It actually does solve issue 1164 (which I started).
When one switches to the next waypoint, the active leg course and x-track-error 
relate to the leg between the previous and active waypoint of the flightplan 
(as it should in LEG mode). Previously the leg (-course and x-track-error) was 
formed between the active waypoint and the position of the aircraft at the 
moment of switching.

The other stuff I asked Dirk to add as it makes our extra500 (GPSS) AP design a 
lot easier.

Cheers,

Eric

Great,.
And make the overflight sequence configurable for the aircraft. The default is 
the same./instrumentation/gps/config/over-flight-arm-angle-deg           
90/instrumentation/gps/config/over-flight-arm-distance-nm 
1/instrumentation/gps/config/over-flight-distance-nm             
0over-flight-distance-nm     : - distance to waypoint - overflight -> next 
waypointover-flight-arm-distance-nm: - distance to waypoint 
over-flight-distance-nm + over-flight-arm-distance-nm- overflight arms the cone 
over-flight-arm-angle-deg     : - the cone left/right from LEG pointing on the 
waypoint- when armed and the aircraft leafs the cone -> next waypoint. 
Great, although I do wonder if anyone will ever really adjust the cone angle. 
Doesn't do any harm though.
branche fix-issue1164 @ my 
clonehttps://gitorious.org/fg/dirks-flightgear/source/85592ec45db2866a15197c051d97cb4014537b4b:Who
 should I ask for merge ?
Me, only query is that the above don't really seem to relate to issue 1164, 
which is about initial behaviour of the GPS when entering leg mode away from 
the active leg.
Are you happy for me to pull from that branch to review, or would you rather 
send a patch, or make a merge request on Gitorious. All of those are fine with 
me, your choice.
