How to automate flight operations

[jonyMarino]

Hi!
I want to be able to execute flight operations for an airplane; it would be a way of automating things.
For example, having a trigger to start a takeoff or move to a point, or land in any order and number of times.
I guess scripts can be used for that. How? And in that case, is there any way to remove the execution time limit (end=...) from them?

Have you looked at some of the scripts that exist in the repo? Some of them demonstrate triggers etc.

is there any way to remove the execution time limit (end=...) from them?

Doesn't look like it's optional. So for now you'll need to add a very large number.

jsbsim/src/input_output/FGScript.cpp

Lines 134 to 139 in 5ac73c2

	if (run_element->HasAttribute("end")) {
	EndTime = run_element->GetAttributeValueAsNumber("end");
	} else {
	cerr << "An end time (duration) for the script must be specified in the script <run> element." << endl;
	return false;
	}

Out of interest what are you using JSBSim for? Is this for something AirSim related?
