Add missing ATIS elements (transition level, expected approach,
precipitation, runway surface warnings).
Minor phraseology fixes for US/Europe.
Adds "/sim/atis/concise-report" option to use abbreviations (CAVOK etc),
and omit "obvious" units (depends on airport).
Trigger ATIS updates for significant pressure changes.
so we can split ATIS voice files into separate files, i.e. for airport
names and phraseology, so we don't need to regenerate airport names when
extending/changing phraseology. Also allows to add custom airport names.
Enable switching voice files at run-time (different airports could have
different voices...).
An upcoming commit will make the sound headers standalone, and no longer include various other headers / using std:: declarations. Prepare for this by making includes and usage of namespaces explicit.
Using a tied property works only for one single usage of the
property. In reality FGATIS is normally instantiated four
times (nav/comm/1/2) where only the first instantiation
works correctly. All subsequent instantions fail to tie
and show some error messages.
Also tied properties shouldn't be used anymore.
Unit is spoken for all values <1000hPa (to avoid confusion with inHg).
Unit is not spoken for values >=1000hPa (but don't drop highest digit).
(And we should replace "millibars" with "hectopascal" - we're missing the
necessary voice sample though.)
This might need to be back-ported to 2.8 (to make a 2.8.1), unless it's been exposed by some of my other changes. Which I think is unlikely but not impossible.
Adds serviceable/operable properties to comm radio.
Obey comm radio power source (no power => no radio => no ATIS).
Also further clean-up to stuff belonging to former ATCmgr module.
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.
The old ATC_mgr is no longer available/initialized, which caused ATIS/ATC
modules to crash when selecting ATIS frequencies. This adds a guard to
avoid the crash, but doesn't revive the ATIS feature.
Revert to using inches globally by default, unless the user sets the
property /sim/atc/use-millibars. Whilst this is therefore wrong by
default, it is probably the best thing in the short term since
FlightGear's altimeter dialog and the altimeters on the default
aircraft set using inches.
Primarily an improvment to the internationalisation. Previously the ATIS considered
the world as either the UK or the rest of the world. Now it considers it as US+Canada
or the rest of the world. This is much more consistent with global usage of pressure
units as either inches or millibars, which is the most important difference. Also
some other tweaks and cleanups.
The apt.dat file contains inconsistent case for many airport name abbreviations,
e.g. MUNI/Muni and intl/Intl. Evaluate the abbreviations in lower-case when
expanding them in order to avoid missing any.
Some fixes, and refactoring of the lexicon and abbreviation remapping
into headers where it can be picked up by the scripts that generate
the voice files.
Rename ATC/atis.[ch]xx to ATC/atis_mgr.[ch]xx, to avoid confusingly
having 2 atis.cxx and 2 atis.hxx in the source tree. Also fix a copy
and paste error in src/ATCDCL/CMakeLists.txt.
