This reverts commit 91ae41f9ef.
We do not need this as outputs already are written to the property
tree and most intermediate values can easily be calculated
manually.
For 2.12, ensure all GPS instruments are backwards
compatible, however they were requested. Post release we can create a new instrument name with the compatibility code disabled.
canvas::Window now optionally creates a second canvas for showing
window decoration. After setting its dimensions with the property
"decoration-border" a Nasal based window decorator should add the
required elements to the decoration canvas.
Using the properties "shadow-radius" and "shadow-inset" a drop
shadow can be added to the window.
Nick Vatamaniuc: fix AI aircraft not updating waypoint headings when using custom flightplans.
(Commented out log-line following a non-parenthesised if() test causing problems)
There's a sufficiently large installed base, that simply dropping this
API is not acceptable. A Nasal shim might be possible, but in the
interim, restore the C++ functionality.
Route-manager was explicitly deleting its FP, which was incorrect.
Switch to correct use of SGSharedPtr to refer to flight plans.
Thanks to Roland Haeder for catching this.
Generic transponder can emulate KT-70 props. These emulated props
will likely die in the future, based on feedback from aircraft devs.
See (upcoming) Wiki docs on the transponder for more info.
- Add option 'capture-events' to canvas aircraft and scenery
placements to allow events being forwarded to the respective
canvas.
- Clean up and restructure parts of the mouse event/picking
handling to support forwarding events to canvasses.
All methods exposed to the Nasal props module now accept an
optional first parameter refering to another node by a relative
path.
(Thanks to Philosopher for the initial patch)
Avoid horrible startup times for Windows users. It would be good
if someone with a Windows box, debug environment and some time could
investigate further.
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.
This allows Nasal code attached to scenery models access their
world position and orientation by calling _model.getPose().
Also ensure models are attached to the scenegraph before Nasal
load scripts are called. This ensures that the world position
and orientation are available upon executing the load script.
Allow for advanced animations using easing functions and adapters
for interpolating specific property types (eg. CSS colors).
Old behavior should not have changed.
Ensure canvas displayed inside GUI windows are updated in the same
frame as the according window is made visible. This prevents
showing previous contents for the first frame.
This gives nice cursors when hovering and dragging slider and knob-animations, and the cursor is set correctly on mouse-up after the drag too. Makes directional knobs/sliders much easier to understand.
Ensure all FGPositioned related functions return SGSharedPtr
instead of raw pointers to allow automatic conversion to
nasal ghosts without custom helper functions.
Some cockpits rely on mouse position props being updated even when using a dragged pick-callback. Thanks to Clement for noticing. Re-structured so however we process the mouse (PUI, pick-callback, normal motion), we always update the props.
This adds the framework for platform cursor implementations; Windows and X11 to be done.
It also extend the mouse-input code to generate hover events suitable for driving tooltips.
Note there should be no visible functionality change from this commit, since everything
is inactive until fgdata changes are made.
For now it is available in the positioned Nasal
module. FGAirport is fully ported, but especially
procedures/navaids and free functions are still
missing.
In preparation for adding POI data, extend the FGPositioned type enum, and the cache code to handle arbitrary POI types. (Adding more in the future is straightforward now)
Also support removing user waypoints, which was requested by the Garmin G196 developers.
This was a bogus concept, either runways have a reciprocal or not (if singled-ended), really this was simply exposing an artefact of the apt.dat encoding. Change to an API which gives what is actually wanted - the ability to extract an airport's runways without any reciprocals included.
This eliminates many conversations between ft and m and gives us runway start/end
points that are needed for many calculations. Also, this prepares the internals for
the upcoming apt.dat 850+ format that uses the metric system as well as start/end points.
When calling setILS, in-memory runways did not get updated. This showed up in the map, but also affecting a few other places. Will port this to 2.10.1 when that process starts.
When using the default (generic) config, which references many props which may not exist in a particular aircraft, suppress the 'recording non-existent' property warning.
Add a puaListBox which can show the contents of a log-buffer. Currently only two buffer sources are supported more to follow (and the dialog XML updates).
- Don't capture mouse events if mouse mode has
pass-through disabled. This behaviour is
consistent with the PUI dialogs and allows
changing moving view and controls while above
any GUI dialog.
- Add option to canvas windows to ignore all
events and let them pass through
("capture-events").
Instead of deleting all table contents, actually remove the entire file on disk and re-create. This is fractionally more work, but removes any possibility of stale indices or missing deletes causing clutter after rebuilds. My suspicion is, this is cause the erratic performance some people have seen with the airports search dialog, so will back-port to 2.10.
Comments in the code imply osgViewer always sends 'num-lock'-off codes, but that is not the observed behaviour with Cocoa. So adding mappings for the num-locked codes on Mac, which is what people actually want at the moment.
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)
added measured-total-pressure property to account for a normal
shockwave in front of pitot tube at supersonic speeds. momentarily not
used

AndersG noticed an issue when a ground-net file is edited. The DROP commands prior to the reload were wrong, fixed now to delete all ground-net entries before the file is read.
KATL -> KLAX looks correct now. Great-circles that span the 180-meridian are still rendered wrong, but that's a map projection issues, which I will fix in the next few days.
This allows delegates to take action when the flightlan is cleared, and especially, for the default delegate in the route-manager to deactivate itself, and hence the GPS LEG mode - which fixes bug 940 I hope.
When leg spans more than a threshold (currently 0.5 degrees) of longitude, interpolate the actual path flown by the GPS/RM, which is a true great-circle. Previous we rendered a Rhumb line which does not agree at all. (Especially noticeable in the MapWidget and NavDisplay code, both of which use RoutePath to tesselate the route before rendering)
At large search ranges (320 or 640NM range on the 777), the search time can blow up, especially if distant airports are being loaded. Add a time-bounded spatial query, and use it, so performance stays tolerable.
When the from and to points are not on the enroute structure, check the initial and final legs for large turns (more than 90-degrees) from the overall route course. If found, kill the leg, to generate more natural route and avoid very sharp turns in the terminal area.
Note these are still generic and do NOT take local terrain into account. Don't come crying to me if you fly into nearby terrain because you weren't using a real procedure!
One of the two route termination conditions was improperly handled, leading to bad leg/wpt indices and exceptions from the GPS code. Detect passing the final waypoint in a more robust way now.
Also fix the GPS code to avoid turn computation on the final leg.
Clean-up how axes and button bindings are destroyed are re-built on reinit of the FGJoystickInput subsystem, so we get new, cleanly initialised items each time.
Allow the location of the ND centre to be set from properties instead of always using the acct position.
(I thought I'd supported this option long ago, evidently not)
Use a RAII object to manage cache transactions, and reset queries immediately after they are done, to avoid auto-commit transactions lasting long periods of time. Re-write the commit and step logic to handle SQLITE_BUSY, with progressively increasing waits when there is DB contention (multiple processes accessing the DB).
As an opt-in API, allow clients to request partial results, with a time-bounded cutoff. Use this to keep the MapWidget responsive even when many airports are being added to the cache (e.g., zooming out or panning rapidly when zoomed out)
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!)
- Setting 'resize' property to true on canvas::Window shows
resize icons and exposes requested size to the property
tree. This can be used eg. from Nasal to actually resize
the window and/or show a preview of the resized window
while resizing.
- Event handling now ignores events which have already
been handled. Before eg. clicking inside a window
also caused picking to be performed inside the
scene which is for sure not the expected behaviour.
- Also forwards scroll wheel events from canvas::Window.
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.
If the size of a Canvas changes also the texture id
changes. We now retrieve the texture id for the CanvasWidget
every frame to ensure it uses the latest texture instance.
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.
Disable elevation mixup for naiads, since it is introducing inconsistencies between the navdata and the scenery. (Actually it's exposing inconsistencies between the airport and navaid data, but that can't be fixed right now)
This bug was caused by the code not tolerating missing navaids / waypoints. Update logic so missing navaids degenerate to basic waypoints without problem. Also tolerate present, but empty, runway properties - don't throw an exception by looking up empty identifiers.
Iterator must be reset after clearing waypoint list.
Deleting "*waypoint.end()" doesn't delete the last waypoint (end()-1
does - it is never actually used though).
When the scenery paths change, we need to rebuild the nab-cache, since Airports/ data may have changed - e.g. someone installing custom scenery with updated ILS / thresholds.
When multiple processes (right now, multiple copies of fgfs, but potentially other users in the future) access the navcache, it can cause SQLite to return a 'locked' error, so the request should be re-tried. Add code to do this.
rather than window size, since the size of full screen windows can change:
e.g. Xinerama mode automatically resizes fullscreen windows to cover the
area belonging to a single display only - so the
"(Xinerama) screen area == window size" check always failed - even in
fullscreen mode.
PositionedID is of "int64_t", which depends on platform: apparently it is
"long long int" for Mac (requiring %lld format), but it is "long int" for
64bit Linux (requiring %ld). To avoid a "compiler warning fix commit
war" ;-) use a type cast to the longest common type (long long int).
Inspired by Harald's patch, attempt to get AI models show realistic gear animations. Unfortunately AI models seem to be ignoring the gear properties, so keeping the code disabled until I can trace down why.
FGAISchedule::update can be time consuming. Preempt when necessary to
avoid simulation lags, and call it every sim iteration, until the flight
plan is complete.
ThorstenB identified some cases where mod-times changing could lead to corrupted ground-cache data in the DB - handle both of these. What's still unclear is why the mod-times changes; hopefully the additional debug info will reveal this.
to avoid repeating identical NavCache/SQL queries. Also ensures we're
not using multiple FGAirport instances for an airport - each triggering
identical queries to pull in airport data.
Airports by ICAO ID are requested very frequently at run-time, so caching
significantly boosts performance.
Track length is calculate every iteration/for every aircraft. Since some
tracks have hundreds of waypoints, calculation is slow. Cache the
track length between the waypoints ahead, so it rarely needs to be
recalculated.
AIManager had unfortunate code to pass some state to the traffic-manager; this is no longer required since traffic schedules hold onto their AI-Aircraft directly as needed.
Was only cleaning up the PUI menubar, not old bindings / names. This led to duplicate bindings, each time the GUI was reset, which can happen for various reasons.
"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.
Tolerate Octree leaf children which have been moved outside their leaf's BBox. This is necessary since lazy-loading of ILS and threshold files can cause re-locations even during child traversal, where updating the hierarchy is very complex. Instead, simply tolerate this case, and rely on the real position data (which is correct).
Durk reminded me of this - when we're missing procedures data (the common case), synthesise a plausible (but possibly dangerously unrealistic) departure and approach. Will work fine for airports in gentle terrain, and likely kill you at challenging airports. You have been warned.
When a position is modified for an in-cache FGPositioned, we need to update the runtime information too, or the Octree code may (rightly) complain that it's seeing inconsistent data. Also make the Octree check an exception throw, and verbose, so this is easier to detect in the future.
Don't show invalid AI/MP models in the HUD (after they were removed from
the scene).
Also, when a radar is installed, consider radar/in-range for HUD display.
ASCII protocols consisting of a single chunk only (one variable per line)
would not work when no "separator" was defined.
Also add error message for protocols with more than one var per line which
are missing a separator...
Make landings and takeoffs look more correct; tweak climb-out and touchdown phases in particular, so the turn to destination heading occurs earlier on climb out, and touchdown occurs close the GS transmitter / some distance down the runway from the beginning.
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.
so we can split ATIS voice files into separate files, i.e. for airport
names and phraseology, so we don't need to regenerate airport names when
extending/changing phraseology. Also allows to add custom airport names.
Enable switching voice files at run-time (different airports could have
different voices...).
