This is the initial commit for a reworked environment controller.
The main intention is to decouple the individual modules like
metar fetch, metar properties, environment interpolation etc.
to make it easier for other weather module developers to modify
environment settings.
As a side effect, the dialogs for weather-scenario, weather-conditions,
clouds and precipitations have been merged into a single dialog
split AI carrier options to its own menu
moved "advanced" menu items to Debug
removed several redundant items
rationalised the placement of some items
started adding keyboard shortcuts
TODO: reinstate AI Scenario menu item (position to be conmfirmed)
get feedback
add more : keyboard shortcuts
- Multiplayer is too long for a menu entry that is greyed out most of
the time for many people
- I don't like having the word "player" in front of me all the time
(FlightGear Is Not A Game[TM] :-)
Should we shorten it further to just "Net"?
These are then skipped with view.stepView(n), unless the second, optional
argument is set to 1: view.stepView(n, 1);
Whether a view is enabled or not, is saved in $FG_ROOT/.fgfs/autosave.xml
(system views) or $FG_ROOT/.fgfs/aircraft-data/<aircraft>.xml
- allow turning on/off extra widgets for developers (HUD dialog: colors,
rendering dialog: visualization of shadow edges), and to turn on/off new
- property key handler ('/'-key)
Both features are off by default, and their state is saved to autosave.xml.
/sim/current-view/dynamic-view. There are additionally <dynamic-view>
settings per view, but those only enable it for that view if it's
globally turned on.
gui/menubar.xml: Tim Moore:
These patches implement a command to dump the entire OSG scene graph as
a .osg text file. While large, this allows debuggers to really see
what's happening in the scene graph.
$FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/tutorial.xml. It combines the former selection
and description dialogs, which makes browsing much more pleasant.
No more switching back and forth between the two old dialogs. Also,
the <list> box can handle a bigger number of tutorials than the
<combo> box could.
- remove comments from the top of tutorial.nas. The documentation is
now $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.tutorials
