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.
This patch removes the conditional compilation of ATCDCL, compiling both
the old and new ATC systems. The old system only provides ATIS, AWOS and
some dialog lookups, and hence should not conflict with the new system.
* New features
- More realistic descent paths
- Separation during descent and approach
- ATC approach controller (still silent)
- inbound traffic flow will start immediately
* Bug fixes
- Properly handle vertical speed when on ground
- Departing aircraft now wait for taxiclerance before moving
- Traffic manager waits for proper weather initialization
- Fixed instabilities in the preferential runway usage code
- Fine tuning of waypoint following code.
* AI aircraft distance to user proximity detection works again (lat/lon were inverted).
* The parking uses by the user aircraft is marked as such to prevent it being reused by an AI aicraft
* AI aircraft won't receive permission for pushback until the user aircraft is at a fair distance.
The current code still has some rough edges, in particular memory still
needs to be deallocated where possible, and the actual use of the code
needs more testing. This code has been running without noticable problems,
so I think it's ready for some wider exposure. Detailed changes include:
- Finetuning of the SID/STAR data concept.
- Preloading of all SIDs, from one xml file.
- ATC determines which SID should be used and echoes this over the com1 or
com2 radio.
* Changed the runway XX. ATC message to actually report the real
designated departure runway
* In case of multiple active runways, select the one with a heading that is
closest to the direction of the ultimate departure destination / lines up
with the arrival path.
some prepratory work for assigning different operations to different
frequencies. It also returns a stub for returning an ATIS message ID.
Currently, the ATIC information ID is hardcoded to "Sierra", which needs
to be replaced by a dynamic ID once ATIS services are fully integrated
with the new trafficcontrol code. At least, it's marginally more realistic
then the previous information XX. :-).
- Runways are now part of an airport, instead of a separate list
- Runways are no longer represented as a boring struct, but as a class
of their own.
-Improved runway access to unify various runway access methods.
- this exposed a bizarre issue on Mac where dragging in <AGL/agl.h> in
extensions.hxx was pulling in all of Carbon to the global namespace
- very scary. As a result, I now need to explicitly include CoreFoundation
in fg_init.cxx.
- change SG_USING_STD(x) to using std::x
SimGear change. It changes all the SG_xxxx to be the 'real' includes, and gets
rid of many #ifdef SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES. As an added bonus, rather than
replacing 'SG_USING_NAMESPACE(std)' with 'using namespace std', I just fixed
the small number of places to use std:: explicitly. So we're no longer polluting
the global namespace with the entire contents of std, in many cases.
There is one more 'mechanical' change to come - getting rid of SG_USING_STD(X),
but I want to keep that separate from everything else. (There's another
mechnical change, replacing <math.h> with <cmath> and so on *everywhere*, but
one step at a time)
Various other patches that have been lingering around for a while:
* Moved trafficcontrol.[ch]xx from the Airports directory to ATC, where
it really belongs.
* AI aircraft will request startup clearance, and ground control will
approve.
* Starting AI Aircraft will be pushed back to a predefined holding point
on the ground network, and wait a while before taxiing out to the runway
From Till:
i started the project at the end of february with a simple idea: move all
3d-model loading to the DatabasePager-thread. my first attempts looked
promising, though they were a little too optimistic (or naive?). the patch
has evolved a lot since.
currently it does the following things:
1. revive SGModelLib, move functions for xml-model-loading there
2. replace all calls to sgLoad3dModel with calls to either
SGModelLib::loadModel() or SGModelLib::loadPagedModel()
almost all models will be loaded by the DatabasePager. the few exceptions are:
your own plane, shared models in scenery, random objects, AIBallistic models.
3. simplify mode-loading functions (avoid passing around fg_root)
4. avoid supurious MatrixTransform nodes in loaded models
5. fix some memory leaks
This patch contains bugfixes from my previous patch
(i made mistakes when using "diff" utility last time):
1. Now ATC do not tells us to go around because of
traffic on RWy, when that traffic is WE.
2. Now ATC don't say that we must follow ourself
(like "GFS, number two, follow GFS on final").
And new Tower-ATC features:
1. Requesting departure clearance. When you are
on taxiway, you can request departure clearance.
Tower will answer with something like:
"Line up runway two eight right".
TODO: check if any AI-Planes on final and tell
something like: "After the landing AI-CALLSIGN
line up runway two eight right".
2. Requesting take-off clearance. If you are on
runway, you can tell to ATC that you are ready
for take-off. So, Tower will tell you that you
are cleared for take-off (or immediate take-off).
3. Reporting landing gear position on final by pilot.
If you are on aircraft, which landing gear can
be UP, when reporting final you will tell
"Gear down, ready to land".
4. Reporting landing gear position on final by ATC.
When i was newbie and was flying on Cessna 310, i
ALWAYS forgot landing gears on final. Now if you are on
final and forgot landing gear, Tower will tell you:
"LANDING GEAR APPEARS UP" or "Check wheels down and
locked". So you will have some time to push gear
down or execute missed approach ;)
5. ATIS phonetic ID in requesting landing message.
In FG pilots says: "for full stop with ATIS" everytime
(when airport doesn't have ATIS too). But in real life
pilot saying phonetic ID of ATIS message. Now we have:
"for full stop, information alpha ... / ... zulu".
If airport doesn't have ATIS, pilot don't say this.
TODO: add this feature to AI-Planes too.
6. Advising weather condition in airport by Tower.
If you are requesting take-off or landing in airport
that doesn't have ATIS service, Tower will tell you
about wind direction and speed, visibility and QFE.
7. Reporting downwind if missed approach. When some AI-Plane
is on final FG's ATC tell you to "continue approach".
And then you lost radio transmission. Now ATC says:
"continue approach and report left/right downwind".
And now we have "Report Downwind" entry (button)
in "ATC Communication" form.
version
* Delete ai list objects in ~ATC/AIMgr.cxx:AIMgr::~AIMgr()
* Delete colors in GUI/new_gui.cxx: NewGui::~NewGui.cxx
* Delete memory allocated to the class member "route" in
Instrumentation/gps.cxx
* Delete all globals (except a few "unsafe" ones that still cause segfaults
and need further examination.
* Use an SGShared pointer for navaid memory allocation, so that pointers to
individual navaid objects can be included safely in multiple navaid lists
