Actually I added the reset-after-crash to my OV-10 sim because it will be used
by the public, and they will crash often and not know why the crashed
airplane is floating under the surface of the earth. I added it to JSBSim,
thinking that nobody else wanted subterranean floating airplanes. Here's the
code location so you can remove it:
See source/src/FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx in the function named
copy_from_JSBSim(), at about line 848:
// force a sim reset if crashed (altitude AGL < 0)
if (get_Altitude_AGL() < 0.0) {
SGPropertyNode* node = fgGetNode("/sim/presets", true);
globals->get_commands()->execute("old-reinit-dialog", node);
}
It uses some pre-existing reset code that I found bound to a key in
keyboard.xml. It seems to work well here, although the report of
the /fdm/jsbsim property node being cloned after every reset is a problem.
You can comment out the code completely, or if you need lat/lon for the crash
site you can add that as console output in the above block of code.
I'll look into the node cloning today if I get a chance.
Dave
