RE: [Flightgear-devel] how to find remaining fuel

2005-02-04 Thread Innis Cunningham
Hi Jon Hope this is concise enough. There is no total fuel onboard property as far as I am aware. In other words there is nothing that adds the contents of each tank to give a total fuel property. All that is needed is something that adds the total of all the tanks and outputs it as a property.Now

Hi folks, I've run into a tricky problem when using stl map, and am hoping someone might be able to point me on the right direction. I have a map of airports, indexed by string, which is the ICAO code: mapstring, ARP* apt_map; Now, I want to emulate the 'search ahead' function of GPS code

With JSBSim, you could write a property interface manager for these guys that replaces the internal internal fuel/weight managers you have right now. If you wanted, you could actually write property listeners to override the current property nodes and wire their get/set operations directly

I found time this afternoon to refresh my memory about how the fuel stuff works. The FDM reads these properties to determine the amount of fuel in each tank. YASim uses this only for computing the inertia tensor and total aircraft mass, it doesn't care about fuel per se.
