Translations/default/menu.xml
defaults.xml
Added /sim/video/ items.
gui/dialogs/video.xml
New, allows one to select the video container, codec, quality, speed and
bitrate to be used when encoding videos. Radio buttons are provided for
common containers and codecs.
gui/menubar.xml
File menu now has 'video start' and 'video stop' items, plus an item that
opens new 'video control' dialogue. [We use menu items for video start/stop
to minimise the visual affect at the beginning and end of the generated
video.]
- The G-Buffer layout has been redesigned to be 96 bits per pixel. There are 24
unused bits that can be used for extra material parameters later (like
clearcoat).
- Add better debug views for the G-Buffer.
- Use octahedron normal encoding. This yields the same results as the previous
method but uses 16 bits less.
- Use rg11fb10f for the environment mapping cubemaps.
- Tweak the shadow mapping parameters and add a colored debug mode.
- Only render shadow maps for objects that inherit from model-default.eff or
model-pbr.eff instead of having a fallback Effect. Now transparent objects
should be ignored (if they are marked as such with model-transparent or
similar).
- Remove the separate occlusion texture. Now the PBR Effect expects a single
texture where R=occlusion, G=roughness and B=metallic.
Uses new property /sim/controls/brake-cancels-parking-brake.
Default is true; it is expected that some aircraft (e.g. p51d) will set this to
false so they can implement their own brake/parking-brake interaction.
Should address bug 2589.
There aren't any mechanisms in the C++ side to handle custom settings yet, so don't use graphics presets unless the user enables them explicitly through a command line option.
There are a lot of towers that are at the same altitude as the airport; this is clearly a lack of data. Also there are some towers that are ludicrously high (e.g. KLSV). This commit defines a reasonable minimum and maximum values for tower altitude; together with a default altitude which will be added to the airport elevation when the tower altitude is outside of these ranges (above airpot altitude).
/sim/time/frame-time-offset-ms
and set it to non archivable.
this prop is used to delay the time we start a fg loop if we are using the throttle frame rate,
this allow a better master-slave relation as the slave can be run a little after the master.
linked to a28bf28ee089e53a1790d222c02dd2963a76dd85 and 7dfbcf091880ab9d9ed24917f50e1b1920c6a811 in flightgear.
- All non-ALS Effects have been removed (except generic ones from model-default and terrain-default).
- The rendering dialog has been reworked to accomodate the changes.
- All necessary properties have been added to graphics-properties.xml
- Five graphics presets have been added: Minimal, Low, Medium, High and Ultra.
- Some unused properties have been removed from defaults.xml
A forum user suggested making these auto-saved, also relocated them
under /sim/gui which probably makes more sense since no other gui
properties live at the root.
E.g. for recording a group flight, significantly reduces recording size because
user aircraft signals info is very detailed compared to multiplayer packets.
This view is like Helicopter View except that it does not change the view
heading to match the aircraft, which makes it work much better for vertical
flight, e.g. with the shuttle.
The new view is disabled by default.
Nasal/view.nas
contains the new view config.
defaults.xml:
Added view 8 to list of views for which we default to Helicopter view's
target offsets (so that they look at the centre of the aircraft).
Configure the VPB elevation mesh via properties:
/scenery/elevation-mesh/sample-ratio controls the elevation
mesh sampling, allowing reduction in mesh size
/scenery/elevation-mesh/vertical-scale is just for fun and
scales the mesh vertically making mountains taller.
/scenery/elevation-mesh/constraint-gap-m controls how much below
airports etc. elevation vertices are forced to be.
