FlightGear - Flight Simulator FGAddon

Extra500: version 2.1.0

Lockheed1049h version 2.8: Improvements to autostart and automated checklists

* Use Aircraft/Generic/autochecklist.nas for autostart
* In-air starts use no wait mode for faster startup
* Ground starts distinguish between terminal and runway start
* Add brake check to checklists from operating manual
* New shortcut Ctrl-L to run after landing checklist

Lockheed1049h version 2.7: Shortcut keys and dialog set autopilot modes independently

The Lockheed1049h autopilot, as controlled by the cockpit model, does not
have independently selected lateral and vertical modes. When the autopilot
is on, both the vertical and horizontal axes are controlled by the autopilot.

When using shortcut keys and the generic autopilot dialog, Flightgear pilots
are used to being able to set modes independently, e.g. Ctrl-H to switch on
heading hold only. This change allows that to happen at the expense of a
consistent and realistic state in the cockpit autopilot.

Citation II version 3.0: add a keyboard shortcut to toggle auto-coordination
for cross-wind landings.

The new major version number is justified by the following features that have
been added since 2.0.1:
* ALS cockpit shadows (break compatibility with FlightGear <= 3.4)
* Front and aft baggage compartments with animated doors
* Many new working circuit breakers
* Electrical switches, working voltmeter, amp-meter
* Starter disengage
* ZVK500 GPS unit removed, would cause precipitation inside the cockpit
* Assorted minor bug fixes and improvements

JA37: Version 3.023
HUD: Possible fix for track type not matching.
Sim: Fixed roll and heading A/P.
Aero: Added recoil from cannon to the plane.
HUD: Fixed that selection distance and callsign would blink if it was not target or diamond.
Engine: Full thrust will now kick in at 90.0% throttle.
Engine: Afterburner will now kick in at 94.0% throttle.
Sim: Doubled max climb rate for A/P around Mach 1.
Engine: Set the thrust levels in newton as per JA-37Di manual as that is primary source.
GUI: Fixed a calc error regression in turn radius calculation for monitor.
Sim: Made a n2 below 15 give less pressure per rpm as opposed to 18. Will help to give control of plane if engine cuts out.
Sim: Set normal hydraulic pressure to 2987.7775 PSI, and minimum to 1131.2944 PSI as per manual.
Sim: The fuel gauge will now go over 100% if droptank is full in addition to internal tanks.
Sound: Made low speed warning.
GUI: Added option for cannon spread or not.
GUI: Added option for annunciation.
Sound: Added master warning.
Sim: Made master warning work properly with button that silence.
Aero: Lowered static friction on all gears to help with crosswind landings.
Aero: Lowered maximum nosewheel steering at 20 fps to help with turning stability.
Engine: The afterburner now has 3 zones as per manual. Throttle position 94% = stage 1, 96% = stage 2, 98% = stage 3
Model: The nozzle indicator now switch to show zone of afterburner when that is enabled.
Model: Added augmentation zone indicator.
Effect: Made afterburner flame size reflect afterburner zone.
Engine: Changed idle rpm to 57% as per manual.
Engine: Changed idle thrust to 3kN as per manual.
GUI: Made a systems monitor.
GUI: Added density, wind, alt, temp, pressure to performance monitor.
Sim: Fixed the shaking when using heading or wing leveler A/P.
Sim: A/P speed now use indicated airspeed instead of real airspeed. And minor chnages to how it works.
Sim: Allowed A/P to climb faster at 0.30 mach.
Sound: Made sound reflect the new afterburner zones.

Lockheed1049h version 2.6: Autopilot shortcuts consistent with cockpit controls

If any autopilot mode is selected via keyboard shortcuts or the
generic dialog, the autopilot should respond as though it had been
switched on using the autopilot switch.

Lockheed1049h version 2.5.4: Use chart light for OH panel and engineer controls

Chart light now illuminates backplates and switches on overhead panel. Also
engineer's controls. Instrument light reserved for instrument faces and
radio panel digits.

Path fixes for the AC3D files of the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 DHC8-Q300.

Basic maintenance to allow the Dash 8 DHC8-Q300 to fly again.

For discussions, see the development mailing list thread at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.games.flightgear.devel/77686 and the forum post
at http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26080. This fix was first
reported at http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=24305#p222293.

The fix is to delete one line of broken and non-functional Nasal code.

Citation II: close all doors and prevent their opening when groundspeed > 10 kts
