Ground-bit is set manually (via the transponder GND knob position) or
automatically using a property referenced in instrumentation.xml.
Aircraft will only transmit these new properties when using the
multiplayer v2 protocol.
Requires FGData commit: 0565eaab10a5d466cd485766b17d1870936a0a57
(which actually renames the file).
Also disables the preferences-load command since I don’t believe it
would actually be safe to reload the defaults without doing a simulator
reset (aircraft -set.xml values would be overwritten, for example)
Generic transponder can emulate KT-70 props. These emulated props
will likely die in the future, based on feedback from aircraft devs.
See (upcoming) Wiki docs on the transponder for more info.
We have decided that hardcoded initialization of instruments and systems is
bad. So we remove them.
Hardcoded initialization is bad because it can't be overridden from config
files or from the command line. We prefer to do it through config files that
should be, eventually, aircraft specific (*-set.xml), not global
(preferences.xml).
I've made an encoder and a transponder. The transponder gets C-Mode altitude
information from the encoder. These two might not be very usefull right now,
but I think they might come in handy when the ATC network gets going.
