I attach 2 new files and a diff file for the associated changes to add a
“fluxgate compass” to the instrument inventory. Whist this outputs
essentially the same data as /orientation/heading-magnetic-deg, it has to
be powered, and can be made to fail. I also followed Roy’s suggestion to
generate the error properties for this instrument here rather than in
xmlauto.xml.

When this instrument is included in cvs, I intend to use it in the Hunter,
A4F Seahawk and KC135. After a bit more research, it might be appropriate
for the Spitfire and Hurricane as well. AJ would also like to use it for his
Lightning model.

This patch makes use of the vectors now available in simgear with that past
patch. And using that it simplyfies the carrier code somehow.

- Small additional factory's to the quaternion code are done in the simgear
  part. Also more explicit unit names in the factory functions.
- The flightgear part makes use of them and simplyfies some computations
  especially in the carrier code.
- The data part fixes the coordinate frames I used for the park positions in
  the carrier to match the usual ones. I believed that I had done so, but it
  was definitly different. Also there are more parking positions avaliable now.

da6568ad50 Mathias Frhlich:
The new multiplayer patch with an extension to transmit some properties with
the base package. The properties are transmitted in a way that will not
immediately brake the packet format if we need new ones.
Even if the maxmimum number needs to be limited somehow, that format might
work well until we have an improoved packet format which is even more compact
and that does not require to retransmit redundant information with each
packet.

That part is relatively fresh and based on that what Oliver provides on his
multiplayer server web page.

The properties are transferred to the client and I have modified the seahawks
rudder animation property to use a relative property path to verify that it
works appart from the fact that you can see it changing in the property
browser.

The movement is still a bit jerky, but that can be fixed/tuned later without
again braking the packet format.

14c3bc5932 Architectural fix allowing the "tip" popups (FOV, view name, etc...)
to pop themselves down while the simulator is paused.

The problem was with the "real time" queue in the event manager,
causing the third argument of Nasal's settimer() (a flag for "sim
time") to be ignored.  Inverts the default sense of the argument, as
there are lots of uses of settimer() in the current code, almost none
of which want to use real time.

Note this fix introduces a header file incompatibility in SimGear --
be sure to update.

029dda3297 In the process of changing, adding and removing files the last few years
there was the situation where four directories contained jst two files,
of which three directories were aircraft related, and one directory contained
test code from Curt that might be better of in SimGear anyhow.

This is just a patch to move a bunch of files to new locations. In case of
local changes to any of them you can do the following:

move replay.[ch]xx from src/Replay to src/Aircraft
move control.[ch]xx from src/Control to src/Aircraft
move ssgEntityArray.[ch]xx from src/Objects to simgear/screen

In addition it has been decided only to use .[ch]xx files in all directories
unless it's contained within an FDM specific directory, in which case the
author is free to do whatever (s)he wants.

In this repspect the following files have been renamed in src/Multiplayer:

tiny_xdr.[ch]pp has become tiny_xdr.[ch]xx
multiplaymgr.[ch]pp has become multiplaymgr.[ch]xx

0bb1494452 David Luff:
Attached is a patch to the airport data storage that I would like committed
after review if acceptable.  Currently the storage of airports mapped by ID
is by locally created objects - about 12 Meg or so created on the stack if
I am not mistaken.  I've changed this to creating the airports on the heap,
and storing pointers to them - see FGAirportList.add(...) in
src/Airports/simple.cxx.  I believe that this is probably better practice,
and it's certainly cured some strange problems I was seeing when accessing
the airport data with some gps unit code.  Changes resulting from this have
cascaded through a few files which access the data - 11 files are modified
in all.  Melchior and Durk - you might want to test this and shout if there
are problems since the metar and traffic code are probably the biggest
users of the airport data.  I've also added a fuzzy search function that
returns the next matching airport code in ASCII sequence in order to
support gps units that have autocompletion of partially entered codes.

More generally, the simple airport class seems to have grown a lot with the
fairly recent addition of the parking, runway preference and schedule time
code.  It is no longer just an encapsulation of the global airport data
file, and has grown to 552 bytes in size when unpopulated (about 1/2 a K!).
 My personal opinion is that we should look to just store the basic data in
apt.dat for all global airports in a simple airport class, plus globally
needed data (metar available?), and then have the traffic, AI and ATC
subsystems create more advanced airports for themselves as needed in the
area of interest.  Once a significant number of airports worldwide have
ground networks and parking defined, it will be impractical and unnecessary
to store them all in memory.  That's just a thought for the future though.

7b824755ee Mathias Frhlich:
I have prepared a patch that:
- Introduces a FGTileMgr::scenery_available method which asks the tilemanager
  if scenery for a given range around a lat/lon pair is already loaded and make
  use of that method at some -9999 meter checks.
- Introduces a FGScenery::get_elevation_m method which queries the altitude at
  a given position. In constrast to the groundcache functions this is the best
  choice if you ask for one *single* altitude value. Make use of that thing in
  AI/ATC classes and for the current views ground level. At the current views
  part the groundcache is reused if possible.
- The computation of the 'current groundlevel' is no longer done on the
  tilemanagers update since the required functions are now better seperated.

Alltogether it eliminates somehow redundant terrain level computations which
are now superseeded by that more finegrained functions and the existence of
the groundcache. Additionally it introduces an api to commonly required
functions which was very complex to do prevously.

4df7a3e9f8 Mathias Frhlich:
I have introduced the posibility to start directly on the carrier.

With that patch you will have a --carrrier=id argument where id can either be
the pennant number configured in the nimitz scenario or the carriers name
also configured in the carriers scenario.
Additionaly you can use --parkpos=id to select different positions on the
carrier. They are also configured in the scenario file.

That includes the switch of the whole FGInterface class to make use of the
groundcache.
That means that an aircraft no longer uses the current elevation value from
the scenery class. It rather has its own local cache of the aircrafts
environment which is setup in the common_init method of FGInterface and
updated either manually by calling
 FGInterface::get_groundlevel_m(lat, lon, alt_m);
or implicitly by calling the above method in the
 FGInterface::_updateGeo*Position(lat, lon, alt);
methods.
A call get_groundlevel_m rebuilds the groundcache if the request is outside
the range of the cache.

Note that for the real usage of the groundcache including the correct
information about the movement of objects and the velocity information, you
still need to set up the groundcache in the usual way like YASim and JSBSim
currently does.
If you use the native interface, you will get only static objects correctly.
But for FDM's only using one single ground level for a whole step this is IMO
sufficient.

The AIManager gets a way to return the location of a object which is placed
wrt an AI Object. At the moment it only honours AICarriers for that.
That method is a static one, which loads the scenario file for that reason and
throws it away afterwards. This looked like the aprioriate way, because the
AIManager is initialized much later in flightgears bootstrap, and I did not
find an easy way to reorder that for my needs. Since this additional load is
very small and does only happen if such a relative location is required, I
think that this is ok.

Note that moving on the carrier will only work correctly for JSBSim and YASim,
but you should now be able to start and move on every not itself moving
object with any FDM.

86249209b9 This is a work in progress. I am extending the "ExternalPipe" protocol to
have a "property" mode as well as the original "binary" mode.  The property mode
will allow the remote module to request any set of properties, and it will send
those properties each frame.  The remote module can reply with a list of arbitrary
property name/value pairs to update on the FlightGear side.

This is a first stab, so it's not the cleanest, most well concieved code, but it
allows an external module (communicating via a pipe) to have a huge amount of
flexibility in the data in can access and update.

RE: --aircraft=ufo in system.fgfsrc is ignored

To change a 'feature', one that has been mentioned here many

In its favour, I would argue this means FG can be run without

I've finished the emigration of the radiostack, and I've also removed it
completely. It turned out that the comm radio is completely implemented in
the ATC subsystem. I've changed the affected ATC files to point
to /instrumentation/com, but I guess that the maintainer of the ATC code
should decide wether to make it configureable, and how.

I also had to change some files in Network and Main. The changes in network
should be obvious, but the changes in Main were a bit suspect. The files
included radiostack.hxx, but they weren't directly depending on
radiostack-hxx. They were depending on other files that were included by
radiostack.hxx. I got it to compile, but I'm not sure if I included the
correct directly depending file.

For the data directory I changed every occurrence of /radios/
with /instrumentation/ with this simple one-liner that I found on the net:

find -name '*.xml' -type f | xargs perl -pi -e
's/\/radios\//\/instrumentation\//g'

Instead of me sending all the files that got changed by this I suggest that
you execute the one-liner yourself. Of course I can not guarantee that this
will work perfectly, but I considered hand editing to be not an option (I'm
lazy). I don't want to test every aircraft to see if everything still works,
I think it's better to wait and see if anyone complaints about broken nav
radios/instruments.

Also, for an ILS approach, use the GS transmitter elevation for glide slope

a3cde21637 Curt Olson:
These change add some code that at initialization time will snap all
localizers into perfect alignment with their runways.  It's my experience
that the DAFIF/FAA data reports runway and localizer headings to a level
of precision that is great for making charts, or adjusting your OBS, etc.
But the level of precision of this data can be far enough off to make you
visibly *un*aligned with the runway when the CDI needle is centered.

There are probably cases where the localizer isn't really perfectly
aligned with the runway, or intentionally misaligned to avoid obstacles
or terrain.  So I have made this configurable for those that trust the
data more than I do.  Just set "/sim/navdb/auto-align-localizers" to
true/false in the preferences file to turn this feature on or off in the

b2b33f7582 This set of changes impliments the following:
- FG now directly supports Robin's native nav database file format.
- His latest data now separates out dme, gs, loc, and marker beacon
  transmitters rather than lumping them all into a single "ILS" record.
- These new data structure changes prompted me to do some code restructuring
  so that internally these different types of navaids are all kept as
  separate lists and searched and handled separately.
- This structural change had a cascading affect on any code that
  references or uses the nav databases.  I've gone and "touched" a lot of
  nav related code in a lot of places.
- As an added bonus, the new data (and code) adds DME bias so these will
  all now read as they do in real life.

- Added Navaids/navdb.cxx and Navaids/navdb.hxx which provide a front
  end loaders for the nav data.
- Added Navaids/navrecord.hxx which is a new "generic" nav data record.
- Removed Navaids/ils.hxx, Navaids/ilslist.cxx, Navaids/ilslist.hxx,
  Navaids/mkrbeacons.cxx, and Navaids/mkrbeacons.hxx which are all now
  depricated.

2119db35c3 This is step "1" of probably "many" in the process of separating out the
scene management code and organizing it within simgear.  My strategy is
to identify the code I want to move, and break it's direct flightgear
dependencies.  Then it will be free to move over into the simgear package.

- Moved some property specific code into simgear/props/
- Split out the condition code from fgfs/src/Main/fg_props and put it
  in it's own source file in simgear/props/
- Created a scene subdirectory for scenery, model, and material property
  related code.
- Moved location.[ch]xx into simgear/scene/model/
- The location and condition code had dependencies on flightgear's global
  state (all the globals-> stuff, the flightgear property tree, etc.)  SimGear
  code can't depend on it so that data has to be passed as parameters to the
  functions/methods/constructors.
- This need to pass data as function parameters had a dramatic cascading
  effect throughout the FlightGear code.

Modify fgInitPos() so that the plane is not automatically aligned with

was explicitly requested, or (b) the plane is on the ground with no
offset distance specified.  To set up the plane lined up on an
approach to a runway, use something like

  fgfs --airport=CYOW --runway=32 --altitude=300 --offset-distance=0.5

This way, it's possible to specify a starting position relative to an
airport without getting snapped onto a runway approach (unless you
want to be).

52312f2a13 Restructuring some of the initialization code.
The general idea is to help clean up some aspects of the FDM init and be
able to provide startup conditions in a less ambiguous manner.

Previously, things like positions, orientations, and velocites were set on
"the bus".  These had to be read by the FDMs which then were supposed to
initialized themselves to those values and turn write around and start
modifying those values.  It was messy and cumbersome.

Now, all the initial fdm conditions are written to a sub-[property-]tree
under /sim/presets/

The values in /sim/presets/ always stay set to what the user has specified.
The user can change these at his/her liesure, and then request a "reset"
which will reset to the new conditions.  I don't even want to say how this
worked before. :-)

Now, an script, or gui interface can stage a set of initial conditions while
the sim is running (without disrupting it), and then call "reset" to commit
the change.

People who should worry about all this are FDM writters, and a small few
others who care about over all program structure and flow.

72017fc671 Andy Ross:
The biggest and coolest patch adds mouse sensitivity to the 3D
cockpits, so we can finally work the radios.  This ended up requiring
significant modifications outside of the 3D cockpit code.  Stuff folks
will want to look at:

+ The list of all "3D" cockpits is stored statically in the
   panelnode.cxx file.  This is clumsy, and won't migrate well to a
   multiple-aircraft feature.  Really, there should be a per-model list
   of 3D panels, but I couldn't find a clean place to put this.  The
   only handle you get back after parsing a model is a generic ssg
   node, to which I obviously can't add panel-specific methods.

+ The aircraft model is parsed *very* early in the initialization
   order.  Earlier, in fact, than the static list of allowable command
   bindings is built in fgInitCommands().  This is bad, as it means
   that mouse bindings on the instruments can't work yet.  I moved the
   call to fgInitCommands, but someone should look carefully to see
   that I picked the right place.  There's a lot of initialization
   code, and I got a little lost in there... :)

+ I added yet another "update" hook to the fgRenderFrame routine to
   hook the updates for the 3D panels.  This is only required for
   "mouse press delay", and it's a fairly clumsy mechanism based on
   frame rate instead of real time.  There appears to be delay handling
   already in place in the Input stuff, and there's a discussion going
   on about different mouse behavior right now.  Maybe this is a good
   time to unify these two (now three) approaches?

df6989a37a Bernie Bright:
Here is a FGIO class derived from FGSubsystem that replaces the fgIOInit()
and fgIOProcess() functions.  The FGIO::update(double delta) doesn't use the
delta argument yet.  I suspect it could be used as a replacement for the
calculated interval value but I'm not familiar enough with that piece of code
just yet.

I've also added two "command properties" to fg_commands.cxx that select the
next or previous view.  Writing any value to these properties triggers the
corresponding action.  As an example I modified my keyboard.xml:

 <key n="118">
  <name>v</name>
  <desc>Next view</desc>
  <binding>
   <command>property-assign</command>
   <property>/command/view/next</property>
   <value type="bool">true</value>
  </binding>
 </key>

 <key n="86">
  <name>V</name>
  <desc>Prev view</desc>
  <binding>
   <command>property-assign</command>
   <property>/command/view/prev</property>
   <value type="bool">true</value>
  </binding>
 </key>

And of course these actions can also be triggered from external scripts via
the props server.

b1674cb506 From: "Jim Wilson" <jimw@kelcomaine.com>
This is a new improved patch for the previous tile manager fixes.

Rather than building dependencies between FGlocation or the viewer or fdm with
tilemgr what I ended up doing was linking the pieces together in the Mainloop
in main.cxx.  You'll see what I mean...it's been commented fairly well.  More
than likely we should move that chunk somewhere...just not sure where yet.

The changes seem clean now. As I get more ideas there could be some further
improvement in organizing the update in tilemgr.  You'll note that I left an
override in there for the tilemgr::update() function to preserve earlier
functionality if someone needs it (e.g. usage independent of an fdm or
viewer), not to mention there are a few places in flightgear that call it
directly that have not been changed to the new interface (and may not need to be).

The code has been optimized to avoid duplicate traversals and seems to run
generally quite well.  Note that there can be a short delay reloading tiles
that have been dropped from static views.  We could call the tile scheduler on
a view switch, but it's not a big deal and at the moment I'd like to get this
in so people can try it and comment on it as it is.

Everything has been resycned with CVS tonight and I've included the
description submitted earlier (below).

Best,

Jim

Changes synced with CVS approx 20:30EDT 2002-05-09 (after this evenings updates).

Files:
http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/viewer-update-20020516.tar.gz
 or
http://www.spiderbark.com/fgfs/viewer-update-20020516.diffs.gz

Description:
In a nutshell, these patches begin to take what was one value for ground
elevation and calculate ground elevation values seperately for the FDM and the
viewer (eye position).  Several outstanding view related bugs have been fixed.

With the introduction of the new viewer code a lot of that Flight Gear code
broke related to use of a global variable called "scenery.cur_elev".

Therefore the ground_elevation and other associated items (like the current
tile bucket) is maintained per FDM instance and per View.  Each of these has a
"point" or location that can be identified.  See changes to FGLocation class
and main.cxx.

Most of the problems related to the new viewer in terms of sky, ground and
runway lights, and tower views are fixed.

There are four minor problems remaining.  1) The sun/moon spins when you pan
the "lookat" tower view only (view #3).  2) Under stress (esp. magic carpet
full speed with max visibility), there is a memory leak in the tile caching
that was not introduced with these changes.  3) I have not tested these
changes or made corrections to the ADA or External FDM interfaces.  4) The
change view function doesn't call the time/light update (not a problem unless
a tower is very far away).

Details:
FDM/flight.cxx, flight.hxx - FGInterface ties to FGAircraftModel so that it's
 location data can be accessed for runway (ground elevation under aircraft)
 elevation.

FDM/larsim.cxx, larcsim.hxx - gets runway elevation from FGInterface now.
Commented out function that is causing a namespace conflict, hasn't been
called with recent code anyway.

FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx, YASim/YASim.cxx - gets runway elevation from
FGInterface now.

Scenery/newcache.cxx, newcache.hxx - changed caching scheme to time based
(oldest tiles discard).

Scenery/tileentry.cxx, tileentry.hxx - added place to record time, changed
rendering to reference viewer altitude in order to fix a problem with ground
and runway lights.

Scenery/tilemgr.cxx, tilemgr.hxx - Modified update() to accept values for
multiple locations.   Refresh function added in  order to periodically make
the tiles current for a non-moving view (like a tower).

Main/fg_init.cxx - register event for making tiles current in a non-moving
view (like a tower).

Main/location.hxx - added support for current ground elevation data.

Main/main.cxx - added second tilemgr call for fdm, fixed places where viewer
position data was required for correct sky rendering.

Main/options.cxx - fixed segfault reported by Curtis when using --view-offset
command line parameter.

Main/viewer.cxx, viewer.hxx - removed fudging of view position. Fixed numerous
bugs that were causing eye and target values to get mixed up.

18e36a3302 UFO FDM patches from Jonathan Polley:
I have finished working the bugs out of my "Enhanced" version of the Magic
Carpet FDM.  The UFO FDM works the same as the Magic Carpet with the
following exceptions:

The aircraft's pitch is determined by the Elevator setting (with a pitch
rate of 45 degrees per second).
Climb is forward velocity * sin(pitch)
Speed is forward velocity * soc(pitch)

Roll is tied to the aileron (again, with a roll rate of 45 degrees per
second)
Turn rate is sin(roll) * 45 degrees.

Yes, this does mean that turning is quite a bit more sluggish than
climbing.

If you are wondering why a UFO FDM, it is because it's best that I not
replace the existing magic carpet and this FDM does behave like a UFO (it
hovers, can spin and pitch while hovering, and does not obey the laws of
physics ;)

42a5ee93d7 This patch includes the FGLocation class, a few fixes, cleanup in viewer code.
Synced to CVS 19:36 EDT 2002-04-10 (after this evenings JSMsim and Base
package updates).

Description:
Added FGLocation class which is new home for calculating matrix rotations.
Viewer can now be configured to access rotations created by the model rather
than repeating the same calculations again.

Changed model initialization for the time being so that its location data is
available for the viewer (currently required by other subsystems).  At some
point we can move this back to fg_init along with the viewer initialization.

Seperated the update from the draw function in the model code.  The viewer
code needs the same matrix data, and moving the update portion at this time
does not increase the number of matrix math iterations.

Moved the model draw so that it always appears "in front" of lights and clouds.

Reogranized viewer update routine for using the FGLocation class and
simplified some more tasks.  The routine is fairly easy to follow now, with
the steps ordered and spelled out in comments.

Viewmgr only updates the current (visible) view now, with the exception of an
old reference to "chase view" that will be corrected in forthcoming changes.
Also will be doing some work on the viewmgr outputs.

Model is now clears the z-buffer in all modes.  This will be changed with the
next viewmgr update.  The only side effect is that models always disappear
when over 5km distant from the eye point (can't really see them anyway:-)).

Other than a flag to indicate "internal" view I don't anticipate the
configuration interface for viewmgr/views will be changed a lot for now.  It
is close to done.  The next viewmgr update will however rework the outputs so
may change location.

This code will run with the previous version of preferences.xml, but will run
faster with the newer version.  I am attaching a preferences.xml that should
not be commited before the code.  All the changes are in the /sim/view section
and should show a simpler view configuration that references model locations.
 Note that I've added a 2nd tower view in "lookfrom" mode for illustration
purposes. You can look around using the mouse.  You may want to remove that or
comment it out.

a1294ea398 Viewer update from Jim Wilson:
Minor patches to initial tower view code.  Added calculation for "tower" at
any airport, placed a couple fractions of a degree off the center.  Moved the
farplane from 100m to 5km so that "lookfrom" mode can see the model.  5km is
still in a reasonable range for a depth buffer.  Note that looking at a model
anything but a small distance will cause some problems on older cards.
Temporarily changed viewer to always report elevation/lon/lat of the aircraft
in order to avoid a problem with the ground trim getting recalculated when
tower and aircraft are on different tiles.

7543409e47 Attached are a fairly extensive series of patches to the ATC
system.  A chap from Germany called Alexander Kappes (cc'd) got
in touch with me a few weeks ago and has written the start of
Approach control.  At the moment tuning in to a valid approach
frequency (Dortmund or East Midlands) should result in vectors to
a spot about 3 miles from the active runway, and a telling off if you
stray too far from the correct course, in the console window.  He
seems to know what he's doing so expect this to improve rapidly!!

I've added a rudimentry AI manager and a hardwired Cessna at
KEMT on the runway - I'll remove it before the next release if I don't
have it flying by then.  There seems to be an issue with framerate
which drops alarmingly when looking at it - I've a feeling that I've
possibly created several Cessnas on top of each other, but am not
sure.

06bf5db80a Working on the start of a 'standard' <grin> remote FDM interface. This

flightgear can 'reliably' send commands to the remote fdm (such as set
starting position, reset on ground, etc.)

another) but it is much neater than the current hack and should be
easily extendable.

the bindings to the comm frequencies but I'll leave removing those

completely -- everything now uses properties or goes through
FGGlobals.  FGGlobals itself has a couple of useful methods:

  const FGEnvironment * get_environment ();
  const FGEnvironment * get_environment (double lat, double lon, double alt);

The first one returns the environment data for the plane's current
position, while the second returns the environment data for any
arbitrary location.  Currently, they both return the same information,
but that will change soon.

2. If /sim/aircraft is specified and not empty, parse the properties
in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml to set up a default
aircraft.

3. During command-line parsing, whenever the --aircraft option appears
set /sim/aircraft appropriately and parse the properties in
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml.  Any --config, --prop, or
--aircraft options afterwards will take precedence.

These changes delay fdm initialization until the local tile has been loaded
and we can do a real intersection and find the true ground elevation.

In order to do this, I depend more on the property manager as glue, rather
than the FGInterface.

There are some glitches still when switching to a new airport or reseting
the sim.  I will work on addressing these, but I need to commit the changes
so far to keep in sync with other developers.

b6a259dc90 Fixes for win_ratio/aspect_ratio confusion. It was due to confusion in the
meaning of "win_ratio".  I've removed win_ratio and added fov_ratio and
aspect_ratio, as it seems both are needed.

n.b. The multi-line changes in fgReshape comprise:
  extracting common code,
  removing an apparently arbitrary "+1" on the view height,
  changing "set_win_ratio" to "set_aspect_ratio".

20f50d349f CM:
I've updated the WeatherDatabase to be able to use only the n closest
stations. This can speed up the initalization dramatically.

To take a benefit from that you need:

- http://129.13.102.67/out/flight/current.txt.gz in
  FG_ROOT/weather/current.txt.gz
- --prop:/environment/weather/working-type=internet
- --prop:/environment/weather/max-stations=what_ever_you_want

The WeatherCM stuff now publishes its data in the property system.

    /environment/weather/wind-north-mps
    /environment/weather/wind-east-mps
    /environment/weather/wind-up-mps
    /environment/weather/temperature-K
    /environment/weather/air-pressure-Pa
    /environment/weather/vapor-pressure-Pa
    /environment/weather/air-density

are the new properties.

94f745e3ea I'm attaching diffs to add a new FGInput module to FlightGear
(src/Input).  So far, FGInput replaces most of src/Main/keyboard.cxx
(I've left a tiny stub); in the very near future, it will also take
over control of the joystick, mouse (Norm permitting), and panel
instrument interactions, so that there is a single mechanism for
configuring all input devices.

The new format should be (close to) self-explanatory by looking at the
new base-package file keyboard.xml, which is now included by
preferences.xml (I'll do the same thing for the joystick when I have a
chance).  I have not managed to move all keybindings into this file
yet, but I've made a good start.  I'm including Tony in the recipient
list so that he can see how bindings can use an external XML file.

This patch also adds support for multiple bindings for a single key,
special keys (i.e. keypad and function keys), and key modifiers
(shift/alt/ctrl); special keys use the PUI convention of adding 256 to
the Glut key code.

Unfortunately, everything comes with a price; in this case, I have not
yet found a general mechanism for the old (hard-coded) modal bindings,
which behaved differently depending on the autopilot state (i.e. left
rudder or move AP heading left); with my patches, this functionality
disappears, but you can still adjust the autopilot using the panel or
the GUI input dialogs.

65f6e343ab From David Megginson:
The files in the attached tarball make the following changes to
FlightGear:

- rename the existing FGInterface::init() method to
FGInterface::_setup to get it out of the way

- move *all* FDM initialization code out of src/Main/fg_init.cxx and
into FGInterface::init(), and clean up fg_init.cxx a little
(especially by removing the zillions of attempts to place the plane on
the ground at various locations in the code)

- modify FGInterface::bind() so that no values are picked up
automatically at bind time (they are set previously by init() instead)

- modify the init() methods of the classes derived from FGInterface
(i.e. larcsim, jsbsim, balloon, magic, and ada) to invoke
FGInterface::init() explicitly before doing their own setup

I don't claim that the code in FGInterface::init() is optimal (or even
correct), but it seems to work for on-ground starts with both LaRCSim
and JSBSim on runways pointing various directions from near sea level
to about 700' ASL (the range I happened to test).  I expect that Jon
and Tony will want to look at the code and refactor and correct it now
that they can see what's going on in one place.

Here's a quick outline of what is invoked:

  cur_fdm_state = new <whatever>(dt);
  cur_fdm_state->init();
  cur_fdm_state->bind();

The constructor allocates memory and sets default values only (with
the help of the FGInterface::_setup() method).  The init() method pull
any required properties out of the property tree and sets up the
initial state of the FDM.  The bind() method takes ownership of
FDM-related properties so that the FDM can publish them to the rest of
the sim.

Note that bind() and init() are virtual, so any implementation in a
subclass will hide the implementation in FGInterface; that's why
subclass implementations of init() and bind() have to invoke
FGInterface::init() and FGInterface::bind() explicitly, probably at
the start, so that they get the basic initialization.
