Implemented a documentation compiler, initially for Aircraft
Forum thread: http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=25119
The documentation compiler will iterate over all Aircraft and generate
LaTeX files for each aircraft. It will then compile them to a pdf. Please
refer to the forum thread for an example of such a pdf file.
It will also generate a separate pdf file just for the checklists.
Currently, the compiler uses the checklist files and additional files in a
Docs/ subdirectory of the aircraft.
To use this script, you need python > 2.7 and a recent version of pdflatex
with hyperref support installed.

F-14 V1.2c
Fixes for carrier startup;
1. Handle the moving carrier; as the main reposition always starts from the published position. So what we do is the first time record this offset; then find the carrier and reposition on cat based on this offset. This doesn't work well for moving carriers; but that's not currently possible anyway.
2. Activate after position finalized
3. Add properties to disable special handling.
4. Added useful buttons for launch/approach carrier reposition and setting the carrier tower.
Fix the ARA-63 to work correctly with TACAN carrying craft (tankers) that aren't carriers.
High speed/altitude tuning
1. Tweak high altitude afterburner thrust table; The original ab table was identical to the turbine (milthrust table);
2. Tuning of the high speed mach drag to meet published figures of performance (not many)
3. Change Sweep factor to affects lift/drag;; with the revision to move aerorp-x with mach it isn't right to adjust the other coefficients.
This is based on investigation and testing and it is probably better than before; but until definitive performance data is available for validation it is simply the best I can do with available data.
Tune contact points for less dramatic spinning crashes.
Weight on wheels required for squealing; use correct property for rollspeed-ms.
Tuning for approach and landing (hook, flaps, AoA and undercarriage positioning)
1. Move VRP and fix the geometry of the landing gear (and contact points) together with the 3d model so that the compression is right (the compression-norm from JSBSim is actually compression in feet - so scale in the model).
2. Fix the high pitch touchdown so that the tail doesn't appear to go underground.
3. Use the correct position for the gear relative to the model and move the tanks to realign the CG
4. Add movement of the centre of pressure (aero reference point) due to mach number
5. Tuning of the lift/drag/pitch moment coefficients for flaps and slats.
6. Fix the position and attachment of the hook so that it works better and drags along the ground correctly.
Use wheel velocity to determine if squealing (not groundspeed otherwise will squeal on deck of a carrier)
Fix lighting over MP and replay.
Taxi light wasn't being transmitted over mp (The generic (multiplay) for lighting/radar/broken wing weren't stored in replay)

based on real F-14A data. There are 63 distinct detailed aerodynamic coefficients)
* High alpha handling - including dutch roll and control reversal as described in the pilot's manual
* Accurate stalls, spins, and other departures (including flat spin)
* Wing sweep (20-68) has aerodynamic effect
* Gear effects on aero (pitch, lift, drag)
* Flaps (pitch, lift, drag)
* Wing sweep (including manual sweep). Sweep interlocks are correctly modelled so when deploying flaps
aux flaps can only be used below 22deg of sweep; otherwise up to 50degrees the main flaps can be deployed.
At wing sweep of more than 55 degrees no flaps are available.
* CADC Maneuvering flaps / slats (again modelled on best available aero data)
* Differential spoilers accurately modelled - so at high alpha or high wing sweep roll
rate is reduced (spoilers only effective up to around 10degress AOA; and less than 55deg wing sweep)
* Electrics system model (Mainly for JSBsim)
* Hydraulics systems (Mainly for JSBsim)
* F110 engine performance remodelled (data from NASA-TM-104326)
* Contrails from the wings at high alpha subject to atmospheric conditions.
* AFCS tuning; the altitude hold is implemented in the CADC model; the normal autopilot is used for heading and throttles.
* Added smoke generator (ground services dialog)
* Added the option for an extended HUD with option for correctly modelled F-14B HUD
Data sources:
* AFWAL-TR-80-3141 Investigation of High-Angle-of-Attack Maneuver-limiting factors

* NASA TN D-6909 DYNAMIC STABILITY DERIVATIVES AT ANGLES OF ATTACK FROM -5deg TO 90deg FOR A VARIABLE-SWEEP FIGHTER CONFIGURATION WITH TWIN VERTICAL TAILS
Sound
* Engine noises made from 5 components (intake, N1 whine, N2 whine, efflux, Augmentation);
* JFS
* Landing gear touchdown and skidding
* Bump / rattle noises based on what's happening with the gear strut compression.
* Flap & Gear extended wind noise
* High alpha vortex noise
* Flap & Gear extension reworked to something that is more hydraulic sounding.
* Canopy open / close
* Wind noise
* Gear wind noise
* Flaps and airbrake wind noise
* Ground bumps and ratlles
* Scrape / fuselage contact
Systems
* Auto wing sweep now in FDM for improved fidelity.
* SAS (roll, pitch, yaw in FDM)
* Engine quickstart from menu
* Predefined fuel loads added to external loads panel together with showing the CG%.
* Can do in cockpit engine start
* ARA-63 carrier landing system; support for civilian ILS
Aircraft 3D model:
* Added NASA 834 livery.
* Wingtip contrails at high alpha
* Engine contrails reworked slightly
Cockpit additions
* Master warn panel with working indications for engs, fuel, hydraulics, electrics.
* Engine control panel (crank, ramps, rudder trim switch )
* Elevator / Rudder and spoiler gauges now connected to surfaces.
* Oil pressure gauges
* Connected elevator & rudder position gauges to surfaces
* Fuel cut off on glareshield works (need this for engine start)
* In cockpit engine start & shutdown possible.
* Anti-Skid / spoiler brake switch connected
* EGT display correct for F110
* Hydraulic pressure gauge
* Hyds transfer panel
* Master generator control panel
* ARA 63 panel
* Master test panel
Fuel
* Moved fuel tanks so that the CG% is roughly correct and generally within the range of the pilot's manual.
