47f46d151d Add the ability to scroll single ATC messages - this is toggled using property /ATC/display/scroll-single-messages (off by default). Also increased the time that single messages are displayed in non-scrolling mode - this makes ATC transmissions easier to read. 2003-03-17 11:32:51 +00:00

5a849b66e8 Major overhaul:
- changed FGSubsystem::update(int) to
  FGSubsystem::update(delta_time_sec); the argument is now delta time
  in seconds rather than milliseconds

- added FGSubsystem::suspend(), FGSubsystem::suspend(bool),
  FGSubsystem::resume(), and FGSubsystem::is_suspended(), all with
  default implementations; is_suspended takes account of the master
  freeze as well as the subsystem's individual suspended state

- the FDMs now use the delta time argument the same as the rest of
  FlightGear; formerly, main.cxx made a special case and passed a
  multiloop argument

- FDMs now calculate multiloop internally instead of relying on
  main.cxx

There are probably some problems -- I've done basic testing with the
major FDMs and subsystems, but we'll probably need a few weeks to
sniff out bugs.

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.

348ac42c90 Attached is a reasonably large patch to add a proper ATC
subsystem to Flightgear.  No more functionality is implemented
than at present (apart from an ATIS bug-fix - station wouldn't
change if the radio was switched directly from one station to
another) but it is much neater than the current hack and should be
easily extendable.

Some cruft is still probably left over in radiostack.[ch]xx such as
the bindings to the comm frequencies but I'll leave removing those
until I'm sure they're not needed there.

Heres an update to the ATIS stuff.  In brief:

The possible buffer overflow in the display with wind should
hopefully be fixed.

Temperature is taken from the global temperature property instead
of being hardwired.

The display class now includes an implementation of the member
function to change the repeating message.

The message callsign is no longer hardwired.  The first message
from each station is generated with a random callsign.
Subsequent messages from the same station have the callsign
incremented every hour.  A map of airport-id vs. last callsign and
transmission time is kept for each station that has transmitted for
the duration of the FlightGear session.  The logic might be flaky if
FlightGear is run for more than 24 hours at a stretch between
visiting the same ATIS station though!  (ie I don't check the day.)
This map is kept in the atislist class.  This might not be the best
long-term place for it (in an ATC class of some sort might be
better), but it works for now.
