New in 0.9.5-pre1
* July 15, 2004
New in 0.9.8
* December 20, 2004
* Added an encoder and transponder to the available avionics modules.
* Updates to the AI traffic manager.
* Updates to the submodel system. This allows things like contrails,
payload dropping, projectile firing, and aircraft carrier landings.
* Added some controls for aircraft carrier operations.
* Updated to sync with latest JSBSim developments.
* YAsim adds support for contra-rotating propeller pairs as well as
crude models for ITT, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure in the jet turbine
engine model.
* Instruments, avionics, and subsystems are now configurable per
aircraft. You can assemble the correct componets available for each
particular aircraft.
* Updates to the wet compass to make it behave much more like a real
wet compass including various errors and motion effects.
* Make display list usage optional since these can be a net
performance loss on some older or low memory platforms.
* Make sound inaudible until after the scenery is loaded.
* Move radio stack and avionics code from cockpit library to
instrumentation library.
* Added several digital filters to the autopilot: exponential, dobule
exponential, moving average, and noise spike. These are available
to aircraft designers via the autopilot config file.
* Fix a crash that could occur when the joystick config specified more
buttons or axes than the physical hardware provided.
* Fixes to make FlightGear work with 16bpp visual depth.
* Various FreeBSD fixes.
* Various MSVC fixes.
* Various Mac OS X fixes.
* gcc 2.95 and 4.0 fixes.
* Updated aircraft: 737, A-10, AN-225, B-52, BAC-TSR2, Concorde,
Spitfire, BO-105 Helicopter, F-15 (updated flight control system),
Fokker 50, Fokker 100, Seahawk made carrier capable (working
arresting hook),
* New aircraft: Cessna Citation-II (wip), Beech 1900D, DHC-2 Beaver
(on floats)
* Updated KAP140 autopilot instrument (used in default C172.)
* Updated Nimitz model (aircraft carrier), updated radio tower models,
added Oracle head quarters to bay area scenery, added Dumbarton
bridge at the south end of the SFO bay, added a model of Alcatraz,
New in 0.9.6
* October 12, 2004
* Added some initial support for "submodels" which can be used to
impliment things like contrails, flares, tracers, etc.
* Make real world weather fetching a bit more robust and network friendly.
* Ensure the entire world is initially loaded before initializing the
flight dynamics (avoids wildly varying frame rates at a time when
the FDM might be trying to do various initialization steps that
might benefit from consistent and fast frame rates.)
* Other various (and minor) code cleanups, tweaks, and fixes.
* Fixed ATIS voice file.
* Updated aircraft: A320, Bo-105, Comper Swift, Concorde, F16,
Fokker-50, Fokker-100, Hunter, MD11, PC7, Spitfire, adjust
C172 cockpit sound levels, and Sgs-233.
* Updated joystick configs: CH pro yoke usb, Cyborg Evo, Thrustmaster FCS.
* Fix a bug in the nasal fuel tank management code.
* Return Canadian ILS's to nav data.
* Cleaned up some of the 3d models around the bay area.
* Add support for display list based rendering which yields
substantial performance gains for many systems.
* Synced with latest JSBSim code.
* Fixed a reference point bug in YASim.
* Revived the hi-res (tiled) screen shot code so you can again produce
insanely and arbitrarily large resolution screen shots.
* Beefed up the tile pager so it can more sensibly handle insanely
rapid motion.
New in 0.9.5
* July 29, 2004
* New AIModel based air traffic subsystem (Durk Talsma)
* Updates to the AIModel subsystem.
