This allows us to display a platform-native dialog for problems
which occur early in startup (before we can show a PUI/Canvas dialog).
In particular this improves feedback where FG_HOME, FG_DATA or
aircraft selection is wrong, all of which happen very early in startup.
Requesting 16-bit is probably doing more harm than good on modern
hardware. Command line switch to change works as before.
Also update the default window size, although this is actually
set by preferences.xml
- default to SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS (we can still AllocConsole if needed)
- add --console option to get a console on Windows
- ensure --show-aircraft and --help modes show the console automatically.
- restore-defaults kills the nav cache, terra-sync cache
- new ignore-autosave option bypasses autosave.xml and leaves it
untouched (does not over-write on exit)
Replace many lingering calls to exit() from the code,
replacing most with exception throws, which can be
caught by the existing mechanisms.
Update the option-parsing code to return an explicit
value indicating what to do (e.g., exit status to return
to the shell).
Many light aircraft include GPS loggers capable of recording the flight
path using IGC records. Lots of third party utilities are available to
analyze, process and convert igc files.
Usage: "fgfs --igc=file,out,1,OutputFile.igc"
- Enable the terrasync persistent cache
- Ensure terraysync scenery dirs exist before NavCache init, so the paths are stable
- Notify TerraSync on reposition, so we sync the full 3x3 set of tiles.
Move sqlite source to a separate location, and build with
an intermediate library target. This permits us to set compile options
easier, including an important one, NDEBUG, which improves performance.
Sqlite 3.8.0.2 also includes an updated query planner which may improve
some queries, to be tested.
If you want a scenario in a particular session of the sim, ask for
it on the command line / config files, or enable in the GUI.
Note if you had previously 'sticky' scenarios in your autosave.xml, you
will still get them until you clean your autosave, or disable them in
the GUI.
Respect the user's language selection in the system settings, and try those languages in turn. If a language is explicitly specified, try that first regardless.
