Enabling this hack by default, to assess the impact for everyone. Should fix the issue for Ati Catalyst 11.5 users, and hopefully no impact for everyone else. All feedback appreciated. Set /sim/ati-viewport-hack to false if you think this option might be causing issues for you (and then tell James, ASAP)
Make position finalisation happen in the same phase as scenery load, i.e as a task during the main loop, instead of during the init loop. This is compatible with the existing reset logic. Unfortunately more work is needed; the environment code doesn't update the local station quickly enough on reset. (Fixing that is next!)
Record the historical flight-path (by default, since last takeoff). Optionally display the flight-path in the map; other visualisations (e.g., an 'in-world' view) could also be created. Nasal API to follow so Canvas-map or FMS can show the same data.
Altitude and attitude (Euler angles) are currently recorded but not used anywhere.
Modify startup sequence, so position can be modified late in the startup process, right before the scenery load starts. This allows two ugly hacks to move to a permanent, less hacky location. If other position init modes required similar late evaluation in the future, this can be accommodated now.
This is a somewhat high-risk change - I've tested both carrier starts and runway-selection based on realwx METAR, but please look out for other position-init issues and test before / after this patch.
"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.
Allow XML property data to be submitted with a request; changes the request method from GET to POST. Supply nodes via the 'body' argument to the command.
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.
Make subsystems create-able and removable from commands. Only some subsystems are supported so far, since many have non-default constructors or other complexities.
With this, change, it's possible to dynamically add and remove the traffic-manager at runtime, for example: fgcommand("add-subsystem", props.Node.new({ "subsystem": "traffic-manager", "name":"traffic-manager", "do-bind-init":1}));
