|
||||||
|
* June 4, 2002
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* New aircraft available: P51-D (w/ full 3d cockpit), Sea Hawk
|
||||||
|
(WV908), a research ornithopter (propelled by actual flapping
|
||||||
|
wings), A10, B-52, F-104, F-15, F-16, OV10, PA28-161, T-6A Texan II,
|
||||||
|
T-38, British TSR2, YF-23, 737,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Updated aircraft: airwave extreme hang glider, asw20 glider, A-4
|
||||||
|
Skyhawk, Beech-99, Cessna 172 w/ 3d cockpit, Cessna 310 w/ 3d
|
||||||
|
cockpit, DC3, Piper J3 Cub, 1903 Wright Flyer, Sopwith Camel, Space
|
||||||
|
Shuttle, Boeing 747-400
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Overhauled menu/gui system and made it xml configurable rather than
|
||||||
|
hardwired. Include support for things like checkboxes, sliders, and
|
||||||
|
dials.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Added some early multiplayer features.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Added support for in-air presets relative to a VOR, NDB, or fix.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Support for Futaba, Airtronics, Hitec, JR, Multiplex and Tower R/C
|
||||||
|
transmitters using the RCJoy USB interface box (see
|
||||||
|
http://www.rcjoy.com).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Much improved sky and coloring as well as more realistic coloring of
|
||||||
|
the sunset and sunrise.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Clouds are drawn on a surface that better matches the underlying
|
||||||
|
curve of the earth.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* A few updated terrain textures, better variety of random ground
|
||||||
|
cover objects.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Most weather options can now be set via the GUI. Added an option to
|
||||||
|
randomize the weather.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Various instruments and systems can now be failed/unfailed via the
|
||||||
|
GUI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Developed scripts to build Navaid and ILS databases from DAFIFT,
|
||||||
|
FAA, and other data sources.
|
||||||
|
* Update Navaid and ILS databases based on DAFIFT, FAA, and other data
|
||||||
|
sources.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Continued development of voice ATC, robot aircraft AI, logical
|
||||||
|
taxiway networks (continues to be a work in progess, but much
|
||||||
|
progress has been made.)
|
||||||
|
* Separated out much of the low level model/material management code
|
||||||
|
and moved it over to SimGear where it can be potentially used by
|
||||||
|
other projects.
|
||||||
|
* Separated out the low level sound effect playing/management code and
|
||||||
|
moved it over to SimGear.
|
||||||
|
* Added functions to the "telnet" interface to allow remote management
|
||||||
|
of autopilot waypoints.
|
||||||
|
* Support the parking brake in the "external" flight dynamics interface.
|
||||||
|
* Added support for an audio panel (set of switches to set various
|
||||||
|
avionics audio sources on/off in the aircraft.)
|
||||||
|
* Add support for speed brake and spoiler controls.
|
||||||
|
* Many code updates to UIUCmodel including support for ornithopters
|
||||||
|
(flapping wing vehicles.)
|
||||||
|
* Many JSBsim code updates include a new turbine engine model.
|
||||||
|
* Added a "named pipe" external flight dynamics model interface.
|
||||||
|
* YASim updates including support for manual-pitch control props,
|
||||||
|
support for wing washout, and adjusting aircraft masses as fuel is
|
||||||
|
consumed.
|
||||||
|
* The property picker interface now shows the property values changing
|
||||||
|
dynamically.
|
||||||
|
* Added support for a simple annunciator panel (fuel, oil, vacuum,
|
||||||
|
volts dummy warning lights.)
|
||||||
|
* Added a "gyro" model. This can be driven electrically (turn
|
||||||
|
coordinator) or via vacuum (attitude indicator). If one of these
|
||||||
|
systems failes, the corresponding gyro will spin down realistically
|
||||||
|
an introduce realistic errors in the gauge reading.
|
||||||
|
* Model attitude indicator tumbling at extreme attitudes.
|
||||||
|
* Modeled the pitot system and use that drive the air speed indicator.
|
||||||
|
* Added a very simplistic volts/amps model to the electrical
|
||||||
|
system...enough to make the gauges behave plausibly and drive the
|
||||||
|
annunciator panel correctly.
|
||||||
|
* Updated the vacuum/suction model to behave more realistically.
|
||||||
|
* Added Italian and Polish translation for the GUI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Mac OS X fixes.
|
||||||
|
* Better FreeBSD support.
|
||||||
|
* Mingwin fixes.
|
||||||
|
* Improved native sgi compiler support.
|
||||||
|
* MSVC fixes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Fixed problems in marker beacon audio.
|
||||||
|
* Fixed several subtle problems in the modeling/positioning of glide
|
||||||
|
slope transmitters in FlightGear
|
||||||
|
* Don't allow the dewpoint to go higher than the temperature.
|
||||||
|
* Don't allow gust speed to be less than base wind speed.
|
||||||
|
* Fix a couple problems in the external fdm interface that prevented
|
||||||
|
FlightGear from being driven properly by an external source (i.e. to
|
||||||
|
act as a image generator only.)
|
||||||
|
* Fixes to camera parameters for external views (especially when rotating
|
||||||
|
the view around the different axes.)
|
||||||
|
* Many miscellaneous code clean ups, many bug fixes, and much code
|
||||||
|
refactoring.
