== Features == | |||
=== FDM === | |||
The initial FDM was created with the aeromatic tool from the JSBSIM website. The fine tuning of the FDM was done with data generated with XFLR5, a simulation tool for calculating performance data of aircrafts. | |||
=== Winch start === | |||
This model enables winch start by the "external forces" feature of JSBSIM FDM. Tow release will be done automatically at a certain position relative to the winch or can be done before by pressing W. | |||
# Ctrl-W creates a winch in front of the glider. The tow will be attached automatically. | |||
# w starts the winch. | |||
# W releases the tow (if not allready automatically released). | |||
=== Aerotowing === | |||
This model enables aerotowing by the "external forces" feature of JSBSIM FDM. | |||
# Ctrl-O searches for an AI-object with callsign "dragger". | |||
# o attaches the tow. | |||
# O releases the tow. | |||
=== Drag robot === | |||
There is a drag robot available. This enables aerotowing without another pilot flying the dragger. The robot can be created on any airfield. | |||
# D creates the drag robot. | |||
# d starts the drag robot. | |||
Be aware, that the drag robot does not automatically connect the tow. So, you can fire up the drag robot and stay on ground with the glider. To connect use the sequence for aerotowing after you have created the drag robot. Then start the robot. | |||
=== Water ballast === | |||
The glider is equiped with water ballast tanks. | |||
# T fills water into the tanks. | |||
# t toggles dumping water. | |||
