"/sim/signals/fdm-initialized" triggers _every_ time the FDM is reset,
so for every sim reset/relocate.
We need to uninstall the listeners after its first execution, or guard
certain parts of the initialization, to avoid starting multiple
"timer/update loops", or installing multiple property listeners.
Repeating "sim reset" often enough would eventually completely block/
overload the system.
Need to clear the engine list before appending a new set of engines.
Engine list was growing on every FDM reset, causing weird control effects
after (multiple) sim resets.
Use --prop:/sim/rendering/shaders/quality-level=-1 to enable the custom
settings in the Shader Options dialog.
Apart from that the quality-level property will work as before (0 disables
all shaders, 5 puts all shaders to max.
A bug in weather-utility.nas caused constant computation
of wave parameters due to the fact that the wind speed
was ignored.
That code was ugly anyway, so it has been replaced by
property rules which don't create work for the nasal
garbage collector.
All required properties for the wave shader are now in
interpolator.xml, the snow-line computation lives in
metarinterpolator.xml
Do not install another set of listeners on _every_ sim reset.
Also improve performance by removing a listener for a property which is
written in _every_ loop anyway (don't waste another Nasal context).
(Do we really need a _Nasal_ loop running at full speed just to convert
a bunch of properties? It increases the load on the Nasal GC and
is unconditionally active, even if all shaders are disabled etc).
- Now enabled even when no MP settings configured on command-line
- Add Server Status button to launch the MP Server status URL
- Minor layout cleanup.
Make vspeed/diff_norm configurable. Allow effect to be independent of
vspeed, so it works for all gear (after main gear touch down, vspeed is 0,
so smoke effects for nose-gear usually wouldn't work).
Removing the currently unused keybindings for [Shift]I used
for cycling of HUD types. Also remove this from the help
dialog.
May be re-added for the next release, but currently there is
no HUD-type cycling implemented.
fixes for a couple of issues, some improved textures/cloud model changes,
smooth instead of hard visibility transitions, updated documentation.
Also removed 'Test' entries from the menu.
(ThorstenB: Also cleaned-up Docs/ folder, moving local weather
documentation images to sub folder).
