Most people probably won't care to what level of detail the autopilot
functionality is mechanized in FlightGear. However, once a general purpose
heading A/P is crafted, or a wing leveler, etc., then those items as
specified in a configuration file could be reused. They could also be easily
tweaked.
This is what I dont understand what is wrong with the current system
which can do heading,V/S,wing leveler,vor/loc(nav),approach,and autothrottle
are these not accurate enough?.
Also how much more computing power will be required for what ever extra
detail may be involved.A 3D modeller would not even think of modeling the
insides of the engine or every rivit in the aircraft for the obvious reason that
the model would bring the computer to a halt.I am just wondering if this in
its own way is not doing the same thing.
Anyway the one question I would realy like answered is what is wrong with
the current system.If the answer is nothing then why change.
