With apologies to Dave Perry, I think upon reflection (and converting some aircraft over myself), that waiting a bit longer here does make sense (hopefully not as much as a year), so I'l leave the current property alone for the moment and add a gs-needle-deflection-deg property alongside (and clamped). I'll still carry on fixing up aircraft in CVS, but this way we won't automatically break aircraft outside CVS when the next version is released. Equally, it's very clear that most aircraft developers copy-and-paste logic widely, so having CVS reflect best practice (or at least, correct practice) in this area seems wise. > As a > separate issue, there really needs to be a "valid" > flag, closely analogous to the To/Off/From flag > on theCDI. And I'll add a gs-valid prop too, which for the moment will simply be (has-gs && in-range), but which can be extended internally (when some of John Denker's fixes get merged) to drive instruments. As far as I can see, any instrument that needs to implement specialised parking behaviour can do it pretty easily using <select> nodes - in the worst case of instruments that display the GS needle centred with no valid signal, that's still achievable. Torsten, do you agree that's a reasonable solution? > The code I wrote in 2007 and rebased > in January 2009 has all these features. Great minds think alike!
