Turns out it was a problem with a long string, not the font. Plib is limited
to 80 characters in things like this listbox. BTW I checked and all the fonts
are missing those characters. So, no point in changing.

Fixed segfault caused by long string.

I changed the sound code to let it use FGCondition. This changes the
code and configuration files rather drastically. Furthermore I've added
an in-transit mode which plays the sound only when the tied property is
changing.
Changes:
Code:
* Added condition support to trigger an event
* Removed the <type> section from the main event definition
(this could be done using conditions)
* Removed the abillity to use several events with the same name,
instead it is required to use conditions.
* Updated the README.xmlsound
Base package:
* Changed the configuration files accordingly.
* Changed flaps and gear to use the new in-stransit mode.
* Changed the flps.wav file so it can be looped.
* Created a new gear.wav file (whcih can be looped)
and a gear-lck.wav file for gear locking sound.
IMPORTANT:
To change existing configuration files to the new ones, it is important
to pack events with the same name together into one singel event, using
the condition specification. Also, when using special types (inverted,
flip-flop, raise or fall) these should be changed to a conditions also.
For more information, please look at
FLightGear/docs-mini/README.xmlsound and the supplied aircraft
configuration files located under FlightGear/Aircraft (espesially
c172/c172-sound.xml and c310/c310-sound.xml).
default implementation that uses user-supplied params. Currently, the
only parameters are
/environment/params/base-wind-speed-kt
/environment/params/gust-wind-speed-kt
but others will show up soon (i.e. sheer, variable direction, variable
visibility, etc.). To activate these properties, you have to
configure --with-new-environment.
The gusting function is simplistic and needs to be replaced with
something better, though it doesn't feel too far off.
subproperty, 'spherical', which is true if the object has spherical
symmetry and should rotate around both the x-axis and z-axis to face
the camera (i.e. a simple cloud), and false if the object has only
cylindrical symmetry and should rotate only around the z-axis (i.e. a
tree).
1. If /position/longitude-deg and /position/latitude-deg are in range,
use them.
2. Otherwise, if /sim/startup/airport-id is not empty, use it.
3. Otherwise, set the lon/lat to the middle of the KSFO field.
The default used to be Globe, AZ, but that doesn't make sense since we
don't distribute that scenery by default any more.
With this change, starting from a save file seems to work properly:
fgfs myflight.sav
- Added initial_value argument, in milliseconds, that specifies when
event is first run. The default value of -1 triggers the event
immediately as per the existing behaviour. A repeat_value greater than
zero runs the event no less than every 'repeat_value' milliseconds
afterwards. A repeat_value of zero deletes the event.
- Modified run queue behaviour such that only one event per frame is
run.
ATCmgr.cxx:148 says:
// Returns true if the airport is found in the map
Yes, it returns true if the airport has been found. But it fails
to return the airport data. Just plays around with a local pointer. ;-)
I have finished working the bugs out of my "Enhanced" version of the Magic
Carpet FDM. The UFO FDM works the same as the Magic Carpet with the
following exceptions:
The aircraft's pitch is determined by the Elevator setting (with a pitch
rate of 45 degrees per second).
Climb is forward velocity * sin(pitch)
Speed is forward velocity * soc(pitch)
Roll is tied to the aileron (again, with a roll rate of 45 degrees per
second)
Turn rate is sin(roll) * 45 degrees.
Yes, this does mean that turning is quite a bit more sluggish than
climbing.
If you are wondering why a UFO FDM, it is because it's best that I not
replace the existing magic carpet and this FDM does behave like a UFO (it
hovers, can spin and pitch while hovering, and does not obey the laws of
physics ;)
SGTimeStamp "-" operator returns it's result in usec's, there is an upper bound of 37.8 minutes on the maximum difference this operator can reliably report
before the math overflows. I change the global "int elapsed_time_ms" variable
to a "double sim_time_ms" and restructured how the value is calculated.
----
The practical result of the overflow bug is that a large negative dt was
passed to the event manager and the end effect was that no events would
be run until their counters caught up ... in another 37.8 minutes or so.
This led to an investigation into why the ident playing didn't work anymore.
Recent changes in the sound manager broke some assumptions the radiostack
code was making. These patches should hopefully fix all that back up.
Erik, please review these changes to double check I didn't do more damage
than good. :-)
These are the updates for the View manager properties. Removed the last of
items (within the viewer/viewmgr) hard coded to view number. Added support
for per view configuration of ground level nearplane value. Tower views look
very nice with little or no z-buffer problem in the models. Pilot offset
dialog can be used to move eye in all views.
