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 for this task. (Note that the flight command controller, which implements fly-heading tasks, does not use this parameter).
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.

DtRwBoolean DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myTerrainAvoidanceEnabled

protected

Parameter Name: terrain-avoidance-enabled
Parameter Description: If true, the pilot will attempt to avoid the terrain even if the desired path would intersect the ground. This functionality may be disabled by other means even if it is enabled here. Turning it off here will prevent it from being enabled elsewhere.
Parameter Default Value: True
Parameter Units: Boolean.

DtRwReal DtFixedWingPilotControllerDescriptor::myTerrainAvoidanceMaxLookaheadTime

protected

Parameter Name: terrain-avoidance-max-lookahead-time
Parameter Description: Number of seconds the pilot will look ahead for terrain collisions when avoiding terrain. This value will be smaller in some circumstances, based on the task being performed, but will never be larger. Parameter Default Value: 30
Parameter Units: Seconds.
