UFO FDM patches from Jonathan Polley:

I have finished working the bugs out of my "Enhanced" version of the Magic
Carpet FDM.  The UFO FDM works the same as the Magic Carpet with the
following exceptions:

The aircraft's pitch is determined by the Elevator setting (with a pitch
rate of 45 degrees per second).
Climb is forward velocity * sin(pitch)
Speed is forward velocity * soc(pitch)

Roll is tied to the aileron (again, with a roll rate of 45 degrees per
second)
Turn rate is sin(roll) * 45 degrees.

Yes, this does mean that turning is quite a bit more sluggish than
climbing.

If you are wondering why a UFO FDM, it is because it's best that I not
replace the existing magic carpet and this FDM does behave like a UFO (it
hovers, can spin and pitch while hovering, and does not obey the laws of
physics ;)
