Add floats option #452

Open hbeni opened 3 years ago

There are C182's outside in the world with floats, so we should have them too! (Probably most of this can be borrowed from the c172 project)

But then please as seperate -set.xml. It was wish by the core developers (Espcially Stuart Buchanan) some time ago, that such heavy modifications needs a seperate set.xml. I also think it is easier to maintain

Can we inherit from the default c182s-set.xml, so just the floats stuff needs to be added? (EDIT: Yes) I would define it as variant, so it is not showing as new plane.

And I think that this separation also will help with framerates :) :+1:

Drawback is that we can't switch in flight then.

I currently hacked up experimental code, mostly C&P from the C172. So far floating on water seems to work, but alot tedious optical things still need to be done:

I will push shortly. Currently I'm out of luck and nerves :) Maybe someone more capable than me can pick this up as a starter.
