a report node in the submodels config:
<impact-reports>/sim/model/cow/impact</impact-reports>
When an impact happens, then the path of the submodel will be written to
this node. An attached listener function can evaluate the impact properties.
at all is that this method is meant to be deprecated. But if it doesn't
say that, and there's no generic replacement at all, then it's rather
pointless.
- simplify parameter initialization (The old code copied from Instrumentation/
but has been simplified there in the same manner a few months ago
The new method is less picky about additional nodes ane outputs less
pointless alerts. If there shall really be a check for that, then
this should be a separate function. But it's nowhere else done in fgfs.
recover instead
- it was apparently planned to run the updated loop only every 1000th
frame, but the counter isn't reset, so it runs every frame
- use SG_LOG instead of cerr
- don't add redundant slashes in SGPath::append()
throwing an instance of 'sg_io_exception'\nAbandon". And this is caused
by compiling fgfs/sg without exception support (unlikely) or linking
against a libSDL/libglut that was compiled/linked without execption
support. While we can't fix that, we can tell the users who's to blame. :-)
- handle const char * exceptions
"minor update for the rotor FDM. It results in a more realistic
calculation of the phase shift of rotor and therefor in a little bit
more realistic flight behavior.
(Additionally you can modify the initial position of the rotor and some
(not finished) modifications for the jet ranger rotor)."
show "secret" values, that is: values of nodes with children. These
can be used like all normal (leaf) properties, but their values were
until now only shown in writeProperties() dumps. Also show the
number of attached listeners. Example: foo = 'bar' (string, AU, L3).
dialog.cxx: add warning message for broken <format>s; cosmetics
- props is easy to mix up with the --prop option (for setting properties)
- the name is unspecific and inconsistent: other option names describe
the protocol -- the way to get the properties. How is, for example,
--httpd less about prop(ertie)s?
- two identical options easily confuse people, as can be seen in The
FlightGear Manual, where --telnet and --props were described differently
/sim/view[*] that it finds. It's not only unnecessary that view definitions
have subsequent indices, but aircraft are now *requested* to use indices
100++. /sim/view[0] .. /sim/view[99] are reserved for the system. (Not
that we'd ever need that many, This is just a convention, it's nowhere
hard-coded.)
- replace the string operations for property paths by method calls & other
improvements
because nasal's f_interpolate() may be called in Nasal at times when the
GENERAL subsystem group is being deconstructed; access it by addressing
the group directly, as using globals->get_subsystem() does then not
work any more then; yeah, it's all for a rare border case ... :-)
NasalSys.cxx more robust instead. The reason for the crash was that during
fgfs shutdown destroyed subsystems (GENERAL group) still need Nasal access
(for AI Model destruction listeners), but at that point globals->get_subsystem()
can't even deliver the "nasal" subsystem (INIT group). One way to solve that
problem would have been to replace globals->get_subsystem("nasal") by
globals->get_subsystem_mgr()->get_group(SGSubsystemMgr::INIT)->get_subsystem("nasal"),
but Andy decided to store a pointer to the active "nasal" subsysten in
NasalSys.cxx instead, as the "nasal" subsystem needs to be accessed in
every single Nasal extension function, and multiple "nasal" subsystems are
out of the question, anyway.
we need to explicitly destroy that here, too, so that it has guaranteed
access to the Nasal subsystem. Otherwise we get a segfault on exit. When
the next subsystem needs this special treatement (radar?), we should
introduce a new subsystem group (in addition to INIT and GENERAL)
"FATAL: PUI: No Live Interface! Forgot to call puInit ?"
We shouldn't use the splash progress message before guiInit().
Leave the "idle_state" step for now, to keep the similarity
with fg/plib as big as possible. This can be dropped later.
Patch to enable atc chatter (and any other arbitrary "message" audio file)
to be played at any specified volume. (Previously these messages were always
played at a hardcoded volume of 1.0)
- loop up file name in the cache at startup. If it's found, check if the
file exists and use it, otherwise scan $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/ as usual,
and create a new cache while doing that. Rebuild cache on FG_ROOT change.
getAttribute("archive") returns 1 if the attribute is set, and 0 otherwise.
Allow to query and to set all properties by not specifying an attribute
string: getAttribute() returns all attributes bit coded in an integer,
and setAttribute(attr) sets all attributes. No assumptions may be made
about the meaning of the bits -- they can be changed in future fgfs releases.
The only valid use is to compare or set attribute numbers obtained in the
same fgfs run. This is meant for allowing full copies of property branches.
Also add getAttribute query strings "children" for the number of children,
and "alias".
- fix breakage due to former commit (AIManager.cxx, r1.72)
- make AI properties available in AIBase
- add <valid> property for animations/nasal scripts
- support more MP and AI targets
- add target select and altitude display
their XML wrapper/animation file. They can access their /ai/models node
via cmdarg() function. Example:
<nasal>
<load>
print("Hi, I'm the Nimitz. My data are under ",
cmdarg().getPath());
</load>
<unload>
...
</unload>
</nasal>
Note, however, that the <unload> block is only called on exit at the moment,
not when the tile is unloaded.

Don't get too used to them. This will have to be moved from the "name"

Nasal now supports calls to "subcontexts" and errors can be thrown
across them, leading to complete stack traces when call() is used,
instead of the truncated ones we now see.
Vectors can now be concatenated using the ~ operator that used to work
only for strings.
Better runtime error messages in general due to a fancier
naRuntimeError() implementation
A big data size shrink on 64 bit systems; the size of a naRef dropped
by a factor of two.
"Braceless code blocks" have been added to the parser, so you can
write expressions like "if(a) b();" just like in C. Note that there's
still a parser bug in there that fails when you nest a braced block
within a braceless one.
Character constants that appear in Nasal source code can now be
literal multibyte UTF8 characters (this was always supported for
string literals, but character constants were forced to be a single
byte).
New modules: "bits", "thread", "utf8" and (gulp...) "io". The bits
library might be useful to FlightGear, the utf8 one probably not as
Plib does not support wide character text rendering. The thread
library will work fine for spawning threads to do Nasal stuff, but
obviously contact with the rest of FlightGear must be
hand-synchronized as FlightGear isn't threadsafe. The io library is
no doubt the most useful, as it exposes all the basic stdio.h
facilities; it's also frighteningly dangerous when combined with
networked code...

There are no *-set.xml files in deeper nested dirs, and with an ever growing
number of aircraft the search just lasts too long.
Here is a patch for two bugs in the AI/multiplayer part:
1. Cannot find model file *.ac error message (was only a false message,
anything worked correctly, the model was loaded from the correct path
afterwards).
2. Often many multiplayer aircrafts are missing in the property-tree.
(but I need them for aerotowing). There is still another bug: The
property in some circumstances seems not to be cleaned up after logout
of a multiplayer. I have added a workaround for this, but I don't now,
if it 100% works (should have no side effects, just aerotow would not
work sometimes). For testing I need more traffic on the mp-server.

I found a small conspicuity in YASim. The destructor of the fdm was
never called, therefore a modification of the heli fdm (not in cvs) did
not work after reset (I tie some properties and untie them in the
destructor, but the destructor was not called and the tieing failed
after reset. I don't know if any other parts of YASim need their
destructors, at least it wastes memory.
Another small fix I have made to the turbulence.cpp. The code needed,
that (a-floor(a)) is >=0 and <1. This is analytical correct, but
numerical only for "small" values. In normal fg-operation a in this
function is always small, but with unrealistic parameters in the
aircraft config file it is not and then fg crashes (instead a crash of
the aircraft or cataputling it far away).
