Here's an interesting copy & paste issue: the FG attitude indicator supports "caging" (button to force the attitude indicator to horizontal position, i.e. useful when it's broken or the indicator is tumbling). This is usually triggered by a push/pull switch next to the indicator.
The property to trigger the cage is named "caged-flag" (usually /instrumentation/attitude-indicator/caged-flag). According to git history, the property has always been named like this (at least as long as I could trace) and the name is consistently used in the sources. However, according to "grep", currently 26 of our aircraft incorrectly use the property "caged" (no "-flag"), so the feature isn't working for them. It seems the issue was copied from one aircraft to another - and either no one tested it, or thought the feature wasn't working anyway. It's not a major feature - but it's very easy to fix. I could apply a "batch patch" to fix the issue for all our aircraft in fgdata - but I know some authors prefer to fix things themselves. So, the list of affected aircraft is attached. All of these have references to "caged" (instead of "caged-flag") - which should be corrected. cheers, Thorsten Affected aircraft: 727-230 A24-Viking Albatross Allegro-2000 b26 b29 Carreidas CitationX cri-cri dc8-63 dc8-73 dhc3 ec130 ec135 ercoupe F4U Grob-G109 Grob-G115 Lancair-235 Lionceau pa22 Pioneer-200 Pond-Racer RV-6A Short_Empire Skyvan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
