I would like to be able to use the Slats, Spoilers, Speedbrake functions of the property tree but after a short play with the speedbrake function (ctrl+b) nothing seemed to happen.
Does all the properties in the property tree have supporting code eg:slats,spoilers, or are they there for future development.
The way it works now is that pressing ctrl+b set a property.
Then the FDM configuration file has to actually do something with that. For JSBSim something like this is needed:
<FLIGHT_CONTROL> <COMPONENT NAME="Speedbrake Control" TYPE="KINEMAT"> INPUT fcs/speedbrake-cmd-norm DETENTS 2 0 0 1 1 OUTPUT fcs/speedbrake-pos-norm </COMPONENT> </FLIGHT_CONTROL>
To see some moving parts in the aircraft's 3d model something like this has to bee added to the animation configuration file:
<animation> <type>rotate</type> <object-name>right_speedbrake</object-name> <property>/surface-positions/speedbrake-pos-norm</property> <factor>60</factor> <center> <x-m>14.97</x-m> <y-m>0.0</y-m> <z-m>0.0</z-m> </center> <axis> <x>0.0</x> <y>0.0</y> <z>1.0</z> </axis> </animation>
These are both part of the Fokker 100 model.
