New in 0.7.0
* Autopilot can now fly great circle routes.
* Incorporated a first stab at some networking code contributed by Oliver
Delise.
* Added Christian Mayer's new weather subsystem.
* Started adding support for "external" views ... still needs some work.
* Added a flight model acceleration funtion.
* Added support for mouse yoke control contributed by David Megginson.
* FDM model hertz now definable from the command line.
* Added initial timezone support so the user can have better control and more
options for setting the starting time of the sim.
* We now draw nonexistant tiles as ocean which means we only have to create
and distribute tiles that contain some sort of land mass.
* Replaced basic render engine with plib's ssg (simple scene graph).
* Now expect plib to be installed in it's one true and official location.
* Added support for timegm() if it exists which explicitely expects GMT input.
* A bit of your basic code reorganization and shuffling.
* Removed tools dependency on libgfc. Functionality is now covered by
shapelib which has been added into the Tools tree.
* Added support for the wonderful GSHHS global land mass data set.
* Removed dependecy on process-dem.pl script.
* Created a new distributed/parallel tile build system ... hmmm kind of super
computer or beowulf style stuff for getting large chunks of scenery built
as fast as possible.
* Only generate tiles that have land mass data since the sim can recreate pure
ocean tiles on the fly.
* First stab at a water flattening scheme to prevent oceans, lakes, and rivers
from running up and down the sides of hills.
* Changed the default "Work/" subdirectory layout.
* Updates to better handle segment boundaries in preparation for real airport
runway and lighting modeling.
* Updates and enhancements to my polygon management class.
* Updates to JSBsim.
* Updates to Tony's c172 model.
* Updated getting started guide from Micheal Basler.
* FreeBSD portability tweaks.
* MACos portability tweaks.
* Borland C++ tweaks.
* MSVC++ tweaks.
New in 0.6.0
* Tons of improvements with scenery creation. Inter-tile gaps have been
fixed, distorted textures have been fixed, real coastlines have been added,
