changed in the initial altitude setting to 3000ft instead of meters (the panel
is in feet).
and scaling of control values to properties. Also added a time interpolation
feature that replaces the hacked-in "retract-time" feature for the gear in
a more general way (applicable to flaps, too!). Incompatibly breaks
the XML syntax; get new files!
individual aircraft to have different sounds (and cleaning up my code
a fair bit). The most important user-visible change is the renaming
of the /sim/sound property to /sim/sound/audible.
(other than "none") is "spin", which must be tied to a property giving
a value in RPM. This gets the DC-3 propellers turning. The next type
will be "rotation", which will allow the flaps, elevators, ailerons,
and rudders to move (and even gear, eventually). Later, I'll add
"shift" for sliding things around, and will figure something out for
blinking lights.
the XML file, including the path to the 3D file.
This change obsoletes the existing /sim/model/*-offset-deg and
/sim/model/*-offset-m properties in the main property tree, and
replaces them with /offsets/*-deg and /offsets/*-m in the model
property file. The /path property in the model XML file is relative
to the XML file's location rather than FG_ROOT.
Added two new properties:
/environment/temperature-sea-level-degc
/environment/pressure-sea-level-inhg
These are now supported in FGEnvironment as well, though they always
have the same value for now. They need to be hooked up to the FDMs.
different locations, and hitched it into FGGlobals. FGEnvironmentMgr
has taken over as the subsystem, while FGEnvironment is simple the
information that it returns. I've removed current_environment
completely -- everything now uses properties or goes through
FGGlobals. FGGlobals itself has a couple of useful methods:
const FGEnvironment * get_environment ();
const FGEnvironment * get_environment (double lat, double lon, double alt);
The first one returns the environment data for the plane's current
position, while the second returns the environment data for any
arbitrary location. Currently, they both return the same information,
but that will change soon.
