* Support for retrieving Canvas images over HTTP. This is a useful feature for displaying instruments like a PFD, ND, EICAS or any MFD externally from the FlightGear 3D main window in a separate window or on a separate monitor, computer or a mobile device. See [[Read_canvas_image_by_HTTP]] for more information. | * Support for retrieving Canvas images over HTTP.

== JSBSim == | |||
* The feature fail_hardover of the <actuator> component was not giving the correct output in some occurences when clipmax was smaller in absolute value than clipmin. | |||
* Tables CORNERING_COEFF could not be used for BOGEY contact points. | |||
* Bug fixes for JSBSim atmosphere model at very high altitudes | |||
* Fixed PID integration with the 3rd order Adams-Bashforth was inccorect. | |||
* The fail_stuck property of sensors (accelerometers, magnetometers, gyro, etc.) without a <lag> element was setting the output to zero instead of sticking to the last output value. | |||
* When a sensor was stuck, the drift, gain, bias and quantization of the last output before being stuck were ignored. | |||
* Fixed the Calibrated Air Speed (CAS) computations for supersonic velocities | |||
* Fixed the Nlf (Normal load factor) sign | |||
* Nlf can now be specified as an initial condition via the property ic/targetNlf | |||
* Added blocking sockets to the input features | |||
* Added a property to piston engines to get the AFR (Air to Fuel Ratio) | |||
* Added conversion from m/s to ft/s | |||
* Restored the initial conditions for engines running (-1 means all engines) | |||
