Also, I (David Megginson) removed most of the SimGear include
statements from globals.hxx, reducing the amount of recompilation
every time SimGear changes. This required making minor changes to a
lot of files that were depending on the side-effects of the inclusions
in globals.hxx.

There should be no change in functionality.
is a work in progress and needs severe enhancement before it will be
useful. It provides a UDP data channel that goes both ways between
flightgear and the fdm. It also provides a TCP 'command' channel so
flightgear can 'reliably' send commands to the remote fdm (such as set
starting position, reset on ground, etc.)
includes the ability to specify per vertex normals rather than depending
the normals list being the same as the vertices list. (Support for
previous binary file format scenery is maintained.)
This seems to pretty much correct the problem. Part of the problem is that
rotations are occuring at the firewall (model origin) which seems a little
un-natural inside the cockpit. The rest of the problem is I am just learning
how this stuff works (I know I've been saying this for a couple months
now...but hey I'm slow :-)).
* Add new trigger types: raise, fall
* Add new trigger offset parameter
* Add new volume/pitch types: inv, abs, sqrt
* Add initial support for multiple events to intervere in a single sound
(by using the same name, see the crank section of 172-sound.xml)
* Cached the volume/pitch type fucntions
(No more if's inside the loops in update())
created a new class, FGViewPoint (declared in viewer.hxx) that holds a
single position in FlightGear coordinates, and have used it to factor
a lot of the common code out of viewer_lookat.cxx and viewer_rph.cxx.
I don't know whether this new class will stay or not; it might just be
a temporary step, or it might end up taking over much of the current
viewer functionality. It would be a bad idea to code against it right
now.
plane to 0.2; otherwise, use the old defaults.
This is a temporary step that will allow me to work on a 3D cockpit
without breaking current behaviour; the final approach will be to put
the 3D model in its own scene graph, with different clipping plane.
OK, attached is a replacement for mouse.cxx that works the view using
the view-offset/tilt interface, rather than the (kinda odd) GuiQuat
stuff. It's kind of a hack job, as I left the hooks to GuiQuat in in
other places for fear of breaking something. Still, it removed more
code from mouse.cxx than it added, which has to count for some
elegance points.
Oh yeah, I forgot to send that one along. This one is my bug, I
goofed the precedence in the fgPanelVisible() function in panel.cxx
such that the panel was *always* visible if virtual cockpit was
enabled. Here's a replacement. I've modified the style from a single
boolean expression to an if-list, since that's more readable to my
eyes for expressions this big:
and soon to be renamed) is true, FlightGear will draw the 3-D model
even in internal view. This makes sense right now only with the C310
model, since the others don't have any kind of interiors modeled and
all surfaces in all models are one-sided.
This isn't quite working yet -- the view code is very hard to
disentangle, and currently, if the view is not forward, roll and pitch
are applied incorrectly. It looks interesting (modulo a messy model)
on the ground, in level flight, or looking straight ahead under any
other flight conditions.
to 10m after takeoff, but that doesn't really make sense any more,
especially if models are going to have interior views. Is there any
real saving in pushing the near plane out anyway?
was some confusion between degrees and radians which would lead to a huge
goal_view_offset value. The display would sit and spin for a *long* time
trying to wind it's way up to this large value.
difference between the two is this: A sample is file related and sound
is a authonomus entity. This means you can have several sounds pointing
to a single sample. In that case, just one sample is loaded into memory.
The advantage is you can play the same sample with different pitch or
volume, but with just one sample loaded into memory.
To fully support this there is a new fucntion call:
FGSimpleSound *sample = new FGSimpleSound("filename");
mgr->add(sample, "name");
should be replaced by:
FGSimpleSound *sample = mgr->add("name", "filename");
But the old behaviour is still supported with one minor change, sounds
with the same name aren't supported anymore.

Actually, I think I'm off the hook here; the problem is pre-existing.
What's happening is that the x/y offsets enter the modelview matrix at
line 346 in the current panel.cxx. But note that the same
transformation also occurs before each instrument rendered at line
403. What's happening is that the instruments are double-translated
relative to the background.
Unless I'm not understanding something, the one inside the instrument
render loop looks unnecessary. Removing it fixes the issue and
doesn't cause any bugs that I can find. It also fixes a bug where you
could scroll the instruments on top of the 3D panel, where the offsets
are supposed to be ignored. :)
Attached is a new panel.cxx which fixes that bug, and substantially
simplifies the virtual panel code (the matrix inversion that I thought
was needed wasn't, but there were some offsetting scale bugs that hid
the problem).
These changes add to the "Add Waypoint" dialog so that you can see the entire
list in the pui dialog that you are adding to. Also made some minor changes
so that the autopilot is now activated (toward first waypoint target heading)
when a waypoint is added.
command will save *all* properties, rather than just those marked as
archivable. This feature was requested by Tony Peden to make it
easier to write documentation on the properties, but it should also be
useful for debugging. There is currently no default binding for the
command with the write-all parameter set to true.
What the attached patch does is map your panel definition onto a (non
z-buffered) quad in front of your face. You can twist the view around
and see it move in the appropriate ways.
Apply the patch (let me know if folks need help with that step), and
then set the /sim/virtual-cockpit property to true. You can do this
on the command line with --prop:/sim/virtual-cockpit=1, or via the
property picker. Bind it to a key for fast toggling if you like.
The default bindings don't allow for "panning" the view, so you'll
have to modify yours. These are the mappings to my joystick's hat
switch, for those who need hints:

While the current implementation is happy with just plastering the
panel's notion of "screen" into the 3D world, this is actually more
general. Each panel can, in principle, have it's own coordinate
system, and you could build a cockpit out of a bunch of them. The
mapping is specified by providing a 3D coordinate for three corners of
the quad the panel should be mapped to; this should be pretty simple
to work with.
All that's needed for a perfectly general solution is a convention on
where to store the information (a cockpit xml file, or put it in the
aircraft -set file, or...), and some work on the panel's coordinate
system conventions (some of which don't coexist very nicely with a
generalized 3D environment). Combine that with a plib model for the
non-panel interior of the cockpit, and we're golden.
I'm actually really pleased with this. It worked better and more
quickly than I could have imagined, and impact on the surrounding code
is quite light -- a few property tests only. But some stuff is still
missing:
+ No equivalent work was done to the HUD, so it still displays
incorrect headings when the view changes. The use of pixel
coordinates deep in the HUD code is going to give me fits doing the
port, I sure. It's not nearly so well put together as the panel
(where I just changed the setup code -- none of the rendering code
changed at all).
+ I forgot that the panel was clickable. :) Input events still have
the screen coordinates, which essentially kills the interactivity
when in virtual cockpit mode. This won't be hard to fix; it's only
broken because I forgot the feature existed.
And one note about the implementation choice: to get away from the
inevitable near clip plane issue, the virtual cockpit renderer simply
disables the z buffer. This means that cockpits built using these
panels need to be z-sorted, which isn't too hard since they are static
geometry. It also means that no two "virtual panels" can ever be
allowed to interpenetrate. No biggie.
actually very powerful when combined with factor and offset -- for
example, on the C310 model the nose wheel can now retract completely
before the doors start closing.
subsystem to Flightgear. No more functionality is implemented
than at present (apart from an ATIS bug-fix - station wouldn't
change if the radio was switched directly from one station to
another) but it is much neater than the current hack and should be
easily extendable.
Some cruft is still probably left over in radiostack.[ch]xx such as
the bindings to the comm frequencies but I'll leave removing those
until I'm sure they're not needed there.

a more general way (applicable to flaps, too!). Incompatibly breaks

a fair bit). The most important user-visible change is the renaming
of the /sim/sound property to /sim/sound/audible.

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.
properties have been renamed from wind-(north|east|down)-fps to
wind-from-(north|east|down)-fps, and the FDMs modified appropriately.
No other changes should be visible unless FG_OLD_WEATHER is defined.
Attached are patches for adding the command line options to set initial
glideslope and climb rate. This was really easy to do as all the pieces
were in place. It works well with JSBSim because the trimming routine
finds the right throttle and elevator settings. It should work with
LaRCsim as well, but it has no trimming routine so there will be some
dynamics at startup. I don't know what YASim will do.

last setting you did through it, even if it was later tweaked with the bug on
the hsi. The altitude dialog did a similar thing. Now the values default to
the same that show on the panel displays.

as well as visibility.
This means that if you are using this protocal to exchange data with a
visual channel, you should be able to change time and visibility on the master
and all the slaved visual channels will match it.
Attached is a fix to add a short period of cranking time required
before the engine fires. I've also added a little hack to limit the
torque applied by the starter motor when the rpm is less than 10 in
order to avoid the rpm overshooting idle in the first time step when
the prop is producing very little resistance due to the low rpm.
- remove buffer with class scope
- remove variable 'length' (isn't used anywhere)
- make process_command private (it isn't used anywhere outside, and it
shouldn't be)
- define buffers where they are needed (two places)
- comment out stale debug message (it doesn't buy anything, because the
contents are output two lines below, anyway)
- let every error message begin with "ERR ". This makes error messages
less beautiful, but easier to recognize for scripts. Every internet
protocol that outputs text, has such a tag for distinguishing regular
output from error messages. (pop3 uses "-ERR ", smtp uses error codes,
etc.)

I've attached 3 diffs against files in FlightGear to fix some printf

fact that the properties work as they are supposed to, is that the

function to allow property files as non-option parameters after the
options have finished (and added "--" to terminate options). It's now
possible to do something like
fgfs denver-am.fgd
or even
fgfs at-lax.fgd in-c310.fgd around-sunset.fgd
This works the same way as the --config option, but will be friendlier
for GUIs, where start-up situation files can now be associated easily
with FlightGear.
Changed _set_Accels_Pilot_Body to use FGAuxiliary::GetNpilot instead
of FGAuxiliary::GetPilotAccel. It looks like a similar change was
started but never finished, and there are artifacts still lingering.
With this change, the slip/skid ball now works reasonably on the C172
when in motion, but not at rest (that will have to wait for fixes to
the gear code).
material-specific logic is now removed from the material library and
encapsulated in the material class itself, and materials are loaded
from $FG_ROOT/materials.xml rather than $FG_ROOT/materials. This also
removes a nasty bug in the old material-loading code that caused a
floating-point exception.
- automake-1.4 sets default values for INCLUDES which we can't
overwrite.
- automake-1.5 renames this to DEFAULT_INCLUDES and leaves INCLUDES
open for the developer to use.
Thus for automake-1.4 we are forced to 'append' to INCLUDES and in
automake-1.5 we can just set the value to whatever we like.
Unfortunately, the behaviors of the two versions are mutually
incompatible.
The solution I am committing now works for both versions but
automake-1.5 generates a lot of spurious warning messages that are
annoying, but not fatal.

has absolutely no bearing on actual wheel performance and has nothing to do
with the fdm. It is just a simplistic wheel spin velocity model used to
avoid subsequent squealing when a tire is bouncing, or touches down right after lifting off. If at some point tire spin is modeled by an FDM we could
transition to using real data.
FGInterface::_updateGeocentricPosition() for clarity. Also added an
FGInterface::_updateGeodeticPosition() since it is useful.
A few clean ups to native_fdm.cxx and raw_fdm.hxx.
These will log trace messages whenever a specific property value is
read or written through the property manager. They do not cause
FlightGear to poll bound values, so if a class variable that is bound
is changed directly, no trace message will be displayed.
These options are also useful in conjunction with a debugger.
--trace-read will cause the private SimGear SGPropertyNode::trace_read
method to be invoked, and --trace-write will cause the private SimGear
SGPropertyNode::trace_write method to be invoked; in a debugger
session, a user can set breakpoints on these methods then get a
backtrace to see what specific points in the code are reading or
writing properties.
works like this:
1. Parse preferences.xml, which will usually specify a default
aircraft using the /sim/aircraft property.
2. If /sim/aircraft is specified and not empty, parse the properties
in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml to set up a default
aircraft.
3. During command-line parsing, whenever the --aircraft option appears
set /sim/aircraft appropriately and parse the properties in
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml. Any --config, --prop, or
--aircraft options afterwards will take precedence.
more intuitive. We switch to an include in the preferences.xml to include
the default model, and then if the user specifies --aircraft=, that is
expanded immediately so portions can be overwritten by subsequent command
line options.
Here's an unusual patch for FlightGear -- I've created .cvsignore
files for every source directory, to make CVS output more informative.
This is especially nice when using cvs-examine from (X)Emacs to look
for changes.
a top level aircraft def file (c172-set.xml)
preferences.xml or --aircraft= or any other property setting mechanism can
be used to set the property "/sim/aircraft". After all options and config
files are parsed, the contents of /sim/aircraft is expanded into a *-set.xml
file and loaded.
Note there is still a problem when doing a 'reset' after doing
a 'goto'. Curt says: I also see that doing two subsequent reset's on a
JSBSim model results in a segfault in a deconstructor deep inside JSBSim.

Dynamics (Sim)ulator. Basically, this is a rough, first cut of a "different
take" on FDM design. It's intended to be very simple to use,
producing reasonable results for aircraft of all sorts and sizes,
while maintaining simulation plausibility even in odd flight
conditions like spins and aerobatics. It's at the point now where one
can actually fly the planes around.

(the global temperature property returns that at the aircrafts altitude) and
adding "information" to the airport name to avoid having to store it
in the default.atis file 1200 odd times.
Heres an update to the ATIS stuff. In brief:
The possible buffer overflow in the display with wind should
hopefully be fixed.
Temperature is taken from the global temperature property instead
of being hardwired.
The display class now includes an implementation of the member
function to change the repeating message.
The message callsign is no longer hardwired. The first message
from each station is generated with a random callsign.
Subsequent messages from the same station have the callsign
incremented every hour. A map of airport-id vs. last callsign and
transmission time is kept for each station that has transmitted for
the duration of the FlightGear session. The logic might be flaky if
FlightGear is run for more than 24 hours at a stretch between
visiting the same ATIS station though! (ie I don't check the day.)
This map is kept in the atislist class. This might not be the best
long-term place for it (in an ATC class of some sort might be
better), but it works for now.
What was happening was that we screwed up and scheduled tiles for
(lon,lon) rather than (lon,lat) ... note the typo. This generated
bogus tile id's which the system happily accepted, put into the tile
cache system, and attempted to load. The problem was that these bogus
tile id's were negative where as all valid tile id's should be >= 0.
These negative tile id's up the logic used to remove tiles from the
cache. When identifying tiles for removal, we look for the furthest
tile away from us by starting out the furthest id at -1 and if we find
something further, we update the furthest tile id. Then at the end we
check if the furthest tile id >= 0 to see if we found anything we
could remove. However, the furthest tile id was these bogus tiles
with negative tile id's so the system always assumed there was nothing
appropriate for removal. This made it impossible to ever remove a
tile from the cache meaning it quickly filled up and no more tiles
could be loaded.
I fixed the one instance of scheduling tiles for a bogus location, and
added a sanity check so if it ever happens again we'll bomb with an
appropriate error message.
ends of the same runway share the same frequency. This is probably the best
we can do until we impliment some sort of operator interface to manually set
which end is active (like is done in real life.)
fix startup sequence problems where we initialize the FDM before we know
the desired starting altitude.
These changes delay fdm initialization until the local tile has been loaded
and we can do a real intersection and find the true ground elevation.
In order to do this, I depend more on the property manager as glue, rather
than the FGInterface.
There are some glitches still when switching to a new airport or reseting
the sim. I will work on addressing these, but I need to commit the changes
so far to keep in sync with other developers.

the engine interface. This has no current effect on LaRCsim (other than
to make the code neater) but is necessary to add engine startup to JSBSim

committed in the previous round of changes - adding this will add
the cranking sound to LaRCsim during engine startup.

work fine though.

tile(s) until an entry frees up. Entries in the cache do not qualify for
removal if they are in the process of being loaded.

was putting a 'NULL' entry in the material library which was causing
the crash. It now checks for and skips bad aliases and prints a
warning message.
- moved shift-F3 (reload panel) bindings to XML
- moved shift-F4 (reload prefs) bindings to XML
- moved shift-F5, shift-F6, shift-F7, and shift-F8 (scroll panel) to
XML
- no longer includes Main/bfi.hxx
- added implementations of GLUTkey, GLUTkeyup, GLUTspecialkey, and
GLUTspecialkeyup
- include Input/input.hxx
- register GLUTkeyup and GLUTspecialkeyup with glut
- comment out call to fgJoystickRead
- comment out call to fgJoystickInit
- add call to FGInput::update to replace fgJoystickRead
this way, keyboard buttons can work the same way as joystick buttons
- added declaration for FGBinding::fire(double); this adds a setting
property to the arguments passed to the command, so that it can use
the current axis position as part of its calculations
- added data structures from joystick.cxx
- go back to using index as key code (otherwise, we'll get nasty
surprises when users try to override bindings)
- XML config file now nests bindings inside modifiers
- allow user to specify whether key is repeatable
- removed hard-coded bindings for 'b', ',', and '.'
- added code from joystick.cxx, with the following major changes:
- changed from js0, axis0, button0 to js[0], axis[0], button[0], etc.
- removed factor, offset, etc. since they will be args to command in
binding
- allow multiple bindings, as with key mappings
- allow access to keyboard modifier keys for bindings
- include infrastructure for modifiers (only FG_MOD_UP is used so far)
- removed unused 'saturation' property
- temporarily removed capture property and trim code; it will have to
be rewritten to be more generic
- allow modifiers for joystick buttons
want binding/property rather than binding/control
- removed hard-coded bindings for F3 (screenshot), Ctrl-S
(autothrottle), v (cycle view) and all of the keypad view-direction
keys; these are now defined in $FG_ROOT/keyboard.xml
- removed unused action method
a crash when relocating to a new airport. Pending work from the old
area is now just completed as normal, rather than trying to empty the various
queues in their various stages when can lead to many problems in a threaded
environment.
