Description

Interface used to access the Climb and Descent Transitions options found in the Basic Acceleration Model of an aircraft.

Public Properties

IgnoreFPA	Opt whether to ignore the flight path angle.
ManeuverMode	Gets or sets the mode that the aircraft will adhere to the specified acceleration parameters. Scale by atmospheric density will cause the aircraft to consider dynamic pressure when calculating turn radius.
ManeuverModeHelper	Get the interface for the Aero/Prop Maneuver Mode helper. The maneuver mode must be set to Aero/Prop to access this interface.
MaxPullUpG	Gets or sets the force normal to the velocity vector used to transition into a climb or to a transition out of a dive into the next flight segment.
MaxPushOverG	Gets or sets the force normal to the velocity vector used to transition into a descent or to a transition from a climb into the next flight segment.

Configure the basic acceleration performance model of an aircraft

[C#]

// Get the acceleration type
IAgAvtrAircraftAcceleration acceleration = aircraft.Acceleration;
// Get the build in performance model
IAgAvtrAircraftBasicAccelerationModel basicAccModel = acceleration.GetBuiltInModel();

// Get the level turns options
IAgAvtrLevelTurns levelTurns = basicAccModel.LevelTurns;
// Set a max bank angle of 25
levelTurns.SetLevelTurn(AgEAvtrTurnMode.eTurnModeBankAngle, 25);
// Get the climb and descent transition options
IAgAvtrClimbAndDescentTransitions climbAndDescent = basicAccModel.ClimbAndDescentTransitions;
// Set the max pull up G to 1
climbAndDescent.MaxPullUpG = 1.2;
// Get the attitude transition options
IAgAvtrAttitudeTransitions attitudeTransitions = basicAccModel.AttitudeTransitions;
// Set the max roll rate to 25
attitudeTransitions.RollRate = 25;

// Get the aerodynamics
IAgAvtrAircraftAero aero = basicAccModel.Aerodynamics;
// Use simple aerodynamics
aero.AeroStrategy = AgEAvtrAircraftAeroStrategy.eAircraftAeroSimple;
// Get the options for the simple aerodynamics and set some parameters
IAgAvtrAircraftSimpleAero simpleAero = aero.ModeAsSimple;
simpleAero.SRef = 5;
simpleAero.ClMax = 3.1;
simpleAero.Cd = 0.05;

// Get the propulsion
IAgAvtrAircraftProp prop = basicAccModel.Propulsion;
// Use simple propulsion
prop.PropStrategy = AgEAvtrAircraftPropStrategy.eAircraftPropSimple;
// Get the simple propulsion options and set some parameters
