Has a note saying 'May need restart to take affect' because it seems that
shadows never work unless enabled on startup. Note that the property setting is
persisted.
This change automatically changes the view direction to look
at a <marker> if any is defined for a checklist item or tutorial
step.
Both the tutorial and checklist features support a <marker> element
which can be used by an aircraft developer to display a magenta
circle around an item of interest (typically a control in the
cockpit).
Previously aircraft developers had to add a <view> element to move
the viewpoint to look at the marker, while users of checklists had
to look for the marker manually.
Now:
- For checklists, pressing the "?" button on a checklist will pan the viewpoint
to the marker.
- For tutorials, if there is not a <view> element defined for a
tutorial step, the view will automatically pan to the marker.
Show number of errors separately, don't override status if there are a non-zero
number of errors - this was unhelpful if we've managed to resume after errors.
New dialogue is accesible from the File menu.
Allows enable/disable of three new features: multiplayer record, continuous
record and recovery snapshot. Also moved load/save tape from the file menu into
the new dialogue.
Also removed recently-added flight recorder items from the multiplayer dialogue.
The recovery snapshot interval is 1s second if enabled. Might be better to make
it longer, e.g. 5s, but don't know how to change checkbox value.
Previously a completely new PFD or MFD was created when the Debug
menu items were used. This cause significant slowdown if used
multiple times. Now we just create one instance of each and re-use it.
Also clean up redundant code in the GUI.
Adds standard view option to enable pilot models.
Set /sim/rendering/pilot-model/available=true in aircraft
using pilot models.
/sim/rendering/pilot-model/enabled is used by users to
enable/disable the pilot models from the View Options dialog.
Note that pilot models are only visible for non-internal views.
Previously the Select Airport dialog set
the heading preset to 0. A recent change in the
reposition code meant that this was now being
complied with. This change fixes it by setting
the heading to the "uninitialized" special value
of 9999.0.
Checked by default. If unchanged, cursor keys are ignored instead of panning
the map; e.g. this allows them to be used with autopilot.
This requires associated flightgear commit.
Previously on the first call to display an FG1000 PFD/MFD from
the Debug menu worked, because only one index was used, which was
subsequently deleted when the window was closed.
Now a new PFD/MFD instance is created each time the Debug menu is used.
This isn't ideal, and probably exposes Nasal memory issues if used
many times, but is fine for the moment.
METAR description is too big to fit in 'Weather Conditions' window.
Also moved the description of item selected in the popup (Live data, Manual
input, ... etc.) so it is immediately below the popup. Used to be the other
side of the METAR info, which was a little confusing.
