Hi --
I cobbled up some XML code to implement an
interval timer
aka approach timer
aka stopwatch.
Having an interval timer is more-or-less indispensible for performing
certain types of instrument approaches.
The XML can be found at:
http://www.av8n.com/fly/fgfs/stopwatch.xml
This ought to work on most aircraft that have a clock based on the
clock.cxx backend.
My implementation is not terribly elegant, but it gets the job done well
enough to be perfectly usable ... and it was the best I could do without
being able to recompile clock.cxx. (The FlightGear package refuses to
compile on my machine, x86 Debian etch, so I'm stuck with precompiled
binaries.)
Anybody who wishes to make a more elegant interval timer is encouraged
to do so. It's really nice to have a good timer if you're doing anything
resembling instrument training.
