Information

This class is made for the GliderTow example to switch between the reference trajectory commands given to the glider autopilot. The boolean signal sent from the TowingRope will trigger the switch from the common commands given for both aircraft to the commands given only to the glider. The reference altitude and track signals are delayed by the time from simulation start until the rope release through the time signal also sent from the TowingRope.
