I created a substantial quantity of new work in the New Regional
Textures project and I would like to ask if anyone could review and
perhaps commit them into FGDATA. The modifications are:
- New textures and material definitions for California
- New textures and material definitions for Mexico
- New material definitions for Central America
- New textures and material definitions for Southern Europe
(Mediterranean region: Portugal, Spain, south of Italy, Greece, coast of
Balkans)
- New airport grass texture (global)
- New airport grass texture for Latin America
- New American town texture (global)
- Small improvement to grass blade textures (to better fit the airport
grass texture)
If this will be committed, we must add a note thanking the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) for the satellite images of California (
http://www.usgs.gov/ ) to the Thanks file.
Fix the main bugs, add features and convert most of the layers.
Move/refactor some things as well. Add a canvas map dialog next to the
built-in one -- it's not 100% functional but it's quite close actually.
As before, the excitement has been taking place at our team clone.
https://gitorious.org/fg/canvas-hackers-fgdata/commits/0b4cc84
(topics/canvas-map-dialog branch this time, current HEAD in above URL.)
Implement traffic in MapStructure and use it. Various other hacks and/or
cleanup. Feedback required on whether this is a lot better than before.
Also partially revert 9c018d94c4d88dad7476ec250fa3b52024526f4b to add
feature to geo.PositionedSearch: it me._equals is overridden then the
old mechanism is used instead of the new C++ function, so that the
custom equality can be used. (In particular for the Fixes with the
TrafficModel class).
Make fdm listener single-fire, don't listen to /sim/signals/reinit. This
allows the Canvas to stay with the same placement through reinit, after
both the 777 and 747 were having problems. I don't see any reason for
having to recreate it all, and the cleanup function is still there (e.g.
for independent windows, to have their .del() call the ND's .del()).
renamed handle_reinit() -> del()
This also makes sure the /canvas/by-index/canvas[3/4]/ nodes are removed
and then recrated, as well as making sure the MapStructure del() path is
followed and working. Unfortunately the NDs are still blank after reinit.
In time for 3.0. The API is still not fully complete, and not fully
cleaned up, but this is good enough for this release cycle (and it
should offer benefit longer term, if not now -- hopefully performance as
well).
Many thanks to Hooray as well, who has helped prepare things while I
could not, and often suggested ideas.
- move SVG to Canvas directory
- add basic wxradar
- differentiate between track and heading
- improve altitude arc
- add range arcs
- display correct ETA for next waypoint
- get rid of global variables and use instance variables
- identified all important drawing routines and move them into *.draw files
- changed to dynamic loading of *.draw *.model and *.layer files
- implemented poor-man's controller hash to move use-case specific conditionals out of the draw files, and back into the instantiation, i.e. Gijs' EFIS class
- started identifying stuff that is not specific to drawing, but to what is to be drawn, i.e. Model stuff - such as positioned queries, moved those out into *.model files
- some more work on supporting more than a single ND MFD instance per aircraft
- renamed a handful of SVG identifiers to avoid naming conflicts and to simplify usage of SVG IDs as member fields
- moved all of the setlistener setup out of the fdm-initialized stub right into the ctor of the Efis class (actually that's controller stuff...)
- initial MapStructure framework
- aircraft-agnostic NavDisplay class
- preparations for deprecating map.nas
- additions to canvas.map
- preparations for making NDStyles configurable via XML
