[Flightgear-devel] Re: [PATCH] [BUG] tmp-ly disable buggy mag compass jamming code
Thanks for applying the patch to the current code. I wonder what the jamming logic should be instead. Maybe check whether the angle between the cockpit Y axis and the resultant force presently acting on the plane is within some limit? I have no problem checking the angle above (based on the 3 /accelerations/pilot/[xyz]-accel-fps_sec properties); the question is, how do I get a realistic threshold value for jamming? (I don't remember any jamming from my real life flights anyway). Also, in a Cessna one can swivel the compass around the lateral axis; does it happen on other planes where it is installed? Do we want to model that? (that is just smth for future development) V. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
