flightgear/src/Instrumentation/heading_indicator.cxx
david 677c3e3e9a Added a Gyro helper class to factor out some common code for managing
a spinning gyro.

Changed FGInstrumentMgr to inherit from FGSubsystemGroup, greatly
simplifying the (already simple) class.  I should probably rename this
to FGInstrumentGroup or something similar, but not today.

Added the gyroscopic turn indicator (part of the TC).
