       Name: ProcessLanding (Part 4 of 7)                            [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Flight model
    Summary: If we are taxiing with the undercarriage up, restrict pitching
  Deep dive: Take-offs and landings
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: No direct references to this subroutine in this source file


 If we are taxiing with the undercarriage up, then if the plane is pitching
 forwards into the ground, the plane is made level and all pitching is stopped.


                        \ If we get here then we are on the ground but the
                        \ undercarriage is up

 LDX landingStatus      \ If bit 7 of landingStatus is set, skip the following
 BMI clan6              \ instruction

 ASL landingStatus      \ Shift landingStatus left by one place

 LDX xRotationHi        \ If the high byte of the plane's rotation in the x-axis
 BPL clan8              \ is positive, skip the following

 LDX #&EA               \ Set (xRotationHi xRotationLo) = 0 to set the plane to
 JSR ResetVariable      \ the horizontal position (i.e. zero pitch angle)

 LDX #&00               \ Set (xTurnTop xTurnHi) = 0 to stop the plane turning
 JSR ResetVariable      \ around the x-axis (i.e. stop the plane pitching)
