Spray density realism improved by using a curve for the density and permitting the trigger to be changed (default 0.2)
Touchdown smoke trigerred by WoW changing using the velocity as a factor and then using a low pass filter on this to fade out the smoke. This results in smoke for a brief period that appears to be more realistic. F-14 example: https://i.imgur.com/FkwgoYV.gifv
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.
- 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
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).
Patch from Michael Danilov: when auto-hide of the menubar is enabled,
tigger the hide when we enter (via tab) mouse-flight-controls or
mouse-look mode, since the menubar is not accessible in these modes
anyway.
Fix the created binding for toggle buttons.
Add autopilotDisconnect helper to controls.nas, and expose the new
function in the joystick configurator dialog.
Fixes from Henning Stahlke
Previously props.condition threw an error if any of the
properties in the condition were not defines. This is
contrary to the behaviour of SGCondition, which it seeks
to emulate, which considers such undefined properties as
having the value 0.0.
Now this is the case.
This function only appears to be used by tutorials.nas,
where this behaviour was seen as discrepancy between
the checklist <condition> behaviour and the tutorial
<condition> behaviour.
See https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/2394/?page=1
Use (!passive) instead of (passive == 0), so that passive == nil is treated as
0.
E.g. this allows keyboard control of autopilot target speed, heading and
altitude in harrier-gr3.
This change automatically changes the view direction to look
at a <marker> if any is defined for a checklist item or tutorial
step.
Both the tutorial and checklist features support a <marker> element
which can be used by an aircraft developer to display a magenta
circle around an item of interest (typically a control in the
cockpit).
Previously aircraft developers had to add a <view> element to move
the viewpoint to look at the marker, while users of checklists had
to look for the marker manually.
Now:
- For checklists, pressing the "?" button on a checklist will pan the viewpoint
to the marker.
- For tutorials, if there is not a <view> element defined for a
tutorial step, the view will automatically pan to the marker.
