The feature fail_hardover of the <actuator> component was not giving the correct output in some occurences when clipmax was smaller in absolute value than clipmin.
Tables CORNERING_COEFF could not be used for BOGEY contact points.
No longer throw an exception when the `internal` keyword of a table is ignored.
The location where errors have been found are now reported.
Rework the LOD ranges.
1. The scenery ranges are now deltas (avoids overlapping values)
2. The AI/MP pixel mode now has a default radius that is 20 for Aircraft, 200 for ships, 350 for carriers. This is a simple constant in a virtual function.
3. Added the ability to set the AI/MP ranges equal which means use the low detail model.
4. Changed high detail only to be indicated by a -ve number in maxRangeDetail
5. Re-ordered the range list to go from lowest detail at [0] to highest detail at the end. This is because OSG always loads the models starting from zero on the assumption that the detail increases with the index.
This fixes the pixel mode, which previously would use the radius of the parent which would be confusingly large, and unrelated to the actual size of the model. With the simple defaults that we have the pixel values set in the ranges won't exactly match the rendered size of the model on screen, but it will be a lot closer and more importantly meaningful.
The following new features have been added to JSBSim:
* Added the ability to set up the starter and acceleration times of a turbine (parameters <n1spinup>, <n2spinup>, <n1startrate>, <n2startrate>).
* The <integrator> filter can now be reset to 0.0 by setting its <trigger> property to a negative value.
* The integration scheme of the <integrator> filter can now be chosen among "rect" (Euler), "trap" (Trapezoidal), "ab2" 2nd order Adams-BashForth and "ab3" 3rd order Adams-Bashforth
* The following functions can now be used in <function>: floor, ceil and fmod. Their functionalities are the same than the corresponding C/C++ functions.
The following bugs are fixed by this commit:
* PID integration with the 3rd order Adams-Bashforth was inccorect.
* The fail_stuck property of sensors (accelerometers, magnetometers, gyro, etc.) without a <lag> element was setting the output to zero instead of sticking to the last output value. Thanks to Jonathan Redpath (aka legoboyvdlp) for the bug report.
* When a sensor was stuck, the drift, gain, bias and quantization of the last output before being stuck were ignored. Thanks to Dennis J. Linse for the bug report.
Due to how the popup menu was refresh, using MP servers at index 0 or 1
didn’t work correctly. Change some logic and add a helper to make this
work reliably, without a second Repeater and dummy properties.
Expand the range of filtering options on axis values to include the
optional use of an interpolation table, which gives many more options
when dealing with some devices.
When the lat-lon of a waypoint disagrees with the discovered ident by
more than a threshold, assume we have a DB mismatch, and just revert
to a basic wpt specified by lat-lon. This avoids inserting huge
legs by selecting a very distant navaid with matching ident

* Disables dew point transmission as the humidity model is not handling the case where the vapor saturation pressure gets higher than the ambient pressure.
* Removed computations for temperatures at very high altitudes as they don't match with the rest of JSBSim atmosphere model.
Use an internal window (instead of a real OS window) for popup choices,
and cap the maximum size. Use a scrollbar when the number of items is
too large, and adjust the position to fit in the window.
If the thumbnail is less than 172px wide, centre in the available
space. This ensures consistent alignment of the main content (name
and aircraft description)
- Fixed the Calibrated Air Speed (CAS) computations for supersonic velocities
- Fixed the Nlf (Normal load factor) sign
- Nlf can now be specified as an initial condition via the property ic/targetNlf
- Added blocking sockets to the input features
- Added a property to piston engines to get the AFR (Air to Fuel Ratio)
- Added conversion from m/s to ft/s
- Restored the initial conditions for engines running (-1 means all engines)
These are the time statistics that are the simulation code, which is basically everything except the rendering.
For a while I've wondered how efficient each of my JSBSim models are, and how much of our valuable frame time is spent on simulation modules.
Ideally the simulation modules should be taking 2-3ms, anything longer indicates a need to consider optimising things more.
These are the new properties that are added by this change:
/sim/rendering/sim-frame-count Number of frames since start (or last time
/sim/rendering/sim-frame-count-reset Reset statistics. Can be useful to reset monitoring after a slow startup
/sim/rendering/sim-host-avg-ms Average amount of time spent in the "simulation" rather than rendering. This attempts to take into consideration the
frame rate throttling but when throttled this figure is less reliable.
/sim/rendering/sim-host-total-ms Total milliseconds since reset
/sim/time/frame-wait-ms Current frame wait to meet throttling rate.
When an explicit aircraft-dir is set, check this location before
checking installed packages. This allows setting —aircraft and
-aircraft-dir to correctly take precedence over a package.
Add better airway support, fix various issues with VIA, and add
parsing / generation of ICAO route strings. Also fix the
serialisation of flight-plans with airway enroute segments, so these
can be restored correctly.
Upcoming flight-planning changes want to use the perf computation code
in route-path, so move it to a public class, and implement some of the
missing functionality, especially correct GS computation for altitude.
Since the subsystem manager tracks group state, it now binds/inits
automatically. This means groups which create subsystems during init
no longer need to manually bind() them.
- I think I've fixed a long standing problem with clicks traveling through windows and bringing the dialog window underneath to the foreground.
- Added /sim/gui/dialogs/current-dialog that contains the name of the currently active (in front) dialog window.
- Changed dialog-open to bring a dialog to the front if it is already open.
Aircraft can now set a /sim/model/fallback-model-index property that is transmitted over the MP network.
Receiving clients use this as an index into AI/Aircraft/fallback_models.xml to determine a model to use if the model path (/sim/model/path) cannot be found under Aircraft or AI/Aircraft. This allows aircraft developers to identify a suitable fallback model to be used for those who do not have their aircraft installed.
As this code has significant bit-rot and requires a lot of work to compile and
run again, it is currently deactivated.
The test also writes to the files "/Users/jmt/Desktop/airways.kml" and
"/Users/jmt/Desktop/procedures.kml" and would need to be modified to write to a
temporary directory and the file contents reread and checked by the test.
The extractBits(), signExtend(), and writeBits() functions of the anonymous
namespace in Input/FGHIDEventInput.cxx have been shifted out of the namespace
and are now exposed via the header. This is needed as
<Input/FGHIDEventInput.cxx> cannot be imported within the CppUnit
infrastructure, as it is already built into the run_test_suite binary.
These include Scenery/{maptest.cxx, test.cxx} and Time/{test_event.c, ttest.c,
win32test.c}. These files, essentially untouched since added in 1999, are not
useful for conversion for the test suite.
The HistoryPopup was caching its contents rather early, and we failed
to tell the model when its underlying data updated. Connect that
through so the history model refreshes also.

- Trim reports, FGOutputFG and sockets messages now respond to the debug level
- Channels : fix for incorrect time steps caused by execrate
- Improved configuration error detection in FGSwitch with respect to late bound
- Fixed the ordre in which the components of the p-factor moment are reported in CSV output files.
- Now all the sea level properties from the standard atmosphere are updated along with the other atmosphere properties.
- The properties propulsion/start_cmd and propulsion/cutoff_cmd are now read/write (they were read only before).
Mickael Danilov reported that one cannot send brake commands to /fdm/jsbsim/fcs/{right,left}-brake-cmd-norm since FG overwrites them with /autopilot/autobrake/* properties.
A new property /fdm/jsbsim/systems/override-fg-brake-properties has been added which is set ot false by default to keep the legacy behavior. When set to true, the properties /fdm/jsbsim/fcs/{right,left}-brake-cmd-norm can be modified by the user and will ignore the setting from FlightGear.
Use The Qt 5.6 Shortcut item, but via a conditional file so
we don’t touch the base Qt requirement. (This means no shortcuts
when using Qt 5.4 or 5.5, oh well)
- Air density now takes humidity into account.
- The protocol of input sockets is no longer case sensitive
- Late bounded properties are now cached for better performance.
Allow setting of various secondary location args without
knocking out the main ones. The user arg values still override, but
this allows selecting a runway (for example) and manually setting
altitude / heading / offset if desired.
Categorise arguments to ensure user-specified ones take precedence
over values set by the launcher.
When any positional arg is set, exclude all positional ones from being
set at all, to prevent strange interactions.
This simplifies the launcher's rendering since the widget-based
code is gone, various things get hooked up as a result. Styling
fixes everywhere as well.
Menubar on Linux/Windows needs to be re-added.
* Removed the IAS dependency to the Pitot tube angle (real Pitot tube are less sensitive to AoA than was simulated)
* Removed the class FGUDPOutputSocket which was redundant with FGOutputSocket
* Added a new type of functions "template" which are intended to prevent duplication of functions. For now, they are available to compute output values and script notifications.
* Aerodynamics forces can now be specified in stability axes.
* Density altitude and pressure altitude are computed according to ISA standard atmosphere 1976.
New properties:
* Flight path angle (gamma) in degrees
- fdm/jsbsim/flight-path/gamma-deg
* Aerodynamics forces in stability axes
- fdm/jsbsim/forces/fsx-aero-lbs
- fdm/jsbsim/forces/fsy-aero-lbs
- fdm/jsbsim/forces/fsz-aero-lbs
* Aerodynamics moments in stability axes
- moments/roll-stab-aero-lbsft
- moments/pitch-stab-aero-lbsft
- moments/yaw-stab-aero-lbsft
* Pause JSBSim
- fdm/jsbsim/simulation/pause
* Fixed multiple bugs.
Display a warning when the user tries to set arguments in additional
settings which the launcher will also set / conflict with. Blacklist
is still evolving, and we don’t actually prevent the user from running,
since maybe they are doing something special
At a basic level, the implementation supports two levels of LoD:
FAR from /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-bare to /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-detailed.
NEAR from /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-detailed to 0.
(First of many digressions: If /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-mode-pixel=true then instead of measuring LOD distance in meters, the size of the object in pixels is used, so the ranges are different)
The models that are loaded for FAR and NEAR depend on a combination of the availability of a model in /AI/AIrcraft/ and FG_AIRCRAFT directories.
If /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-detailed=false then an AI aircraft will be used in preference for both NEAR and FAR.
If /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-detailed=true then an AI aircraft will be used for FAR, and an FG_AIRCRAFT for NEAR.
Obviously if only an AI or a FG_AIRCRAFT model are available, that will be used for the entire NEAR+FAR range.
Change delay to 15 seconds; and alert that there is a delay.
The 15 second delay should be sufficient to allow the compressor to finish processing; and in anycase this is running in a thread and therefore shouldn't freeze the whole sim for the delay period.
/sim/multiplay/use-detailed-models can be used to set whether
we will prefer models from Aircraft/ (true) or from AI/ (false).
Default (set in defaults.xml in fgdata) is true.
Fixes a perf issue when opening and closing dialogs which uses
bindings, reported by Michael Danilov - huge thanks for his help
in tracking this down.
This bug was caused by the SGBinding ‘don’t delete properties’ change,
since the PUI code was copying nodes to work-around that problem. With
SGBinding fixed, the copying caused huge numbers of nodes under
/sim/bindings/gui
When releasing the RMB over a PUI dialog, we no longer get stuck in
drag mode due to the buttons map getting out of state. This is slightly
ugly work-around, better fix to follow hopefully (needs better OSG
integration)
Make the policy of using models in FGData/AI more flexible, with the
option to prefer normal data sources. Keep the existing behaviour for
everything except multiplayer aircraft, where we now prefer the data
model (presumably, an installed aircraft) over the AI one.
bool[42] and bool[72] used to have two bits (i.e. transmitted twice). This was not harmful just wasteful.
Mapped the first of the duplicated bits of each of these to new bools at the end of the list. These two properties will not be compatible with pre 2018.2.
If all bools in a block are 0 the block would never be transmitted, i.e. fix a bug whereby each block of 0..30 used to need at least one true value to transmit the block.
This should help with a white-screen in the launcher Gijs reported,
due to our Optimus selection symbol interacting weirdly with the
dynamic OpenGL detection in Qt
The typo was introduced in 7e607b8403 from July
2016. The result was a series of alert messages such as:
savexml: writing to 'Path "/flightgear/home/.fgfs/runtime-jetways/0.xml"' denied
(unauthorized directory - authorization no longer follows symlinks)
This allows the sources and headers in src/Main/ to be used by other targets.
They are grouped into the new "Main" flightgear component via the macro in the
FlightGearComponent CMake module. The bootstrap.cxx file with its main function
has been separated out into a separate variable MAIN_SOURCE for use by the fgfs
binary.
All these files have therefore been removed from the test_suite CMakeLists.txt
file, as they are added via FG_SOURCES and FG_HEADERS. The MSVC grouping code
also does not need to deal with the now deleted separate SOURCE and HEADER
variables for these files.
This is for simplifying the main src/Main/CMakeLists.txt file and allowing the
code to be shared with the test suite.
The generated source and header files have also been removed from the main
source list and placed in the CMake module as the global variables
EMBEDDED_RESOURCE_SOURCES and EMBEDDED_RESOURCE_HEADERS.
This required many time related include files, functions, and variables to be
tested for via CMake, and converted to macros via #cmakedefine, so that they
would be automatically set for the test-mktime.cxx file.
Since the new _storagePath data member internally contains the add-on
id, changing _id after _storagePath has been initialized would make both
data members inconsistent. As changing the add-on id is probably not a
very useful operation, the simplest way to prevent such an inconsistency
from happening is to make Addon's _id data member const (as is already
the case for _storagePath), and thus remove Addon::setId().
Consequently, remove the Addon default constructor too, since add-ons
with an empty id would be ill-formed and couldn't be changed (_id being
const now). This leaves us with one Addon constructor:
Addon(std::string id, AddonVersion version = AddonVersion(),
SGPath basePath = SGPath(), std::string minFGVersionRequired = "",
std::string maxFGVersionRequired = "",
SGPropertyNode* addonNode = nullptr);
New methods Addon::createStorageDir() and Addon::getStoragePath() with
corresponding Nasal bindings in the addons.Addon ghost:
createStorageDir() method (returns the dir, doesn't fail if it already
exists)
storagePath read-only attribute to get the dir
The directory reserved for each add-on is
$FG_HOME/Export/Addons/ADDON_ID, but please use the above methods (or
the corresponding C++ ones) to avoid hardcoding such paths in your code.
Also create directory $FG_HOME/Export/Addons in fgInitConfig() as a way
of reserving the namespace, in order to prevent future failures in case
someone would have the strange idea to create it as a file...
It is the call to exit that causes FG to lock up and become a zombie.
Alternative is to throw an exception, i.e.:
throw sg_error(std::string("YASim SOLUTION FAILURE:") + a->getFailureMsg(););
This adds the fix for non converging aircraft. Henning has performed a thorough analysis of all of FGAddon and other repositories and there are a few models that fail, however there have always been a few that fail - but with this patch this situation is improving.
