IT Autoflight: Difference between revisions

IT-AUTOFLIGHT Version 3.0 was a major update for the system. It had fixed all the stability issues from V2.10, and V2.11. It also moved the engage logic mostly to the <enable> in the PID Controllers. The active modes, however, are still controlled in the nasal file. The 2 nasal files merged into one, and the Autothrottle moved to a seperate XML file, so that custom autothrottle systems (like A320Family, and MD-88/90) can be used. You can now tune the controllers from the -set or -main file, and keep the ability to drop in updates, without needing to retune anything. It also includes a custom pitch system which used the elevator to set pitch, and the trim to keep the yoke as centered as possible. Version 3.0 also has a completely redone filesystem. All the properties are grouped, and renamed for easier understanding. Later on the FLCH controller was changed to 2 PIDs, for better control. VNAV is also in progress. Version 3.X will be the final version of IT-AUTOFLIGHT, as it will include all features of a current airliner Autoflight System. It is still in development at this time, so there is not much more to write yet.
