from its property tree. The node remains accessible as long as references
to it are kept. Example:
var cow_chain = func {
var cow = geo.put_model("Models/Fauna/cow.ac", geo.aircraft_position());
settimer(func { cow.remove() }, 10);
settimer(cow_chain, 2);
}
cow_chain();
the $FG_ROOT/Nasal/*.nas ones are done. This allows to use props.Node etc.
immediately, without requirement for settimer(func{}, 0) constructions.
Rationale:
- clean separation of local additions (and hacks :-) from standard files
- users might not have write permission to $FG_ROOT/Nasal/ or shouldn't
have to su to root for writing Nasal code
- Page up/down changes the selected throttles one step up/down, i.e.
if the original throttle settings were x steps apart they remain
steps apart (unless the boundary is reached).
- Mouse + MMB drag changes the selected throttles by the delta amount
(length of drag).
- The throttleAxis() wrapper for joysticks sets the selected
throttles to correspond to the joystick's axis position. I.e. all
selected engines will get the same throttle setting. Since most
joystick throttles are positional devices I think this behaviour
is more logical than using a relative adjustment in this case. """
mf: slightly modified, added var etc. (more such changes in controls.nas
to come)
other than Shift-SPACE or SPACE alone). The move to Shift-Enter was bad,
as all Return combinations are filtered by open dialogs with <default>
set. SPACE remains reserved for communication functions (PTT), though, and
the property browser will be moved away if more combinations are needed for it.
- some comments in the file head
- move "fire starter" from SPACE-key to s-key
- move "open property browser" from Shift-SPACE to Shift-Enter (Shift-Return)
- implement PTT on SPACE/Shift-SPACE (with the other six SPACE/modifier
combinations unused, apart from a popup)
- add controls.ptt(v) wrapper function (v can be 1 or 2 for on, and 0 for off)
Easter-Egg:
- pressing the t-key for at least one second resets the warp delta.
This is an experimental feature that most people won't notice. It's meant
for investigating if suchlike "unorthodox" key use is acceptable. While
modifier-keys are the norm on computer keyboards, modifier-times aren't,
although we are used to them from other devices, such as alarm clocks etc.)
May later get removed without warning.
A camera tool for making fgfs videos (heavily used by Michelle) and for
tracking MP and AI aircraft. It's planned to include this into the regular
ufo, but for now it's better to keep them separated. Comes with its own
panel, which (hopefully) is self-explaining.
Shouldn't be announced on the fgfs page as separate aircraft (if that's
possible). Work in progress ...
