Hi all, I have just commited a pretty large commit for a new implementation of the autopilot subsystem(group). The reason for that was that the old way of having everything stuffed into one single source file of 1360 lines and a header file of 514 lines made working on this piece of code allways a little challenging. While at it, I replaced some design patterns to look a little more OO-ish and added some doxygen compatible comments to the class definition.
Every single algorithm should work as before and the xml syntax should be 100% compatible with existing configurations. Please note, that the former hard coded autopilot helper functions are gone now. These functions are now implemented as xml components within $FGDATA/Aircraft/Generic/generic-autopilot-helper.xml which is included in preferences.xml by default. Every property that existed before this change should be in place after the update. Because I touched at least 90% of all code lines, it is very likely that I introduced a new bug. Especially the build process was tested on linux only. I have no chance to test the build on Windows on OS/X. I have flown some aircraft to test the new implementation but certainly not all of them. Please give your favourite aircraft a test flight with the autopilot and report any failures.
