I just discovered two rather funny things in the latest CVS code,
related to the visibility setting. I often change visibility with the
z/Z keyboard commands during flight to maximize framerate when I don't
need to see very far (short finals etc.). This, however, has two
unwanted side-effects -- first of all, it seems it has an effect on
the flight dynamics. I've seen this in the P51D and in the YF23,
haven't tried JSBSim aircraft yet. Every time I change visibility
quickly (say, 5 or 6 keypresses within about a second), the aircraft
gets a "kick from the side", which is rather awkward in a turn onto
final. The other weirdness is that runway lighting (at least on KSFO)
depends on this visibility, rather than just the time of day (maybe
that's how it should be?).
Thanks for the great work anyway, just thought I'd share my
observations.
