[Crrcsim-devel] Updates to src & models

[<luc...@li...>]

Dear developers,

I've recently pushed a few updates, the most significant are:

1) Reactivated the change of resolution under Win32
- This is working fine on windows xp and is quite useful since it allows 
redimensioning the windows size while running.

2) In F3F mode, converted the option to "extend bases to the top" into "show 
bases planes" which shows semi-transparent planes to mark the position of the 
bases while flying.
- I've found this very helpful since bases are often out of sight.

3) Updated flap & spoiler model in fdm_larcsim and updated documentation.
- Now spoiler can generate a pitching moment (still not used by any airplane 
model, so far) and flaps may become progressively less effective at large 
deflection (i.e. flap contribution to lift, drag and moment may be non-linear). 
This is applied in the updated Wasabi model, where large flap deflections are 
used as landing aids.

4) Updated Wasabi model parameters and created the new model Pilatus B4 2.6m, 
which try to accurately mimic the properties of the model produced by Graupner-
Tangent.
- While working on the B4 model I noticed a few problems in a few other models 
and spent some time checking practically all the glider models available. The 
results are a bit disappointing and have been commented in a new documentation 
file "Evaluation of glider model parameters realism", in folder 
documentation/models.
- Due to really wrong parameters used in practically all the F3F/F3B models 
I've removed the Crossfire, Erwin & Skorpion models (which actually were all 
using the same flawed FDM) and added a new "Generic F3F" model, using the 
appearance of the three model above but with a more proper FDM and three 
selectable wing load.
- For similar reasons I've also revised the original Pilatus B4.
- I invite you to experience the effect of the changes, for Pilatus and F3F.

All locale except IT need a few updates.
Additionally, do you think it might be time for a new release ?

Best regards and happy flying,

Luca
