Parachuters: Animate climbout procedure

[hbeni]

The weight transfer and additional drag is already simulated.

But it would be cool to visually see the parachuters climb out to the strut. Would also help to better prepare for countering inputs to the yoke/rudder.

For that to work the models need to be translated/rotated etc in a defined manner Should not be hard, but just alot of work.

Possible solution:

• nasal script to move the limbs etc?
• I think maybe i have seen somewhere different posture states that are interpolated and can be replayed one after another already. need to look at the wiki again).

Example: Jumping jacks for the walker? https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgdata/ci/next/tree/Aircraft/Generic/Human/Models/Animations/walker-jumping_jacks.xml

The Ramp Marshal has walker animation code in it that might be helpful. I was impressed by how well it worked for the arms.

Thx Wayne, will look into that
