Add a bool flag isRoute to flight-plan, and use it to model
routes (which contain VIAs) from plans/legs, which do not.
Default isRoute to false, so most users only see expanded
Vias, and hence something that can be flown directly.
Allow making the AP source indirect (via a string property),
so that the actual source property can be configured or
adjusted from a -set.xml, or at runtime.
This is by Lars Toenning <dev@ltoenning.de>, Roman Ludwicki <romek21@op.pl> and
SDeAstis <salvatore.deastis@gmail.com>, in 2021 Hackathon.
Also cope with removal of SGPropertyNode::getName() - use getNameString()
instead.
If /sim/highlighting/enabled is true, we highlight animated objects under the
pointer, and also highlight other objects that are animated by the same or
related properties.
The intent here is to be able to give a visual indication of what cockpit
controls do or what cockpit controls affect particular aircraft objects - for
example moving the pointer over the flaps will highlight the flaps and also
highlight any controls or rotary indicators in the cockpit that are associated
with the flaps.
To make this work, we have to discover associations between properties. This
is currently done for YASim (e.g. associations between /controls/flight/flaps
and /surface-positions/flap-pos-norm) and autopilot filters (e.g. with
the 777, digital filters associate /controls/flight/rudder-nul with
/fcs/fbw/yaw/rudder-ratio-out). We don't currently gather associations between
properties in JSBSim
We also detect associations between dialogs, menus and keypresses and
properties, which is used to populate /sim/highlighting/current with
information about dialogs, menus and keypresses that are associated with the
currently highlighted nodes' properties.

src/GUI/Highlight.cxx
src/GUI/Highlight.hxx
src/GUI/CMakeLists.txt
src/Main/fg_init.cxx
New subsystem called 'highlight', with support for registering and
recovering links between menus, dialogs, keypresses and OSG node
animations.
Provides a function Highlight::highlight_nodes() which highlights
related nodes using internal NodeHighlighting class, and populates
/sim/highlighting/current with information about related dialogs, menus and
keypresses.
The NodeHighlighting class works by making nodes use an alternative
StateSet which shows up as a distinct material on screen. We remember each
highlighted node's original StateSet so that we can un-highlight. We update
the material parameters using a listener for /sim/highlighting/material,
which allows some control over the appearence of highlighted nodes.
src/FDM/flight.cxx
src/FDM/flight.hxx
Added virtual method FGInterface::property_associations() which returns
property associations from the FDM. Default implementation returns empty
set. Implemented in YASim, but not (yet) in JSBSim. Uses a simple function
pointer at the moment to avoid requring FDMs to use recent C++ features.
src/FDM/YASim/FGFDM.cpp
src/FDM/YASim/FGFDM.hpp
src/FDM/YASim/YASim.cxx
src/FDM/YASim/YASim.hxx
Gathers information about property associations on startup such as
/controls/flight/flaps => /surface-positions/flap-pos-norm, then
YASim::property_associations() overrides default implementation to return
these associations.
src/Autopilot/analogcomponent.cxx
src/Autopilot/analogcomponent.hxx
src/Autopilot/digitalfilter.cxx
src/Autopilot/inputvalue.cxx
src/Autopilot/inputvalue.hxx
Filters now gather information about their input/output properties and
register with Highlight::add_property_property(). For example this makes
highlighting work on the 777, where pilot controls affect control surfaces
only via filters.
src/GUI/new_gui.cxx
Scan menus, keypresses and dialogs and register associations with
Highlight::add_*().
src/GUI/property_list.cxx
src/GUI/property_list.hxx
src/GUI/FGPUIDialog.cxx
Added <readonly> flag to property-list. If set, we don't show .. or . items
and don't respond to mouse/keyboard.
Used by fgdata's new Highlighting dialogue.
src/Model/acmodel.cxx
src/Model/acmodel.hxx
Visit the user aircraft's scene graph when it is loaded, gathering
information about osg::Node's that are animated by properties, and register
these associations with Highlight::add_property_node().
src/Viewer/renderer.cxx
When scanning for pick highlights, use Highlight::highlight_nodes() to
highlight animated objects under the pointer and related objects.
Added <startup-current> param. Default is false which preserves previous
behaviour where internal state is initialised to zero. Otherwise we initialise
internal state using the current error value, which can reduce oscillations.
Added <startup-its> param, default is zero. For the first <startup-its>
iterations we don't update the output, which can be used to cope with initial
bad data from earlier controllers.
Also refactored the code to hopefully make it clearer and modified debug
logging to output all info in a single statement and on a single line for
clarity.
For example avoid initial oscillations with:
<pid-controller>
..
<startup-current>true</startup-current>
...
</pid-controller>
Re-creating the route-path every update is wasteful, just cache it
until the roue changes. Since we already have similar logic for
the property-tree waypoint mirror, just piggy-back off that.
- exclude POIs and some other types from the ident match, to avoid
confusing results
- improve how the search vicinity is computed when inserting a leg,
which is the common case for a route with a destination set. Use
the midpoint of the leg ending at the insert position, as the optimal
search vicinity
- move the waypointFromString code into route.cxx, since it is mostly
independent of a FlightPlan instance
- extend the tests to cover the bug which flagged these issues

Prevent errors from property code when leading / trailing whitespace
occurs in the autopilot XML, in a property path. Use strutils::strip
to remove whitespace.

Speculative fix for a reposition assert which Huntley is seeing:
https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/2229/
Unclear why it’s not happening for me other some other folks, but this
should logically be the correct fix. Let’s find out.
This fixes an error where the ‘serviceable’ property is tie()-ed twice.
The actual AP components don’t use bind (and aren’t created until init(),
so this only affects the serviceable property.
Use a new SGPropertyNode flag, LISTENER_SAFE, to white-list properties
where we do correctly fire listeners, and test this flag when listening
from Nasal, to avoid the warning.
One test so far, attempting to reproduce a bug I see with the 737.
Note these tests are skipped unless you have procedures available
and set a magic env var to find them.
The _name, get_name(), and set_name() variables and functions have been removed.
The Component::get_name() function is now handled by Subsystem::subsystemId(),
and Component::set_name() replaced by SGSubsystem::set_name(). The
Component::_name variable is replaced by SGSubsystem::_subsystemId.
This is a clean up commit prior to the subsystem API standardisation to simplify
the diffs. It includes all SGSubsystem and SGSubsystemGroup derived classes.
Since the subsystem manager tracks group state, it now binds/inits
automatically. This means groups which create subsystems during init
no longer need to manually bind() them.
Change fgcommand to take an optional property tree root element.
This fixes the animation bindings to use the defined property tree root - to support multiplayer (or other) model that can bind to the correct part of the property tree.
Requires a corresponding fix in sg to allow the command methods to take an optional root parameter.
What this means is that when inside someone else's multiplayer model (e.g. backseat, or co-pilot), the multipalyer (AI) model will correctly modify properties inside the correct part of the property tree inside (/ai), rather than modifying the properties inside the same part of the tree as the non-ai model.
This means that a properly setup model will operate within it's own space in the property tree; and permit more generic multiplayer code to be written.
This is probably responsible for some of the pollution of the root property tree with MP aircraft properties.
