According to the README.submodes, there is no tag <roll-offset>. I would
like to have something like this, since bombs in old fashioned American
bomb racks didn't hang straight. This is also true of some modern under
wing bomb racks. I'm sure there are many other applications.



Here are some other pie in the sky wishes to think about, but are not
what I would consider important:

wobble: Turbulence always created a little wobble in falling objects. It
would be nice if these object's had angular momentum and the angular
acceleration did a random walk around all three axis. Aero stabilized
objects would still be aero stabilized, but you would be able to see a
little wobble depending on how high this is set (see next). This would
be great for drop tanks without fins.

aero-stabilization: Currently it instantaneously points the object into
the wind. It would be nice if it were to calculate a moment based on the
air speed, and apply it to the angular momentum. This would allow
objects that are dropped while not aligned to the slipstream (think
he-111) to wobble around and find their proper attitude in a more
realistic way.

It would be nice to not to have to put a duplicate model in the .ac file
with all its select animations. I would like to just tell the system to
put a submodel somewhere on the plane, and then wait for the trigger to
become true before setting it free. I think somebody was thinking about
this since the <slaved> tag is documented as being reserved.
