cde90e06d5 Removed current_model global variable and added a reference in
FGGlobals instead (we still need to do the same with current_input and
a few other globals).

4a2f192fb1 Change the idle MP to reduce idle power a bit. This is basically a
hack, and should be replaced with a sane idle model that has some
physical justification.

aa872ed040 Patch from Frederic Bouvier (FIXME comments added by David Megginson):
I made these modifications to correct the problem of getter functions
returning pointers to local variables. Those variables are no longer
locals and become static. One should be aware that it kills reentrancy

396674ce2e Patch from Martin Dressler:
This patch moves built-in Class (for now only mag-ribbon) into special
directory as you have written it in TODO: in comments of this class in
panel_io.cxx.  IMHO it is good idea.  I want to play with built-in
classes and OpenGC and this will be useful.

50c13f7972 Patch from Jim Wilson:
Made a couple more adjustments, now the function builds the
transformation matrix (sans the translation) directly from the five
inputs.  After realizing that it may be necessary for the new location
class to publish a world up vector, comments were added indicating
which values constitute world up.

a1294ea398 Viewer update from Jim Wilson:
Minor patches to initial tower view code.  Added calculation for "tower" at
any airport, placed a couple fractions of a degree off the center.  Moved the
farplane from 100m to 5km so that "lookfrom" mode can see the model.  5km is
still in a reasonable range for a depth buffer.  Note that looking at a model
anything but a small distance will cause some problems on older cards.
Temporarily changed viewer to always report elevation/lon/lat of the aircraft
in order to avoid a problem with the ground trim getting recalculated when
tower and aircraft are on different tiles.

ec6888d4a4 Viewer update from Jim Wilson:
Tower View and viewer config is in place.  Note that the interface is
still in a state of flux.  A couple of the config items (namely the
offsets) are still using the old settings.  The tower is hard coded
into the base package for a position off the starting runway at KSFO
and is probably not in the right place for there even.  Looks pretty
cool though!  Tower View is the third view.  If you aren't at KSFO
you'll just see blank space in view 3. It's looking through the earth or
something like that :-).  Important note: zoom in with a few
hits of the "x" key to see the plane better in tower view.

9d6011aa69 Patch from Jim Wilson to realign model slightly in new model code:
This should fix it.  The problem wasn't the rotations but a difference in
the translations.  Note that this fix also puts the wheels back on top of the
pavement when in external view.

04bc768e0a JSBSim fix:
Changed the steering gain from +/-0.1 to +/-1.0, so that the steering
angle for the nosewheel (when present) is the same as the rudder
deflection angle.  That's probably not exactly right, but it's much
better than we had before -- you can now steer the plane on the ground
reasonably during taxiing.

7543409e47 Attached are a fairly extensive series of patches to the ATC
system.  A chap from Germany called Alexander Kappes (cc'd) got
in touch with me a few weeks ago and has written the start of
Approach control.  At the moment tuning in to a valid approach
frequency (Dortmund or East Midlands) should result in vectors to
a spot about 3 miles from the active runway, and a telling off if you
stray too far from the correct course, in the console window.  He
seems to know what he's doing so expect this to improve rapidly!!

I've added a rudimentry AI manager and a hardwired Cessna at
KEMT on the runway - I'll remove it before the next release if I don't
have it flying by then.  There seems to be an issue with framerate
which drops alarmingly when looking at it - I've a feeling that I've
possibly created several Cessnas on top of each other, but am not
sure.

2717dba826 I have attached revisions to the UIUC code. The revisions include the
ability to run a nonlinear model with flaps.  The files ls_model.c and
uiuc_aero.c were changed since we had some functions with the same
name.  The name changes doesn't affect the code, it just makes it a
little easier to read.  There are changes in LaRCsim.cxx so UIUC
models have engine sound.  Could you send me an email when you receive
this and/or when the changes make it to the CVS?  Thanks.

Also I noticed you have some outdated files that are no longer used in
the UIUCModel directory.  They are uiuc_initializemaps1.cpp,
uiuc_initializemaps2.cpp, uiuc_initializemaps3.cpp, and
uiuc_initializemaps4.cpp

d372548782 Major restructuring: the Animation class is now an abstract interface,
and specific animation types are derived from it.  This change makes
the code much easier to read, maintain, and extend.

Added a 'translate' animation type for a scaled, 3D linear translation
(such as a sliding throttle knob).

Renamed the 'offset' property to 'offset-m' or 'offset-deg' as
appropriate; ditto for 'min' and 'max' properties.

MSVC fix from Bernie Bright:

You can keep the enum private if you add the following declarations
immediately afterwards:

faf2fa91d2 Patch from Jim Wilson:
Clear frame buffer and render model after rest of 3D scene. This has a
small frame rate cost (YMV). But who thought 3D cockpit would be cheap?
If anyone has a better idea, have at it!

Just did some more careful testing and I see little or no frame rate loss
with the depth buffer clear.  Also you can change the near plane to 0.1
and get rid of the "sunroof" (so I don't have to make up another set of
patches.

50e25151e1 Patch from Melchior Franz:
My last patch fixed the initialization problem only for the main branch, but
ignored the _MWERKS_ branch.
- merged the branches, only the loop head needs different treatment;
- don't access n.type before it is initialized (valgrind complaint)
- created a constructor; the operator>> wouldn't have initialized all
  variables in case of a broken default.nav.gz entry, so we would have
  got a mixture of the broken one and the previous one; in case of
  the first entry, that would have made nice random values ... ;-)
- move the automatic FGNav variable into the loop, so that the gets
  cleanly constructed for every database entry.
- commented out the frequency min/max exploration, which isn't used at all
- updated the commented out debug output statements, which were simply
  copied over from the nav* files, but never adapted (I needed them :-)

Patch from Melchior Franz:

- merged the _MWERKS_ & generic #ifdef branch, only the loop head needs
  different treatment
- commented out a "n >> skipeol" that is used in navlist.cxx to gobble
  the starting C++-style comment from default.nav.gz; atis inherited
  that, but there is no such comment in default.atis.gz, so the first
  data entry got thrown away
- commented out min/max frequency exploration (-> only for debugging)
- enhanced the constructor; the operator>> wouldn't have initialized all
  variables in case of a broken default.atis.gz entry, so we would have
  got a mixture of the broken one and the previous one;
- move the automatic FGATIS variable into the loop, so that it gets
  cleanly constructed for every database entry.
- don't access a.type before it is initialized
- updated the commented out debug output statements; they were still
  designed for the FGNav class ...

58e664a060 Patches from Jim Wilson:
This patch creates a seperate scene graph for the cockpit.  The near plane is
only moved up when in the interior (pilot) view.  This is because with
rounding (I presume) it the visible ground is a bit up higher than it is with
the older nearplane setting.  Not much, but it is enough to bury the wheels.
I suspected this might be true but spliting to two sg's confirms it.  If
necessary we can adjust the model up a bit when in interior view.  This might
be good so we can set the near plane even closer when in the cockpit (its
still at 0.2m).

In general this looks a lot better on my Voodoo with this patch.  No
perceptibel change in frame rate on my system.  In terms of future plans I'd
see the sense in making the model plug into either scene.  This will be
necessary when we have multiple model instances in the frame.

0944ab91c2 Patch from Melchior Franz:
The matrix doesn't define some cells, which are actually used

garbage is hardly the correct value either. Should some of them
be set to 1.0?

38c705b6c0 Viewer patches from Jim Wilson:
Think my brain is getting clogged with matrices :-).  Well I've got the funky
orientation offset bug out of the model code.  In the process the model.cxx
got optimized a bit.  At some point we'll need to liberate model.cxx from the
viewer class, but it is no longer hard coded to access the  "pilot view" to
get it's data. Instead it uses whatever the "current" view happens to be.  I
may try and do that final bit of having models rotate independant of the view
tomorrow night, or start right in on the viewmgr and get a tower view up and
running.  You guys have any preference?  My brother's family is coming to
visit for a few days so what I don't get done tomorrow night probably won't
get done until after the weekend.

7e1b599368 Patch from Melchior Franz:
When the loop starts, n.type is still undefined, so the while statement

to check for it after reading the line and break if necessary.

5b2df63f54 Patches from Melchior Franz:
The first hunk might not be necessary, but the light_coverage property
was the only one that wasn't explicitly defaulted, which is unfair.  ;-)
   The second hunk adds the missing initialization to the init routine.
This is necessary, because (unlike the material entries from material.xml)
the generated light entries don't get the light coverage set. Yet
obj.cxx:795 reads this information out fot every leaf, although not needed
in the case of lights. Avoiding this isn't worth the trouble.
   The last hunk sets the missing normal_index. The POINTS branch in
gen_leaf was always called with this int_list empty, which made the normals
handling use data garbage.

b3d5d24d81 Patch from Melchior Franz:
It seems that the airport database was changed some day and the End?Flags
changed from floats to strings. The database definition, though, was not
adapted and still created number entries. Reading out these flags led to
access to memory, that was never initialized. While it didn't cause crashes
during normal use, it actually caused one when I ran fgfs in ddd. Seems,
that the concerned memory region wasn't zeroed out then and hence uncovered
the bug.

Of course, the runways.mk4 database has to be re-created with the new
definitions.

Viewer improvements from Jim Wilson:

These files get the 3d cockpit working and fix a few issues in the viewer
code.
XYZ offsets are now defined as follows: X -left/right+ (along wing axis), Y
-up/down+ perpendicular to the aircraft, Z is -in/out+ the aircraft's body axis.
I've also done some cleaning up of unused and mostly unusable interfaces,
added commentary to the *.hxx, combined together some duplicate code and
eliminated a couple unecessary operations.  I also moved what was left of the
"protected" zone to "private" since we aren't subclassing this anymore.

e45cb5d0aa Found by inspection a bug in the generation of orientation matrices
for fuselage Surface objects.  If the fuselage wasn't aligned perpendicular
to the Y axis, the matrix wouldn't be orthonormal.  Since all of, perhaps,
three aircraft have ever been built this way, it's doubtful I would have
found this as a bug report. :)

4d4cd16012 Major viewer-code overhaul from Jim Wilson:
Description:

This update includes the new viewer interface as proposed by David M. and
a first pass at cleaning up the viewer/view manager code by Jim W.

Note that I have dropped Main/viewer_lookat.?xx and Main/viewer_rph.?xx and
modified the Makefile.am accordingly.


Detail of work:

Overall:
The code reads a little easier.  There are still some unnecessary bits in
there and I'd like to supplement the comments in the viewer.hxx with a tiny
bit on each interface group and what the groupings mean (similar but briefer
than what you emailed me the other day).  I tried not to mess up the style,
but there is an occasional inconsistency.  In general I wouldn't call it done
(especially since there's no tower yet! :)), but I'd like to get this out
there so others can comment, and test.

In Viewer:
The interface as you suggested has been implemented.  Basically everything
seems to work as it did visually.  There is no difference that I can see in
performance, although some things might be a tiny bit faster.

I've merged the lookat and rph (pilot view) code into the recalc for the
viewer.  There is still some redundancy between the two, but a lot has been
removed.  In some cases I've taken some code that we'd likely want to inline
anyway and left it in there in duplicate.  You'll see that the code for both
looks a little cleaner.  I need to take a closer look at the rotations in
particular.  I've cleaned up a little there, but I suspect more can be done
to streamline this.

The external declaration to the Quat_mat in mouse.cxx has been removed.  IMHO
the quat doesn't serve any intrinsic purpose in mouse.cxx, but I'm not about
to rip it out.  It would seem that there more conventional ways to get
spherical data that are just as fast.  In any case all the viewer was pulling
from the quat matrix was the pitch value so I modified mouse.cxx to output to
our pitchOffset input and that works fine.

I've changed the native values to degrees from radians where appropriate.
This required a conversion from degrees to radians in a couple modules that
access the interface.  Perhaps we should add interface calls that do the
conversion,  e.g. a getHeadingOffset_rad() to go along with the
getHeadingOffset_deg().

On the view_offset (now headingOffset) thing there are two entry points
because of the ability to instantly switch views or to scroll to a new view
angle (by hitting the numeric keys for example).   This leaves an anomaly in
the interface which should be resolved by adding "goal" settings to the
interface, e.g. a setGoalHeadingOffset_deg(), setGoalPitchOffset_deg(), etc.

Other than these two issues, the next step here will be to look at some
further optimizations, and to write support code for a tower view.  That
should be fairly simple at this point.  I was considering creating a
"simulated tower view" or "pedestrian view" that defaulted to a position off
to the right of whereever the plane is at the moment you switch to the tower
view.  This could be a fall back when we don't have an actual tower location
at hand (as would be the case with rural airports).

ViewManager:
Basically all I did here was neaten things up by ripping out excess crap and
made it compatible as is with the new interface.

The result is that viewmanager is now ready to be developed.  The two
preexisting views are still hardcoded into the view manager.  The next step
would be to design configuration xml (eg /sim/view[x]/config/blahblah) that
could be used to set up as many views as we want.  If we want to take the easy
way out, we might want to insist that view[0] be a pilot-view and have
viewmanager check for that.

0cc3bed841 Major property-manager rewrite, using const char * throughout
interface instead of string.  This will result in a lot more
efficiency later, once I add in a simple hash table for caching
lookups, since it will avoid creating a lot of temporary string
objects.  The major considerations for users will be that they cannot
use

  node->getName() == "foo";

any more, and will have to use c_str() when setting a string value
from a C++ string.

a2acc953ae Somewhere along the line in the recent changes some std::cout were
inclueded in some of the files. Irix doesn't have cout in the std class,
so I changed it to "cout" and included SG_USING_NAMESPACE(std) at the
beginning of the files.
And some minor warning cleanups.
