Howto:Add blackout and redout settings

This is how to add blackout and redout settings to an aircraft. These settings will determine when the view will start to turn black or red and when it will be fully black or red due to g-force .

Involved properties

Blackout and redout are controlled through these properties in /sim/rendering/redout/:

• enabled (bool)
• parameters/blackout-onset-g (double)
• parameters/blackout-complete-g (double)
• parameters/redout-onset-g (double)
• parameters/redout-complete-g (double)

These proprties can be controlled at runtime or be added to any PropertyList XML file, for example an aircraft-set.xml or your own configuration file.
