Replace many lingering calls to exit() from the code,
replacing most with exception throws, which can be
caught by the existing mechanisms.
Update the option-parsing code to return an explicit
value indicating what to do (e.g., exit status to return
to the shell).
Many light aircraft include GPS loggers capable of recording the flight
path using IGC records. Lots of third party utilities are available to
analyze, process and convert igc files.
Usage: "fgfs --igc=file,out,1,OutputFile.igc"
- Enable the terrasync persistent cache
- Ensure terraysync scenery dirs exist before NavCache init, so the paths are stable
- Notify TerraSync on reposition, so we sync the full 3x3 set of tiles.
If you want a scenario in a particular session of the sim, ask for
it on the command line / config files, or enable in the GUI.
Note if you had previously 'sticky' scenarios in your autosave.xml, you
will still get them until you clean your autosave, or disable them in
the GUI.
"speed-up" can now also be used for slow-motion (i.e. 0.5 / 0.25 / ...)
or fractional speeds (3.141...). This was already working for instruments
(for replay) before, now it's also considered by FDM simulation.
For (future) easier testing of the sim, support a mode where only explicitly named config / option files are loaded, instead of the default ones. (Including, for example, preferences.xml). This currently produces a non-functional sim, but will soon be more useful :)
No behaviour should change unless you try the new option.
so package builders don't need local patches.
Also, instead of hardcoded firefox, use "xdg-open" or "sensible-browser"
launchers on Linux, to auto-detect user's preferred browser.
Override with cmake switch -DWEB_BROWSER=...
(Not affecting Mac/Win which are hard-coded anyway).
- move property /sim/auto-coordination to
/controls/flight/auto-coordination
- introduce new property /controls/flight/auto-coordination-factor
with default of 0.5
- auto-coordinate the rudder if auto-coordination is true and the factor
is greater than zero
backward compatibility for the old property is temporary provided by
a temporary Nasal hack in FGDATA/Nasal/aircraft.nas
Replace SG_GENERAL by more specific log classes in many places.
Allow "," to separate logging classes (using "|" is odd on the
command-line).
Also add new option to make logging more useful for developers.
You can use:
--log-level=debug --log-class=environment
to only get environment debug messages, or
--log-level=debug --log-class=sound,ai
to only get debug messages related to the sound or AI subsystem.
Add range checks and provide error messages.
Extend time offset to 64bit - so we're safe for 2038-01-19 (and the next
couple of millions years beyond...).
Support partial date/time strings, such as --start-date-gmt=2011 or
--start-date-gmt=:::12:00:00
