Enhancements suggested by Nikolai Verner-Christensen - support loading
scenarios from {FG_HOME}/Scenarios, {aircraft-dir}/Scenarios and
{add-on}/Scenarios.
Additionally, allow passing the path to a scenario file to
—ai-scenario, eg —ai-scenario=/home/jmt/FGFS/my-test-scenario.xml
When a scenario defines a carrier, and —carrier is used to request a
carrier start, we now auto-load the corresponding scenario, to give
a nicer user experience.
This will use the inherently unsafe versions of the load methods which can result in deleting an object (from the cache) that has just been loaded in the database thread.
Symptom OSG WARN deleting still referenced object.

Format fgfs-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS[-#] where the # is for the rare case when there are multiple screenshots per second.
The change makes the filenames sortable based on date and slightly improves run time performance when there are a lot of screenshots in a particular directory
Also fix some compiler warnings, but the main thing is text now
defaults to white correctly if no color was set explicitly, and
local/parent clip-reference-frames are supported.
Adjust the special NavCache function used for airport search, to
allow filtering by type (which is exposed in an upcoming patch to the
dialog code).
Patch by Daniel Wickstrom
Properties /consumable/fuel/tank[*]/unusable-* supplied in the -set.xml file are propagated to the aircraft model and accounted for in the tanks management.
* <function> and <fcs_function> that are only applied on constant parameters are now recognized and replaced by their result during initialization.
* Fixed a regression which prevented the wheels rotation speed to slow down while the gears were retracted.
* Added the ability to control the turbine engines spin down factor (thanks to Jonathan Redpath for the pull request).
* Internals : JSBSim has been refactored to use FGPropertyValue in many FCS components. This will allow consistent behavior accross the FCS components including the ability to prepend property names with minus signs '-' to indicate that the opposite sign of the property should be used.
lag compensation, this is the time manager part.
- introduction of a pure steady clock initialised from system clock at init
- the mp protocol clock have an offset available (will be used
to sync the players, in case ntpd is not accurate or inavailable)
- got a way to see drift between system clock and the fg steady clock, mainly
to see how differents OS behave ...
