b) FDM - ada.cxx, ada.hxx have been updated with the faux, daux and iaux arrays that you created in flight.hxx. In Flight.hxx I use the get_V_north_rel_ground() set of functions. Please do not comment them out. If you dont comment them, you dont have to forcibly return zero vale to get_Vx(),get_Vy() & get_Vz() in cockpit.cxx.
a) HUD - Here is the updated hud code with moving pointers, dials, turn/slip gauge, choice of circular ticks, two sizes for fonts, box for text labels etc. based partly on MIL-STD-1787b and our pilots requirements. Our pilots are not very enthusiastic about all symbols discussed in MIL-STD-1787b (I suppose it is very subjective) and so I did not have motivation to try all of them. Even now I plan to do simple symbols as seen on Russian aircraft since our Air Force pilots are familiar with them. That should be part of my next update. I have included a html document which is basically the old text file plus some snapshots with all possible hud symbols linked to corresponding xml templates. You have to just cut & paste the template, change names and positions to create additional symbols (if you have the real estate on the hud).

- some code rearrangement for readability and maintainability
- commented out some destructor code that's causing crashes
(temporarily creates a minor memory leak, triggered only when
reloading the panel)
curt [Fri, 3 Aug 2001 00:19:03 +0000 (00:19 +0000)]
- added support for conditions in FGBinding
- switched to a vector of binding pointers, to avoid copying
- removed FGBinding copy constructor implementation

- changed comments to proper doc formatting
- added support for conditions and group layers
- have all panel components but FGPanel itself derived from
FGConditional
- implemented DME ETE and speed
- modified DME distance to return nautical miles rather than meters
- modified to use /panel/dme/switch-position to select DME frequency
- catch sg_exception instead of sg_io_exception
- use guiErrorMessage
- added new properties /sim/view/pilot/x-offset-m,
/sim/view/pilot/y-offset-m, and /sim/view/pilot/z-offset-m to
control pilot-position offset from CG
Make the tile loader more tolerant of situations where the cache is full,
but no entries qualify for removal. It will keep trying to schedule the
tile(s) until an entry frees up. Entries in the cache do not qualify for
removal if they are in the process of being loaded.
Nuked the segfault on exit bug everyone was seeing. The material lib could
have multiple ptrs to individual entries (aliases) but the destructor was
trying to delete every ptr so it would delete already freed memory for aliases.
I implimented a simple ref counting scheme (similar to the plib mechanism) to
track references to material lib entries and only "delete" them when the last
reference is removed.
- modified set_V_(north|east|down) to use set_Velocities_Local, so
that overrides in JSBSim will work (i.e. properties can be set)
- modified set_(u|v|w)Body to use set_Velocities_Wind_Body, so
that overrides in JSBSim will work (i.e. properties can be set)
- removed /controls/brakes/all property (no longer needed, since we
can bind a single input to multiple properties)
Made the following properties archivable:
- /controls/aileron
- /controls/elevator
- /controls/elevator-trim
- /controls/rudder
- /controls/flaps
- /controls/throttle[*]
- /controls/mixture[*]
- /controls/propellor-pitch[*]
- /controls/brakes[*]
