The transponder instrument MUST be named "transponder" in the instrumentation
file to work with multiplayer and the radio dialog.
Thanks to lens(at)bitwisetech.com for the report and patch.
- Making run_tests accept a target namespace as an argument.
- Fixed asynchronous trigger callback mechanism.
MCBF triggers working again.
- Fixed numerical problems when calculating standard deviation
for rand triggers.
Includes a simple automated testing framework for Nasal
(Aircraft/Generic/Systems/Tests/test.nas) and a collection of unit tests
for the failure manager, mostly for the different triggers.
Replaces existing Nasal/failures.nas script with a programmable failure
manager. The failure manager allows dynammic creation and removal of
failure modes, on demand activation and a flexible set of triggers.
The public interface can be found in Nasal/FailureMgr/public.nas
Aircraft/Generic/Systems/failures.nas provides a library of triggers and
failure actuators ready to use for programming the failure manager.
A compatibility layer is included under
Aircraft/Generic/Systems/compat_failure_modes.nas.
This compatibility layer is currently loaded on startup and programs the
FailureMgr to emulate the former behavior (same set of failure modes and
compatible interface through the property tree).
This first milestone is only intended to replace the failure management
engine underneeth with minimum visible changes, and hopefully no aircraft
breakages. Future milestones will build upon this to add a Canvas based
procedural GUI and example integration on aircrafts.
All reviewed aircraft now support total energy compensated variometers and
reuse a common implementation. The following issues have been addressed, either
explicitly or as a benefit from the integration:
+ Fixed incorrect variometer readouts at sim/speed-up values != 1
+ Fixed erratic instrument behavior after pause and reinit
+ Reworked all vario needle animations to be smoother.
+ Fixed ASK13 yaw string. Now it deflects to the correct side.
+ Added temperature and (fake) battery readings to ILEC SC7 digital variometer.
+ Fixed ILEC SC7 sign readout (didn't show the minus sign).
Note: The ASK21 models have not been integrated, as they will need a more
profound cockpit overhaul.
A Nasal library for implementing instruments that are specific for soaring.
This version supports:
+ Total Energy compensated variometers
+ Netto variometers
+ Relative (aka Super-Netto) variometers
+ Configurable dampener for simulating mechanical needles
+ Averager
+ Speed to fly computer
+ Speed Command variometer
+ Yaw string (it's an instrument, isn't it?)
