if the station is too far away. Instead, simply return the closest station.
All the code that searches navaids does it's own range checking anyway.
This will make the navlist query functions a bit more useful for other
types of functionality where you may need to lookup a station without
consideration of range (i.e. presetting your position relative to a navaid.)
Modifications to support querying navaid database by station ID (not just
frequency.) Some corresponding changes to testnavs.cxx to test new
functionality.
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 :-)
When the loop starts, n.type is still undefined, so the while statement
depends on unitialized garbage. The input operator cares for the [End]
bracket anyway (returns if the first character is a '['). So it is safe
to check for it after reading the line and break if necessary.
good as we can get" until we find a data source with actual VOR magnetic
offsets. We can use VOR offsets from some fixed date, but not all VOR's
were installed on the same day so no matter what date we pick we will be off on most of them.
