Create Alternate Static Source knob and static system #741

Create Alternate Static Source knob and static system. This will involve:

Edit: it can't, apparently. Any suggestions as to how to do it?

This is a long-standing problem. IIRC some jsbsim suggested that you can write to the input and the output properties of the integrator component [that does something with the cabin heat property] at the same time. I think I've tried that once and couldn't get it to work. Also, you need to write after the weather system has initialized.

So currently we just set it to 0 because a user can spawn anywhere on the planet where the temperature will be between -30 and +30. 0 is a compromise and after a couple of minutes the cabin heat temperature will have adapted to the environment temperature.

This is waiting for James to fix the vertical speed indicator which does not work with any non-standard static source.

And that issue is now fixed so I can restart work on this.

Does this involve any 3D modelling or is it just a system implementation? If it involves 3D modelling then I would suggest to first wait for the mesh cleaning to be over, since blend files do not play fair with git.

Just system - the model and all are there already, it just presently does nothing!

Great!
