New in 0.7.7
* June 22, 2001 (01/04/05)
* Cleaned up various warning messages
* Various Cygwin fixes.
* Various MSVC fixes.
* Various Irix Mips fixes.
* Check for null panel before passing mouse events to panel object.
* Fixed panel edge artifacts (due to unwanted texture wrapping.)
* Fixed a typo in the base/materials file.
* Various property manager fixes.
* Various property manager lookup optimizations.
* Fixed a bug in the autopilot altitude hold that crept in.
* Converted from hardcoded to configurable keyboard bindings.
* Added an FGSubsystem base class so subsystems can be managed with a
common api.
* Keyboard commands are now completely remapable. Removed BFI and
keyboard in place of remapable inputs.
* Started to impliment a command manager. This along with the
property manager will go a long ways toward building infrastructure
for scripting.
* Started laying infrastructure for creating ultra-high-res tiled
screen shots suitable for printers.
* Synced with a recent version of JSBSim.
* GUI code split into smaller logical subcomponents.
* FGOptions converted to use property manager directly.
* "delta-t" and fdm interface timing fixes and tweaks.
* Added a sound effect manager class at the FlightGear level.
* Support for setting a starting position as and offset distance (and /
or radial) from your specified starting postition. This allows you to
initialize on final x miles out at y altitude.
* Many updates to make a much more realistic single engine and prop model
with atmospheric and velocity dependencies. Fuel flow now modeled.
* Straightened out magnetic offset issues with VOR stations so we can
navigate properly from real avaition charts.
* Added a direct network interface support for the "Atlas" moving map
program. (Output radio stack settings so current VOR and OBS can be
visualized.)
* Autopilot made to work more like a real world autopilot (rather than
based on perfect values.) Autopilot wing leveler is slaved off the
turn coordinator. Heading hold is slaved from the DG (which drifts).
Nav and ILS holds slave off the needle position.
* Backcorse ILS needle should move in correct direction now.
* Identing of NAV radios (and individual volume control) now work.
* Don't play DME ident if no colocated DME.
* VOR/ILS/ADF range pickup realistically modeled as per AIM.
* Added support for marker beacons.
* Support for loading and saving the current 'simulator state' using
an xml formated file.
* Added threaded tile paging for systems with pthread support.
* Added high level support for creating airport taxiway and runway signs.
* Many updates and fixes to the "installation and getting started" manual.
* Support for adding static objects to the scenery.
* Many updates and new features for the xml configurable panel engine.
Many corresponding improvements to the default instrument panel.
* Support added for incrementally numbering screen snapshots.
* Added support for a new, smaller, faster binary scenery format.
* Added an xml configurable HUD engine.
* Added interface glue to propogate wind values to LaRCsim.
