The instruments can now be enabled easily for testing purposes:
simply toggle their "serviceable" properties:
/instrumentation/mk-viii/serviceable or
/instrumentation/tcas/serviceable
A GeoEventNotification can be used to notify all other MP craft (that are connected to the bridge) of AI objects or ballistic items that are present on the local player's machine. For example tankers, dropped payloads, missiles, carriers.
Changes
- Fix transfer string encoding for bridge. If the string contained untransmittable characters the length was wrong. Change to use the valid characters from BinaryTransfer.
- Fix bug transferring negative numbers.
- Add method to notification to provide the type key to be used to decide if a non distinct message should be added to the queue; rather than relying on the simple type.ident. This allows multiple notifications of the same type to be non distinct but also be transmitted
- Allow the maximum size of the mp string to be defined per bridge; rather than a system wide value. This allows the bridges to have their size tuned to match expected requirements; for example a bridge that is transmitting GeoEventNotification may need a lot more space than a bridge that is transmitting property sync notifications.
- Improve error message when out of space (due to the maximum string length)
- add trace option to bridges to aid debugging of transmitted values. This will produce verbose output.
- Add UniqueIndex to GeoEventNotification; to allow for multiple non-distinct notifications to be transmitted concurrently. This overrides the GetBridgeMessageNotificationTypeKey to include the UniqueIndex
Allow a MFD to be controlled via Emesary notifications (notifications.PFDEventNotification);
Notification needs to be constructed with the following parameters;
1 - MFD designation (text; name of MFD)
2 - MFD identity (int, id of the MFD within the model). Default 1; same as used when creating the MFD
3 - Event type (PFDEventNotification.SoftKeyPushed, notifications.PFDEventNotification.ChangeMenuText
4 - Event parameter.
a) for PFDEventNotification.SoftKeyPushed an int identifying the button
b) for notifications.PFDEventNotification.ChangeMenuText a hash array containing the menu ID and the new text (e.g. [{ Id: 1, Text: "NNN"}])
Method obj.PFD.RegisterWithEmesary(emesary.GlobalTransmitter) need to be called to connect the MFD to a transmitter
Change fonts; make use of the new feature to allow fonts to be specified using property from dialog xml.
Ensure that all fonts are defined within the style.

simgear::ResourceProxy has been renamed to
simgear::EmbeddedResourceProxy in SimGear commit
2200fad30ebfd68cefd461d5443b8612621b4643[1]. Adapt
Docs/README.embedded-resources accordingly.
[1] This was done in order to avoid confusion with the unrelated classes
simgear::ResourceProvider and simgear::ResourceManager.
This document (Docs/README.embedded-resources) explains how to use the
embedded resources system and presents SimGear's CharArrayStream and
ZlibStream families of classes, as well as the ResourceProxy class.
