Revert this change - I will re-add the unit-tests again, but we need
a different approach for 8.3 stations, than what I did here.
This reverts commit 91cc83abb5.
In 8.3 mode, ensure that 25 and 75Khz channels can be tuned using the
abbreviated syntax (eg 118.02 for 118.025).
As part of this, add test coverage of the CommRadio for basic and 8.3-
mode operation.
Deal with some cases in STAR -> approach routing better:
- when the IAF is the initial wpt of the approach primary sequence,
just accept this instead of warning. This is common in some XML
files from Navigraph, for example EDDF
- don’t duplicate the IAF into the wpts returned by Approach::route
- when add-noise is false, mute noise completely
- if the CommRadio is not powered by the generic electrical system,
work by default (as was previously the case)
Using Emesary Global Transmitter the following events are notified
* Frame Begin
* Frame End
* Mainloop started
* Mainloop stopped
This integrates with the background threaded Nasal Garbage collection (simgear:nasal/cppbind/NasalEmesaryInterface.hxx) and is also controlled by the properties as follows
* /sim/nasal-gc-threaded (true) - use background threaded GC
* /sim/nasal-gc-threaded-wait (false) - at the start of the frame wait for the previous GC thread to complete.
I initially thought that the wait at the start of the frame would be necessary; however in 100 or so hours of flight without the await for completion at the start of frame no threading problems (or any other problems) were shown; so nasal-gc-threaded-wait is defaulted to false which gives a slight boost in performance.
So what this does is to it removes the GC pause of 10-20ms every 4 seconds (test using the F-15). This change doesn't really give much extra performance per frame because normally GC is only performed when needed.
Neither Torsten nor I can recall why we continued to hard-code this,
so make it dynamic for now. When we remember why we hard-code it,
we can add a BigComment from future-James to future-future-James about
why not to do this again :)
This is necessary on macOS where DBus is typically installed using
Homebrew, and hence we need additional linker flags to find the
library. Using the PkgConfig::DBUS imported target handles all this
transparently, but then we need to define an imported target for
Windows to work.
Due to e43fe82094 models in AI scenarios were
being searched down the AI/Aircraft and Aircraft paths, where in fact
they are by default a full path from FGDATA.
This fixes the problem by setting DATA_ONLY as the search order.
Other search orders can be set in the scenario file by setting
the search-order tag to "DATA_ONLY", "PREFER_AI", "PREFER_DATA"
Based on the dew point temperature supplied by FG, JSBSim updates the atmosphere density and computes all the usual parameters (RH, vapor pressure, saturated vapor pressure, etc.)
The mass fraction of water per unit of air mass is capped according to the record high from ISA 1976 standard atmosphere. As a consequence, at very high altitudes, air is always extremely dry (approx. 30 ppm i.e. 30 parts per million) whatever the conditions at sea level.
