Attached patch adds support for multiple FIXes with the same name.
Applies to both branches.
New functionality is in query_and_offset, which now returns the FIX
closest to the passed in location.
Updated route manager to take advantage of this.
Otherwise, query functions return an unspecified member from the set
of identically named FIXes. (This was previously the one occurring
last in the database file, but I don't think anybody counted on that.)
- it's unused
- it's hardcoded (we already got rid of all other hardcoded dialogs)
- we'll have to consider switching to osgWidget, which is planned to
get imported into osg. It's unlikely that we add *more* of PLIB
in the meantime.
"the [...] patch (for fg) increases the time before invisible geometry (i.e.
geometry not inside the view frustrum) gets deleted. default was 10 seconds
which i am increasing to 2 minutes."
on the '*'-key, but allow to cycle it by setting
/sim/rendering/on-screen-statistics to "true"
- move that function to the Debug menu (no more key assigned!)
- add "print-statistics" menu entry
under some circumstances. The history of this patch is somewhat unclear,
but was brought to my attention by Martin Spott, while preparing for the
Lelystad FSWeekend show. See also my posting on FlightGear devel, on
November 22, 2007 "(Multiplayer Local Echo Patch)", but wasn't committed
then because I/we assumed that had been superseded by other code
modifications. The local echo problem still persists, however, albeit
under specific circumstances. The current patch reportedly prevents this
from happening.
and the pushback code:
- Traffic manager starts modelload requests immediately upon program
loading
- Only create legs 1 (push back) or five (cruise) of AI traffic.
- AIAircraft's rather obsessive behavior to circle around a waypoint is
largely resolved
- More realistic ground steering for AI aircraft.
a running copy of FlightGear (no need to have FlightGear running on weaker
powered groundstations.)
- Add a test for "valid" gps data.
- Pretty print gps coordinates in debug output.
Thanks to Vivian Meazza for debugging this. The output deque for
FGDigitalFilter was not being kept long enough for the
doubleExponential filter. Reads from output[1] could cause a crash.
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
