When holding the gear key or button down (as a kind of modifier) and after
left-clicking on the terrain, teleport the UFO to the click position.
Keep heading if no model is active, otherise look there. Keep altitude-agl.
(but disabled) by default. You won't notice any difference, unless you
place, let's say, an A-10-model.xml in the scenery. Some of the A-10's "select"
animations unselect the fuselage and other parts, when they thinks the A-10
is in cockpit view, not knowing that it's actually the *ufo*, which is in
cockpit view.
At the moment only the range can be changed via panel click action
(click on the range numbers). Weather radar can be turned on in
/instrumentation/radar/display-controls/WX. ai/mp display to come.
For those who miss the old 2D panel, just use an aircraft with a decent
panel and add --fdm=ufo for the same effect.
a cursor, after all, and the term "cursor" is already used for the startup
model. That one should really be called "model", but can't, because this is
already used for the ufo 3D model property ... sigh. :-]
- replace lon/lat adjustment with more predictable nearer/farther/left/right
adjustment (i.e. movements relative to the UFO position)
- add key bindings to move objects
- add status line (green: active model -- clicks will plant it;
orange: selected model -- adjustable/removable)
- make manually selected models active (that is: further clicks will plant
this model type); doesn't apply to automatically selected models (after
removing)
- cleanup
TODO: yet more cleanup, add missing terminal output, etc.
Implement simple help system with global and aircraft specific dialogs:
The gui.nas changes have been discussed with Andy. All ac have a help dialog,
but some are empty. (This wouldn't have been necessary, as the system falls
back to the "Common Aircraft Keys" if an aircraft has no help defined, but an
empty dialog is less confusing and encourages to be filled with interesting
information. :-) I scanned all aircraft files for interesting performance
data and added some to the dialogs (stall speed, etc.) The Concorde and the
p51d have (over?)complete dialogs and can serve as examples. The format is
documented in $FG_ROOT/Nasa/gui.nas.
There is also a couple of other, minor fixes.
The following files have ugly MSDOS line endings:
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/Hunter/hunter{-2tanks,}-set.xml
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/A380/A380-set.xml
The Concorde-jsbsim.nas file is a useless copy of the real */nas file, which is
in Nasal/. I'was debugging the Concorde and wondered why changes to this file
had no effect ...
(Fixed Concorde in the help-ac.diff patch: don't use "interpol" keyword as
variable.)
