Maik Justus:
I found a small conspicuity in YASim. The destructor of the fdm was
never called, therefore a modification of the heli fdm (not in cvs) did
not work after reset (I tie some properties and untie them in the
destructor, but the destructor was not called and the tieing failed
after reset. I don't know if any other parts of YASim need their
destructors, at least it wastes memory.
Another small fix I have made to the turbulence.cpp. The code needed,
that (a-floor(a)) is >=0 and <1. This is analytical correct, but
numerical only for "small" values. In normal fg-operation a in this
function is always small, but with unrealistic parameters in the
aircraft config file it is not and then fg crashes (instead a crash of
the aircraft or cataputling it far away).

AI Update:
- Ground network slow-down finally works as expected
(although occasionally causing a traffic jam)
- Hold position instruction now really sets speed to zero, in addition
it actually works now for crossing and two-way traffic
- Attempt to limit execution time of ground network trace algorithm
to make performance acceptable at high-density networks
- Removed remaining terminal messages
- Various minor tweaks and clean-ups

"Flightgear.py

the script to be started after five seconds of simulation file

- the section of code was changed to a pythonism as python does not
support do-while loops, instead you break out of a continuous loop.

A bug was discovered on IRC where an errant script was setting a nil
value on a property. This becomes a NaN when converted to a numeric
value, which then percolated into the C++ world where it ultimately
caused a crash in YASim's turbulence code. While converting nil to
NaN isn't *strictly* wrong, it's dangerous for this reason. Toss a
Nasal exception instead. Hopefully this won't break too much
preexisting code.

Major update of traffic manager and AI related airport facilities.
- Moved AIModels/Traffic Manager related AI functions to a new file
- Rewrote the traffic manager so that the containers use pointers to
objects instead of the objects themselves, which will allow for a
more flexible memory management.
- Rewrote parts of the airport groundnetwork code, also because the
stl containers now contain object pointers instead of the objects
themselves.
- Fixed an uninitialized iterator in the AI distance tracking code
- Fixed flawed logic in some of the traffic controller's while loops
- Added a tower controller, which paces take-off behavior of AITraffic
in a more realistic way.
- Various other minor fixes and fine tuning.
Adding some more intelligence to the AI system step 2: Added a system to
detect interfering taxi routes and added a "hold position" instruction to
make one of two conflicting aircraft wait until it's route is cleared again

Helicopter update from Maik:
More realistic calculation of vortices at the blades and therefore
real airfoil parameters can be used now (not to be mixed up with the
vortex ring state which is still not simulated), ground effect is now
continuous e. g. at buildings, calculating of the rotor in more than 4
directions, better documentation of the airfoil parameters.
- Well I finally licked it, the clipping works great now, in 16 and 32
bpp mode, on 2d and 3d panels.
- I tried glScissors, didnt work because clipping was done in screen
co-ordinates.
- Stencil buffer methods worked great for 2d panel, but messed up 3d
panels,(depth buffer problems I think), and only worked in 32 bpp mode.
- I then tried clip planes , and so far it appears to work with no
problem, and no framerate drop like I had with the stencil buffer
method...

Curt noticed a while back that YASim was producing alpha and sideslip
values that were angles between the aircraft's orientation and the
global velocity vector, not the airflow velocity. So the HUD velocity
vector was wrong when the wind was non-zero. Fix that.

If there is a windows problem, look very carefully at the line termination
with a serial port monitor. It should be \r\n (CR-LF), not \n, not \r\r\n
or any other possible variant.
