Currently, the environment subsystem manages the following properties:

/environment/visibility-m
/environment/temperature-sea-level-degc
/environment/temperature-degc
/environment/pressure-sea-level-inhg
/environment/pressure-inhg
/environment/density-sea-level-slugft3
/environment/density-slugft3
/environment/wind-from-heading-deg
/environment/wind-speed-kt
/environment/wind-from-north-fps
/environment/wind-from-east-fps
/environment/wind-from-down-fps

Many of these are alternative versions of the same thing; for example,
setting wind-from-heading-deg or wind-speed-kt changes
wind-from-north-fps and wind-from-east-fps, and vice-versa; setting
pressure-inhg changes pressure-sea-level-inhg; and so on.

In addition, the default environment controller uses these properties:

/environment/params/base-wind-speed-kt
/environment/params/gust-wind-speed-kt

I think that there's probably a clearer division here between base and
actual conditions -- like base-wind-speed-kt and gust-wind-speed-kt,
the *-sea-level-* properties are really configuration inputs rather
than actual current values, and all of those probably belong in a
separate tree.  Any suggestions for organisation?


All the best,


David
