- 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.
Avoids loss of control caused by movement of mouse while paused, if in
flight-control mode.
The new behaviour is enabled by default.
It can be disabled by manually setting
/sim/freeze-mouse-flight-controls-on-pause=false. But note that this property
is deliberately not archived so this needs to be done each time Flightgear is
run.
This property is set to false by ATC-ML, which then breaks tower view in
subsequent fligtgear runs for all aircraft It's tricky to figure out what has
happened, so best to not archive the setting in the first place.
gui/dialogs/multiplayer.xml: added checkbox.
defaults.xml: default /sim/mp-carriers/auto-attach to false with
userarchive="y".
Multiplayer carrier auto-attach is implemented in
fgaddon/MPCarrier/Systems/MPCarriers.nas.
defaults.xml
Set new property /sim/mouse/mouse-rudder-elevator to false, but with
userarchive="y".
gui/dialogs/input-config.xml
Added checkbox to control /sim/mouse/mouse-rudder-elevator.
mice.xml:
Allow mouse control of elevator with button 0 down if
/sim/mouse/mouse-rudder-elevator is true.
- Remove all Compositor Effects and Shaders.
- Unify the low-spec and ALS pipelines in a single pipeline called 'Classic'.
- Readd shadow mapping.
- Move the WS30 Effect and fragment shader out of the Compositor-specific directories.
Control the order in which fgdata/Nasal/*.nas files are loaded
on startup.
Previously all the files were loaded in order based on filename.
This was problematic for aaa.nas which might want to call
props.getNode(), and generally resolved by using
_setlistener("/sim/signals/nasal-dir-initialized")
This change allows us to configure a list of Nasal files that are
loaded first on startup - loadpriority.xml.
Adds standard view option to enable pilot models.
Set /sim/rendering/pilot-model/available=true in aircraft
using pilot models.
/sim/rendering/pilot-model/enabled is used by users to
enable/disable the pilot models from the View Options dialog.
Note that pilot models are only visible for non-internal views.
