There are a lot of changes to

so I'm not touching that.

Since I'm now official maintainer of the nav-radio (it's a rare honour), and feel a bit more comfortable with the code, I had a go at adapting one of the sport-model patches to current trunk. I haven't taken all the pieces, just a self-contained chunk that mostly makes sense to me.

Here's the patch:

Attachment: jd-loc-gs-fixes.patch
Description: Binary data




It adds false LOC and GS signals, a better GS deviation computation, and LOC sensitivity based on the runway dimensions. The last part I'm not totally sure about - it makes localizers *very* sensitive - maybe I've adapted the code incorrectly, but this doc:

        http://www.allstar.fiu.edu/aerojava/ILS.htm

indicates that at 10nm, the beam should be approx 1m (statue or nautical, I don't know) wide (with some variation for the runway aspect formula) - and it feels much, much narrower than that to me, though I haven't tested this rigourously.

Comments awaited with interest :)

James
