Extend the canvas.Window class to create a simple window decoration
if a type for it (currently every type maps to the same style) is
given. It supports moving the window by dragging inside the title
bar and setting a window title.
- Fix bug when opening weather dialog when in manual mode.
- Move buttons to be opposite the appropriate radio buttons
- Keep buttons visible at all times.
- Update description to account for recent Basic Weather -> ALS integration.
These are then attached to buttons on the checklist dialog allowing
the user to ask the computer to execute the checklist step, which
they can observe.
State is saved to autosave.xml, and --disable-scenarios still avoids
loading any scenario at launch. At runtime scenarios can be added or
removed as normal.
Drive off the 'show view names' checkbox in the view dialog for now, this might
evolve into a generic 'on-screen hints' control to avoid an explosion of
GUI checkboxes.
Also add a GUI checkbox (oh the irony...) to disable mouse flight-controls, to
keep AndersG and Emilian happy.
This is temporary (hopefully!), to allow experimentation with different UX options in the near future. Right now it basically does nothing. As part of this, factor mouse-mode cycling into a separate command, and add some feedback. Feedback mechanism needs work, currently abusing the copilot facility.
Checklists may now be split into individual sections made up
of <pages> containing the <item> tags. Each page is displayed
individually with Previous/Next buttons to allow navigation.
Checklists items also support <marker> tags. These display
a marker when a ? button is pressed next to the checklist item.
The format is identical to that of the tutorial system.
Checklist items now support a <condition> element that evaluates
when the checklist item is complete, and is used to provide color
coding in the checklist dialog.
Fix bug 940, where GPS remains in active LEG mode when the route is cleared. (there is an associated flight gear code change). With this fix, the work-around in the GUI dialog is no longer required.
- first stab at refactoring the map.nas module, and trying to let the API evolve according to our requirements
- split up the module into separate files (some of them will disappear soon)
- split up the "drawing" loops into separate functions so that they can be individually called
- move actual "drawing" to map_layers.nas
- introduce some OOP helpers to prepare a pure Layer-based design
- prepare helpers: LayeredMap, GenericMap, AirportMap (TODO: use a real "Layer" class)
- move airport features (taxiways, runways, parking, tower) to separate layers (i.e. canvas groups)
- avoid using a single update callback and use different layer-specific callbacks to update individual layers more efficiently
- add some boilerplate hashes to prepare the MVC design
- allow lazy updating of layers, where canvas groups are only populated on demand, to save some time during instantiation, i.e. loading an airport without "parking" selected, will only populate the layer once the checkbox is checked
- extend the original code such that it supports showing multiple airports at once
- add some proof of concept "navaid" layer using SVG files for navaid symbols (added only NDB symbol from wikimedia commons)
regressions:
- runway highlighting needs to be re-implemented
- parking highlighting will be done differently
- enforcing a specific drawing order for layers is currently not explicitly supported, so that taxiways may be rendered on top of runways
Also:
- integrated with the latest changes in git/master (HEAD) -i.e. metar support
- further generalized map.nas
- partially moved instantiation from Nasal space to XML space (WIP)
- create "toggle layer" checkboxes procedurally in Nasal space
- prepared the code to be better reusable in other dialogs (e.g. route manager, map dialog etc)
- completely removed the "highlighting" (runway/parking) feature for now, because we talked about re-implementing it anyhow
- Change timer to listener for zoom level.
- Correct course information so it is the course TO the selected airport
- Default to the closest airport, rather than the preset.
- Display taxiways
- Display different surface types
- control over components (taxiways, parking positions, towers) displayed
- include distance and course to airport.
such as snow level, dust, wetness, and texture set.
Also add a parameter to control whether the snow level moves with METAR,
and retire /environment/mysnow-level-m.
