.

*)  Moved the initialization of roll, tgt-roll, pitch ... etc, from init()
into the constructor, so it wouldn't over-write the config settings.

*)  Changed the altitude getter to remove the meters-to-feet conversion.  The
altitude is kept internally in feet.  Only the scenery code needs meters.

*)  Added "bank" item for config file (for type=aircraft).  Left bank is
negative.

*)  Added "rudder" item for config file (for type=ship).  Left rudder is
negative.  Internally this is stored in the "roll" variable, but the ship
model doesn't roll.  It uses the "roll" variable for turning though.


The following puts a tanker at 3000 feet, 6 nm northwest of KSFO.  On takeoff,
the tanker is visible over the hanger building at one-o'clock.

863b0c9432 Make the AI models a bit more intelligent. The Gear should be extended and retracted automatically, the navigation lights turn on when sun-angle-rad > 1.57, strobe and beacon are always on and make sure all properties are returned in the right unit format. 2004-01-22 21:13:47 +00:00

298f53edef Tidy up the code a bit more, move /ai/model[] to /ai/models/model[] and make sure there can be more than one model subtree. 2003-12-22 10:24:15 +00:00

9bc2517417 Make the AI model export it's internal state to the property tree under /ai/model[] using the same naming convention as used for the regular FDM. Also make sure the model animations are relative the the /ai/model[] node. 2003-12-21 20:12:55 +00:00
