The version using knots is still todo.

I have recreated the dial in Inkscape but I couldn't find the exact instrument this was modelled on. Might want to model a particular version of this ASI, with the official Winter logo, etc. But I think it's good enough for now. Feel free to start on the version in knots if you want, just let me know so we aren't duplicating work.

FYI the ASI markings are printed on page 12 of the ASK21 manual.

But why do we have an automatic release angle of 90°, shouldn't it be more like 70°?

viktorradnai commented 7 years ago

With a back release angle of 70 or 80 degrees I had the cable backrelease when I was just about established in the climb, with the nose at about 45-50 degrees up. No idea how this happened, either the calculation is wrong or my winching technique. But the problem goes away with 90 degrees while still backreleasing when on top of the winch. Try it and tell me what you think.

For me the cable never releases automatically at all, not with 90 nor with 70

You'll need to either build Flightgear from Git or with for 2017.1 -- I've added that feature as it was missing from YASim :)
