[Flightgear-devel] New features for the xml autopilot

2009-03-28 Thread Torsten Dreyer
I have just commited some code to extend the features of the xml-autopilot. While it is guaranteed 99% compatible with the old syntax (the missing 1% is not guaranteed and is just a security margin for me), it provides many new options for the configuration of the existing digital filters. Most
