Increased diagnostics from SG_WARN to SG_ALERT, to mitigate confusion if METAR
is out of date etc.
Will add a better mechanism for reporting errors at some point.
Changing style will reload style from filesystem, so one can edit styles and
see results without restarting fg.
Note that this duplicates initial populating of /gui/styles/ from
defaults.xml's <sim><gui>...</gui></sim> section, so it's a bit of a hack.
If user specified --load-tape then failure to load it should be fatal to avoid
confusion. It also avoids needlessly overwriting a valid recovery tape if
/sim/replay/recovery-period is set.
Throwing an exception was too harsh. Instead the clipping is ignored and a warning message issued.
Reintroducing the commit 90a04a that has been inadvertently removed.
These were due to the ground callback instance of FlightGear not setting the ellipse parameters of the 'contact' location. this commit make JSBSim immune to that scenario.
Includes the following new features and bug fixes:
- The <random> function now uses C++ std::default_random_engine
- WGS84 is now used everywhere in JSBSim (previously a mix of spherical/WGS84 earcth was used resulting in inaccuracies).
- A new <planet> XML element can be used to tweak the planet characteristics (such as semimajor/smemiminor axes, gravity, etc.)
- The FGGroundCallback instance is now managed by FGInertial with a dynamic pointer std::unique_ptr<>. JSBSim was previously using a static pointer which was causing memory access failures when several instances of JSBSim were used or when an instance was replaced by a new one (the structure pointed to by the static pointer was then lost when the old instance was destroyed).
- Removed calls to exit() and replaced them by exceptions that can be caught by FlightGear (should avoid FlightGear from being ungracefully stopped by an error found by JSBSim).
- Sockets interface: replaced the usage of obsolete functions gethostbyname()/gethostbyaddr() by getaddrinfo().
- FGColumnVector3 and FGMatrix33 can now be initialized by C++ std::initializer_list
- Disable the delays implemented in some flight control components during trimming (was sometimes preventing the trim algorithm from converging to a solution).
- Fixed the magnetometer initialization (was not updated during the first 1000 time steps)
- More conversions to C++11 features (nullptr, override, std::unique_ptr<>, etc.).
Since our data encoding is incompatible between 2018 and 2020, use
different settings keys so running both versions in parallel is easier.
Without this, each version screws up the data for the other.
When local aircraft scanning is slow, we can end up clearing
the locale while a scan is in progress, which crashes. Ensure we
abandon any in-progress scan when closing the launcher.

Add pop-up notification when we migrate to a new version of a hangar.
Convert the ‘new version available’ message to use a pop-up
notification as well.
Avoid filling up the logs when the launcher parses broken aircraft XML;
wait until the user actually pick one to fly with, before reporting
XML errors.
This is to avoid console/log spam from jetways.nas in particular,
which uses loadxml to probe for file existence, every 10 seconds. But
in general it seems useful to have this potentially be quiet, since
there is a result code.
AirportDyanmics::innerGetActiveRunway can unfortunately return an
empty string even when it return ‘true’. Check for this in the wrapper,
and switch to the fallback, to avoid returning a bogus runway to
other parts of the code.

This causes QApplication to become unhappy and crash, so use a
graceful exit via a new return code and FG_OPTIONS_EXIT instead.

Fix the include context when -set.xml are parsed by the launcher to
extract states and other data. Ensure aircraft paths are available
and handled consistently with normal -set.xml parsing. Without this,
many -set.xmls fail to parse.
