Member Data Documentation

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myMaxTurnRateCutoffAngle

protected

Parameter Name: max-turnrate-cutoff-angle
Parameter Description: Specifies the turn angle (in radians) at which the entity will turn at its maximum turn rate.

The maximum turn rate (as specified by the fixed-wing entity pitch-rate parameter) is used at or above this angle. For turns that are less then the cutoff angle, the turn rate decreases linearly and proportionally to the ratio of the turn angle to the maxTurnRateCutoffAngle.
Parameter Default Value: .52 (30 degrees)
Parameter Units: radians

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myMaxTurningGs

protected

Parameter Name: max-turning-Gs
Parameter Description: Specifies the maximum acceleration, measured in Gs (9.8 m/s**2) that the pilot controller will allow in a banked turn.

Parameter Default Value: 9.

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myMaxTaxiingTurnSpeed

protected

Parameter Name: max-taxiing-turn-speed
Parameter Description:
Parameter Default Value: 10.

Parameter Units: meters/second

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myMaxPitchAngle

protected

Parameter Name: max-pitch-angle
Parameter Description: Specifies the maximum pitch (in radians) that the pilot will use to climb or dive to reach the desired altitude.

This is independant from actual aircraft capabilities.
Parameter Default Value: .78 (45 degrees)
Parameter Units: radians

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myAtTime

protected

Parameter Name: at-time Parameter Description: The entity is considered to be at its goal when it will be at the goal in less than this value based on its current position and speed.

Parameter Default Value: 2.0
Parameter Units: seconds

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myNearTime

protected

Parameter Name: near-time
Parameter Description: The entity is considered to be near its goal when it will be at the goal in less than this value based on its current position and speed.

Parameter Default Value: 5.0
Parameter Units: seconds

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myTaxiingAtDistance

protected

Parameter Name: taxiing-at-distance
Parameter Description:
Parameter Default Value: 1.

Parameter Units: meters

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myTaxiingNearDistance

protected

Parameter Name: taxiing-near-distance
Parameter Description:
Parameter Default Value: 25.

Parameter Units: meters

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myTaxiingApproachSpeed

protected

Parameter Name: taxiing-approach-speed
Parameter Description:
Parameter Default Value: 2.

Parameter Units: meters/second

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myTimeToTargetAltitude

protected

Parameter Name: time-to-target-altitude
Parameter Description: This value is used to calculate the desired climb/decent rate of the plane.

The pilot controller will attempt to use a climb/decent rate which will reach the target altitude in the number of seconds specified here. The entity's max climb rate will be used if it is smaller than this value. Smaller values will cause more aggressive climb/decent rates.
Parameter Default Value: 4.
Parameter Units: seconds
