Andrew Tridgell a90182b9d8 APM: fixed throttle nudging
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.

This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

Andrew Tridgell b2a74951d1 APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling

Andrew Tridgell 12c5e00db9 APM: added XTRK_MIN_DIST option
this allows you to disable crosstrack correction on short legs

Andrew Tridgell 332ad921cc APM: added new TELEM_DELAY parameter
number of seconds to delay telemetry
2012-08-30 08:59:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3f54b83238 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

Andrew Tridgell 9cf8cc590f APM: added XTRK_USE_WIND parameter
when enabled this will use the wind estimation code to adjust the
navigation bearing, allowing the navigation code to cope with much
higher levels of wind while using a compass

Andrew Tridgell efee2b1557 APM: added LAND_FLARE_ALT and LAND_FLARE_SEC
these allow you to configure the altitude and time before touchdown to
flare the plane and lock the heading. Useful on larger planes.

Andrew Tridgell 6e46db39a1 APM: Added STICK_MIXING option
