::Well, Benedikt, I don't think that anyone will read this here. The talk page is thought for dicussions about the wiki entry itself.
::Better put it in the main article of the C182S, maybe under a header called "upcoming new features" or something like that.  I plan to fix the engine perfomance today, and then put all of the changes to FGAddon. Then we can put also an entry to the Newsletter.
::Thanks for all our work on C182S! :-)

::::Oh okay, i did not want to put it to the main page until the changes made it into release. What do you think, should we try to tag relevant issues in git to coordinate a new release? I did found some minor things today that i will want to fix for the next release...

::::: Today I have added the current master branch to FGAddon, but we can add more if we want, any time.
::::: So I think your list here fits much better in the newsletter section, informing all users about the update of the C182S.
::::: Especially your state support, how to use it and the detailed engine startup should be mentioned
::::: I have added a feature list to the main page based ony your list here, and it is quite impressive.
::::: Thanks for all your work!

== --state support ==
Another stub for the new wiki update:
Currently [https://github.com/HHS81/c182s/pull/234 Experimental --state support] is beeing added.
This supports the following states:
* <code>--state=auto</code> Automatically set state depending on position (in-air=cruise; parking=parking any other=take-off).
* <code>--state=parking</code> Cold-And-Dark as well as secured to ground; before preflight checks.
* <code>--state=take-off</code> Ready for Takeoff with engine idling.
* <code>--state=cruise</code> Engine on and set to cruise (use with in-air-start)
* <code>--state=approach</code> Engine on and set to cruise (use with in-air-start)
With an in-air-start, airspeed gets initialized to 100kts unless otherwise specified >0 (e.g. <code>--vc=5</code>).
Examples:
*'''Approach to EDDM:''' <code>fgfs --aircraft=c182s --state=auto --airport=EDDM --offset-distance=6 --altitude=3500 --timeofday=noon</code>
*'''Power-off Approach to EDDM:''' <code>fgfs --aircraft=c182s --state=take-off --airport=EDDM --offset-distance=6 --altitude=3500 --timeofday=noon</code> (engine idles; <code>--state=arking</code> state gives the funny experience of gliding with all <s>hope</s> power lost and blocked pitot)
== Newsletter update ==
I made an entry in the newsletter: http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Newsletter_February_2018#Cessna_182S
Hope you like it :)
We can remove this discussion page if you like, all is done.
