==== Flight Director ==== | |||
The following shows how to implement a flight director with ITAF. | |||
The bars should be shown when /it-autoflight/output/fd1 or fd2 is true (1). When all autopilots and flight directors are off, some computations are turned off or synced. As a result, only display the bars when the flight director is enabled. | |||
;Dual Cue: | |||
The pitch bar should be translated vertically based on /it-autoflight/fd/pitch-bar, which is in degrees. Positive is upwards. | |||
The roll bar should be translated horizontally based on /it-autoflight/fd/roll-bar, which is in degrees. Positive is to the right. | |||
;Single Cue | |||
The pitch bar should be translated vertically based on /it-autoflight/fd/pitch-bar, which is in degrees. Positive is upwards. | |||
The roll bar should be rotated based on /it-autoflight/fd/roll-bar, which is in degrees. Positive is to the right. Ensure that the rotation is done AFTER the pitch translation. | |||
