I have a simple update to Protocol/playback.xml. It
improves on the existing version by recording flight
control surface, airspeed, engine RPM and gear status.
It makes for quite nice demoes, though I've only
really tested it with the C172, Hunter and Concorde.
The proper file ( the one with axis assignment set correctly for all OSes ) was too quickly removed, certainly because of its -win suffix.
I merged the good things in one file, discarding the problematic ones.
This adds a TACAN instrument to the inventory. Range and bearing are calculated
to the TACAN or VORTAC beacon selected by means of the Channel Selector in the E
quipment/Radio pull-down menu.
A TACAN beacon has also been added to the aircraft carrier Nimitz (channel #029Y
).
Initial revision. This is the only joystick that the Walmart next to my
house is selling. (What are you going to do?) Buttons 2 and 4 are still
unmapped awaiting any good suggestions.
gear movement. gearToggle() was sending either a 0 (not handled) or a 1.
Change gearToggle() so it sends either -1 and 1 so gearToggle() will work
again.
Changes
=======
- shadowvolume.cxx, renderer.cxx :
- reduced the polygon offset a bit to eliminate some artifact ;
- changed again the cleanup code for objects inside a tile because it could crash on rare occasion ;
- the culling of shadow casters has been rewritten to traverse the scene graph, it should be
a bit faster when there is a lot of objects ;
- the range selector was not correctly handled, sometimes the wrong LOD was casting shadows.
- added the option to display aircraft's transparent objects after the shadows, this will
reduce the problem of shadows being hidden by the transparent object (propeller disk,
rotor, etc). A side effect is that aircraft's transparent objects won't receive shadows
anymore. This is usually a good thing except when the aircraft use a 'transparent'
texture where it should not. A transparent texture in the plib context is a texture
with an alpha channel or a material with alpha <= 0.99.
- model.cxx, animation.cxx, shadowvolume.cxx :
- added an optional <condition> under the <noshadow> animation
- tower.cxx
- correct a rare bug where all occurences of the aircraft are not deleted from the
departure list causing a crash in FGTower::CheckDepartureList function.
