Description

Interface used to access the Level Turns Transitions options found in the Basic Acceleration Model of an aircraft.

Public Methods

Set the level turn mode and corresponding value.

Public Properties

BankAngle	Get the bank 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.
TurnAcceleration	Get the turn acceleration.
TurnG	Get the TurnG.
TurnMode	Get the turn mode.
TurnRadius	Get the turn radius.
TurnRate	Get the turn rate.

// 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

// 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;
