+ The wing compilation step was accidentally omitting regions that lie
between the tips and the first/last control object. That's a real
problem for wings that contain no controls, and a significant issue
for those that contain only a few. I'm stunned that this went
undetected for so long.
+ The Surface::flapLift() function was oddly returning 1.0 Newtons as
a minimum, instead of zero.
(this was the reason why the first two text lines on the splash screen
looked more blurry than the others). BTW: I played with other values
than -0.5, but this turned out to be the best already. It makes textures
sharper than 0, but not too sharp (and thus flickering).
track and is a PITA for support staff. It's this message:

than tick marks, and looser (zoomed) than the other 40%. Rationale:
- this was only used in *one* tape of *one* HUD ("custom")
- it's not in the MIL-STD!
- doesn't seem very useful
- relies on integer scale values, while we now have float values in the new HUD
This feature would have had to be rewritten anyway. If someone needs it and
can come forward with a (MIL-)STD description, then it can be added to the
existing tape generator again (using a value->screen-position mapper function).
Otherwise it's simply declared dead.
(Yay, one TODO and a few FIXMEs less. ;-)
encapsulation, but a real namespace would probably be better)
- extend alignment to optionally adjust x/y, and to return absolute
l/r/b/t coordinates (as opposed to plib's relative ones!)
- implement tape gaps as per Curt's order :-)
- shuffling stuff around for fun
- add generic text adjustment and
- use it in the ladder: climb -> vert bar on the outside, numbers below line
dive -> vert bar on the inside, numbers above line
work for ground based distance separation of AIAircraft.
Traffic manager initialization related changes:
- Schedules initialize "on the fly", instead of during initialization
- Invalid routes are no longer deleted, but marked as BOGUS and ignored
- Changed loading order from a distance based prioritization to a point-
score based prioritization, resulting in a much faster establisment of
AIAircraft near the user's plane.
Preparatory work for ground-based separation of Aircraft.
- The groundnetwork findShrortestRoute function not only returns a list
of waypoints, but also a list of taxi "segments" (a.k.a. taxiways).
- The taxiway list is stored in the Flightplan, and updated everytime
a new taxi leg is created.
implications.
Fix the ladder so it "moves" around in the hud correctly based on alpha/beta
offset projected onto the horizon line so the horizon is always the horizon.
using Curt's new speed adjustment code. 2) Separated the function
FlightPlanCreateCruise() into a new source file in preparation of a more
elaborate airway following scheme.
