The method horizon() returns the distance to the horizon, along earth
surface, starting from current location. The method
greatcircle_distance_to(A,B) returns the shortest distance to a great
circle passing by A and B, along earth surface and from current location.
Implement traffic in MapStructure and use it. Various other hacks and/or
cleanup. Feedback required on whether this is a lot better than before.
Also partially revert 9c018d94c4d88dad7476ec250fa3b52024526f4b to add
feature to geo.PositionedSearch: it me._equals is overridden then the
old mechanism is used instead of the new C++ function, so that the
custom equality can be used. (In particular for the Fixes with the
TrafficModel class).
- get rid of global variables and use instance variables
- identified all important drawing routines and move them into *.draw files
- changed to dynamic loading of *.draw *.model and *.layer files
- implemented poor-man's controller hash to move use-case specific conditionals out of the draw files, and back into the instantiation, i.e. Gijs' EFIS class
- started identifying stuff that is not specific to drawing, but to what is to be drawn, i.e. Model stuff - such as positioned queries, moved those out into *.model files
- some more work on supporting more than a single ND MFD instance per aircraft
- renamed a handful of SVG identifiers to avoid naming conflicts and to simplify usage of SVG IDs as member fields
- moved all of the setlistener setup out of the fdm-initialized stub right into the ctor of the Efis class (actually that's controller stuff...)
- initial MapStructure framework
- aircraft-agnostic NavDisplay class
- preparations for deprecating map.nas
- additions to canvas.map
- preparations for making NDStyles configurable via XML
with Coord.lat() and Coord.lon(), and because this is the preferable unit
in script space)
- add put_model(<path>, <coord> [, <hdg> [, <pitch> [, <roll>]]]) variant,
which takes a Coord instead of <lon>/<lat>/<alt>). Here's some inspiration:
setlistener("/sim/signals/click", func {
geo.put_model("Models/Fauna/cow.ac", geo.click_position(), 360 * rand());
});
- add put_model() function to place models at given lon/lat. If
elevation is nil, then it will be put on the surface. The path is
relative to $FG_ROOT.
- let geo.click_position() and geo.aircraft_position() return copies
of the Coord class, not just a reference
view.nas: adaptation for geo.nas change; minor changes
- simple geo coordinates class: geo.Coord with methods to set/get single
components, to apply distance/course and the get distance/course to other
coords
- functions that return click and aircraft position as geo.Coord
- function that returns tile_path for given lon/lat
- function that returns normalized angle (0 <= angle < 360)
