Subject: Add the ability for the AI to tumble in extreme attitudes, if
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ad6236cbe7ae6d12842d4904cac5f899cd148435;p=flightgear.git

Add the ability for the AI to tumble in extreme attitudes, if

  /instrumentation/attitude-indicator/config/tumble-flag

is true.  The AI will take up to five minutes to reerect itself
completely.
