- landing slope/curve library removed
- flare curve removed (the position setpoints will not be tracked during a flare, and were being ignored by open-loop maneuvers anyway)
- flare curve replaced by simply commanding a constant glide slope to the ground from the approach entrance, and commanding a sink rate once below flaring alt
- flare is now time-to-touchdown -based to account for differing descent rates (e.g. due to wind)
- flare pitch limits and height rate commands are ramped in from the previous iteration's values at flare onset to avoid jumpy commands
- TECS controls all aspects of the auto landing airspeed and altitude/height rate, and is only constrained by pitch and throttle limits (lessening unintuitive open loop manuever overrides)
- throttle is killed on flare
- flare is the singular point of no return during landing
- lateral manual nudging of the touchdown point is configurable via parameter, allowing the operator to nudge (via remote) either the touchdown point itself (adjusting approach vector) or shifting the entire approach path to the left or right. this helps when GCS map or GNSS uncertainties set the aircraft on a slightly offset approach"
Remove params from airframe configs that are just set again
to the param default value or to the value that is
specified in the mc_default, fw_default or vtol_default.
