Traffic Manager:
* Just continue routing until we run out of flights. This change removes one of the major requirements for setting the "Home port" field.
* Add a time restriction requirement for the aircraft scheduler; this became necessary after removing the limited-to-home-port routing restriction.
* Added a new field to the heuristics calculation: take into account whether an aircraft has already been used in a previous session. Rotate aircraft assignments for greater variability across sessions.
* Added a revision number to the cache files, so that old cache results, which are no longer compatible with the new file format, are discarded.
Groundnetwork and traffic control:
* Added a revision number to the cache files, so that old and incompatible results are discarded.
* The caching algorithm probably didn't store the correct data for airports that were processed while the user was quite far away. This is now corrected by checking whether the cached elevation data are equal to the generic airport elevation.
AIAircraft:
* I've been searching for the infamous aircraft bend-over-backward bug, that can occur during initialization, but to no avail yet. The only variable potentially responsible (tgt_vs) wich can explain the irregular jumping behavior, as well as the weird pitch results is initialized in AIAircraft's only constructor (through AIBase), and I can't find any situation in the ground handling code where this variable could get bizarre values. But,
* a couple of tgt_vs. calculations appear to be completely redundant. This value was calculated twice inside the ProcessFlightplan function, and subsequently again in the updateSecondaryTargetValues function. I have removed the calculations in the process flightplan function, without any apparent side effect.
When a model is not found in the custom scenery directories, load data
from base-package (instead of trying to access file "").
Also allow paged models to be loaded from custom scenery folders.
When no navaid is found, '_ref_navaid_id_node->setStringValue("")' results
in a listener firing, which requests another navaid update when no navaid
is available.
=> Resulted in FGPositioned::findClosest being called in every update loop,
when no navaid was within range.
receive on a non-blocking socket may return 0, which does not indicate an
error - and does not mean "errno" was upated. So do not check "errno",
errors there belong to calls elsewhere...
Error message apparently triggered constantly with FG2.4.0 on Windows.
Add a LOD (range animation) to each AI model if the property
/sim/rendering/static-lod/ai is set to any number greater than
zero. AI models get loaded but only displayed when closer than
the number given in the property (in meters).
If the property is absent or it's value is less or equal 0.0
than no LOD is added to the AI model.
The usual 'modify code before checkin but past testing' Problem.
Return the elevation of the intersection result instead of the
elevation of the querys start point.
- Better transistion between taxi and takeoff phases.
- Skipping the pushback stages when a gate doesn't require push-back.
- Some test code always chooses the user aircraft as the one that has to hold position.
