New in 0.7.10
* April 20, 2002
* Much work on drawing and animating 3d aircraft models for things like the
chase and tower views. Propellers spin, control surfaces move, gear
retracts, etc.
* Overhauled mouse handling code and make it user configurable.
* Added a new environment (as in weather) subsystem.
* Added a new logging module
* Aded a new ATC subsystem.
* Virtual 3d Cessna cockpit (work in progress) but many things are
animated and working.
* Instrument panel background can now be a set of tiled textures so we can
achieve *much* higher resolution.
* Major property manager overhaul.
* Major view code overhaul. All views are now configurable via config files.
* Major overhaul of the sound manager, it is now much more
configurable with many sound effect improvements.
* Seperate XML I/O opertions into a separate header.
* Impliment a standard FGSubsystem interface for module consistency.
* Add waypoint dialog now shows entire current waypoint list in a scroll box.
* Elevator trim position now shown on the HUD.
* Use an LED font for radios (and added infrastructer/support for
additional fonts.)
* Continued work on developing a generalized network interface to an external
flight dynamics model running as a separate process on the same or different
machine.
* Initial glideslope and climb rate can be specified from the command line.
* Fixes and improvements to make ground trimming more robust.
* Many JSBSim updates and improvements, JSBSim now exports all it's
interesting internal state via the property manager.
* Many updates to UIUCsim including support for non-linear models, flaps.
* Move tower view location when teleporting to a new airport.
* Created a new /devices subtree in the property manager to display
current device status.
* Many YASim updates and bug fixes, autogen contact points for
collision detection, support for full engine startup procedure,
minimal support for magnetos, support skid objects (non-rolling gear
objects), reduce idle power a bit, export gear compression amount to
the property tree, include wind when computing airspeed,
* Fixes to the property picker/browser.
* Fixes and updates to the configure script.
* Several potential memory abuse bugs detected (valgrind) and fixed (Melchior)
* Fix an instrument panel text bug ... an integer overflow could prevent
the text from displaying if the panel was turned off for more than 37.8
minutes.
* Fixed a segfault when trying to audibly ident a nav station. Changes in
the sound manager code broke some assumptions.
* Fixed a bug (another int overflow) which could trick the event
manager into thinking the next time to run the events is *way* in
the future.
* Various performance optimizations.
* More work on saving/restoring flights
* Of all the ILS stations of the specified frequency, pick the one the most
directly points at us.
* Various restructures in the scenery loading code in preparation for
more flexible runway lighting support.
* Fixes/improvements to the scenery/line interesection code.
* Various IRIX fixes.
* Various MSVC fixes.
* Various compiler warning messages fixed.
