- Runways are now part of an airport, instead of a separate list
- Runways are no longer represented as a boring struct, but as a class
of their own.
-Improved runway access to unify various runway access methods.
Various other patches that have been lingering around for a while:
* Moved trafficcontrol.[ch]xx from the Airports directory to ATC, where
it really belongs.
* AI aircraft will request startup clearance, and ground control will
approve.
* Starting AI Aircraft will be pushed back to a predefined holding point
on the ground network, and wait a while before taxiing out to the runway
own preferential runway support. In future versions, we might want to
condider having a more generic mechanism for this.
- Keep a history of active runway for each class, so that runway assignments
are more consistent after whether updates or time-related schedule changes.
I refactored the XML loading code out of FGAirportDynamics and
FGRunwayPreference. I also added a new class XMLLoader, which serves as a
facade to the loader functions. Further I changed FGRunwayPreference to just
keep a FGAirport ref, which is more concise and closer to the right(tm)
solution than storing the airport data a second time ;-)
- Ground network slow-down finally works as expected
(although occasionally causing a traffic jam)
- Hold position instruction now really sets speed to zero, in addition
it actually works now for crossing and two-way traffic
- Attempt to limit execution time of ground network trace algorithm
to make performance acceptable at high-density networks
- Removed remaining terminal messages
- Various minor tweaks and clean-ups
The original code selected the most preferable runway combination,
regardless of which combination was currently active. This patch
builds in some additional resistance against change, by keeping
track of which runways are already in use, and forces a change
in active runways only when new (wheather/time of day) conditions
force it to do so, resulting in much more consistent runway assignment.
behavior.
