1a6a1a6436 first stab at generic dynamic view handling; can be turned on/off via menu
entry "View->Toggle Dynamic Cockpit View" entry; state saved to autosave.xml;
there are no configuration parameters yet, but the default values work for
most aircraft; exceptions: ground steering effect of jsbsim aircraft is
jittery; yawing effect on big aircraft is too abrupt. This needs to be
configurable.
Suggestions for improvements are welcome if they are bundled with a
working diff that actually proves the claimed advantages.   :-)

4a0b56deb3 - now that XML dialogs run their own Nasal namespace and have <open> and
<close> block, remove autopilot helper file autopilot.nas and (re)implement
  its functionality in autopilot.xml
- make AP dialog "bidirectional" and "live": all input fields are <live>
  (i.e. they are updated as the autopilot settings are changed, for example
  by panel actions or property browser changes)
- dialog input is only forwarded to the AP; no direct checkbox/radiobutton
  handling through widget operation, instead:
- changes to the AP properties operate checkboxes/radiobuttons

This makes the AP dialog always reflect the AP state. If the AP refuses
one setting and sets it back to something else, then the dialog will
immediately react and show the actual setting.

9d2216d5bc Stuart BUCHANAN: make adjEngControl() only work for selected engines
mf:
- some minor modifications to Stuart's version  :-)
- select all engines per default. This may seem less realistic (who starts
  all engines on the b29 at once?), but it'll prevent oodles of bug reports.
  And those who want it realistic shouldn't rely on engine 1 being selected
  by default, anyway, but rather actively select every single engine.
  Also: this new behavior is in line with the original intentions (see cvs
  log to preferences.xml -r1.51)

8a3d81fe0e Architectural fix allowing the "tip" popups (FOV, view name, etc...)
to pop themselves down while the simulator is paused.

The problem was with the "real time" queue in the event manager,
causing the third argument of Nasal's settimer() (a flag for "sim
time") to be ignored.  Inverts the default sense of the argument, as
there are lots of uses of settimer() in the current code, almost none
of which want to use real time.

Note this fix introduces a header file incompatibility in SimGear --
be sure to update.

ec8742bd65 Melchior FRANZ:
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.)

7eb3327565 Melchior FRANZ:
Changes:

o new skids (yet again)
o sun shield for the panel
o beautified exhausts
o new door handling:
  "d"      ... toggle selected door (default: pilot door)
  "D"      ... select next door (indicated with popup)
  "Ctrl-d" ... remove selected door if opened (all bo105 doors can easily
               get removed in RL; it is even flown without doors!)
o dropped shadow boxes (once necessary workaround for the disappearing
  shadow problem, and the reason why the bo105 was so tiny in fgrun)
o automatically selects the emblem of the national Red Cross/Red Crescent
  society on startup
o 5 variants, that can be switched at runtime, with different emblems,
  colors(!), and extra equipment:
  "c"      ... switch to next variant
  "C"      ... pop-up material dialog, as a demonstration of the new
               "material" animation, well ... and for entertainment
               purposes  :-)


The bo105 was and is a testbed for the "material" animation. It uses one to
change a texture at runtime. This has the advantage, that only the currently
selected texture uses up memory (unlike the textranslate method), and it
saves a lot of disk space because it doesn't duplicate all textures (unlike
the current <texture-path> method. You can change the texture in the browser:

  http://localhost:5501/sim/model/bo105/material/emblem/texture
  (choose one of: emblems/{red-cross,red-crescent-[lr],star-of-life}.rgb

(the built-in property browser doesn't grok it, because I used quite long
path names. Needs to be fixed in the GUI.)

I suggest to add the material.nas file to the global Nasal/ dir, not only
because the bo105 update expects it. The Nasal module creates a dialog for
material editing, which is quite useful for development purposes, for gaining
better understanding of the OpenGL color properties, and finally: it's fun.

   http://members.aon.at/mfranz/material.jpg  [45 kB]

The dialog needs to be initialized with a property dir where material
redirects are placed. It isn't available from the menu, but may be useful
for other aircraft. Also, it's quite small and doesn't get in the way.
If people want it removed, I can still move its contents into bo105.nas.
The bo keyboard binding says:

   material.showDialog("/sim/model/bo105/material/fuselage/", "Bo105");

This is documented on top of the *.nas file.

Here are some updates to the KAP140 autopilot in the default c172. It now uses
ailerons and elevator instead of aileron-trim and elevator-trim. I've started
to "upgrade" it to the "two axis altitude preselect" version. Vertical speed
select rounds to nearest 100 fpm.

I've also modified the c172 electrical configuration to turn on the gps
instrument.

Perhaps the most important change is that the nasal script for the KAP140 has
moved from data/Nasal to the c172p aircraft subdir. So it is important that
you delete data/Nasal/kap140.nas. Having the kap140.nas script as a global
script was not a good solution. Now it is aircraft specific, and thus
included in the c172p-set.xml file. Ideally I would like it to be instrument
specific, so that it would be included whenever the KAP140*.xml instruments
where included on the panel.

a20598d0fd Melchior helped to debug this via chat. Turns out to have been a
typo; the SimGear "pass subproperty as first argument" shortcut
doesn't work in Nasal.  This checkin is blind, but should have a high
probability of correctness.

I'd like to suggest that the spoiler settings are set in the same way as the
flaps are now done i.e. via Nasal, so that specific spoiler settings can also
be defined in the aircraft set file.

It was only when I was about to change the keyboard bindings for the slats
control that I remembered that there wasn't already a mapping for them in
keyboard.xml.  I've _not_ added a mapping for slats as this is a bit of a hot
topic atm but as I had already added a Nasal func for the slats in
controls.nas I've left that in there.  It's a trivial bit of code but I don't
know if leaving it in there is a good idea as it's code that shouldn't ever
be called until there's a corresponding keyboard mapping.

42cd87bbfe The cached tip dialog broke when layout management went in (previous
x/y/width/height values went into the calculation for the next popup,
and things got iteratively worse due to padding issues).  But the
good news is that this whole subsystem is vastly simpler when
implemented with the new interface.

Here is the KAP140 Two Axis Autopilot update.

I think it's fairly complete now, all the modes are working. I tested the
localizer and glideslope hold and it was pretty stable all the way down to
the middle marker.

In the pilot guide for backcourse hold (REV) mode it says to reset the heading
bug to the _front course_. I haven't figured out how to implement this so for
the time beeing one should reset the heading bug to the _backcourse_. Apart
from this the panel should operate identical to the way the pilot guide
describes.

Here is the KAP140 Two Axis Autopilot.

Aircraft/Instruments/KAP140TwoAxis.xml
Is of course the instrument config file.

Aircraft/Instruments/Textures/KAP140.rgb
The texture.

Nasal/kap140.nas
Most of the work is done here. Without Nasal I don't see how I could implement
the NAV-ARM modes and the flashing annunciators.

Aircraft/c172p/Systems/KAP140.xml
The autopilot PID controllers configuration file. Maybe this file should be in
a more accessible directory and not hidden deep inside c172p!?

I've also attached the changes to the default C172 to include this autopilot
in the 3d-cockpit panel and the 2d vfr panel. Or at least I hope that I've
managed to include all that is needed.

449c7bf7ef Oops. A last minute change broke piston engines. The "phantom" fuel
tanks created by the C++ code look empty, and were causing the fuel
code to detect out of fuel conditions.  Since there is no way to tell
a "FDM" tank from a "C++" tank, I just filter them by capacity.  Very
ugly hack, we need to fix the code to report only the tanks created
by the aircraft/FDM configuration.
