Rate Needles

Hi,

Here is release version 0.22-1 of sfsim.

I added rate pointers for roll, pitch, and yaw angles to the MFD. The pointers are arranged around the navball in the center.

• Top: roll rate indicator

• Right: pitch rate indicator

• Bottom: yaw rate indicator

See here for a detailed overview of the space shuttle primary flight display.

The rate indicators make it easier to control the attitude of the craft. Especially in orbit it is important to control the orientation, because there are no aerodynamic forces stabilising the angles of the spacecraft.

Let me know in the sfsim playtest discussion forum if you have any thoughts. Don’t forget to wishlist sfsim!

Enjoy!
