[Jsbsim-devel] Reference Manual Update

[Jon S. B. <js...@ha...>]

I've updated the piston engine case study in the online reference manual
(see the link on the home page at www.jsbsim.org). The case study is going
into great detail on setting up a wing leveler PID controller and how to
tune it.

Comments welcome.

The piston engine case study is great. Details of the wing leveler PID
controller are really very instructive.
I only suggest to add a small tip: when spreading a long command line down
to several short lines in a shell script for DOS (under Windows), the line
continuation is "^" instead of "\" as in unix style systems. This should
save some time to those working under Windows (the time I invested in
discovering that today :)  ).

The case studies are going to get even better in the coming weeks/months.
I'll try to post an updated Ref Manual in the next 12 hours.

[Jsbsim-devel] Flight Path Deviation

[James K. <Jam...@ve...>]

Hi there,
 
I was just wondering does JSBSim calculate flight path deviation in any
accessible format, I need to show this on a Gui and wondered if the
information is already there before I re-invent the wheel :-)
 
Many thanks for any help

Flight path angle and drift angle are calculated.  But things like
glideslope deviation and localizer deviation are not as navaids are outside
the scope of JSBSim.

This is true. However, one could either generate simulated navaid parameters
in a script or in a <system> declaration, couldn't they?

Possibly.
