the fixes missing from FGDATA are:
- fixing the Portuguese and Spanish islands in the Atlantic (Madeira, etc.) which had been erroneously assigned to Africa given their proximity. Now they belong to European Mediterranean region, which makes them look better
- improvements to autumn textures in Europe
- huge improvement of the airport grasses all over the world, including hi-res overlays
- matching runway shoulders for the whole globe
- Asian capitals added to list of large cities so they get more density of road lights
- Emirates region
and possibly more.
Allow multiple, space-separated waypoint specifications to be added to a
route, rather than having to type each one and press the add button
each time.
If no waypoint is selected as the insertion point, show a message
and leave the waypoint input intact, rather than just clearing it.
Update the help label to reflect the change and include a note of how to
create offset waypoints using a radial and distance.
At the suggestion of Gilberto AGOSTINHO, add
button bindings for throttle, mixture and prop
to the joystick configuration dialog.
Specific use-case is users of game-pads, but also
useful to users with a single throttle axis on their
joystick.
This follows from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.games.flightgear.devel/78650 and
resolves the sign bug https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/1778/ .
