Rewrite the position-init code for carrier starts, to precisely wait
on the carrier model being loaded, before proceeding with FDM init.
This allows the FDM to see the correct carrier model in the ground
cache, and hence avoids starting in the water.
To implement this, the CheckSceneryVisitor is used to force the carrier
model to be loaded while the splash-screen is visible.
The bug fix is:
- if (!log.output) {
+ if ( !(*log.output) ) {
(i.e., testing the sg_ofstream instance instead of its address) and then
ensuring that the corresponding Log instance is removed from _logs and
destroyed.
The "destroy" part is made automatic by using std::unique_ptr instead of
raw pointers. This allows to simplify several areas of the code.
Don't provide custom definitions for the constructor and destructor of
FGLogger anymore, now that they don't need to do anything: IIRC, this
allows compilers to do some optimizations according to the C++ standard.
Since the paths of files overwritten by FGLogger come from the property
tree[1], they must be validated before we decide to write to these
files.
[1] Except for the "empty" case, which uses the default name
'fg_log.csv'. This file is deemed acceptable to overwrite in the
current directory, as the name is completely fixed and clearly
FG-specific.
Call fgInitAllowedPaths() right after Options::processOptions() (which,
among other things, determines $FG_ROOT and processes
--allow-nasal-read). This way, fgInitAllowedPaths() can be used in much
more code, such as when initializing subsystems.
using --addon=/foo/bar does
* add /foo/bar/config.xml as propertyfile
* add /foo/bar to aircraft_paths to provide read-access
* sets property /addons/addon[n]/path = "/foo/bar"
* addons get initialized from addons.nas in FGDATA/Nasal
Change fgcommand to take an optional property tree root element.
This fixes the animation bindings to use the defined property tree root - to support multiplayer (or other) model that can bind to the correct part of the property tree.
Requires a corresponding fix in sg to allow the command methods to take an optional root parameter.
What this means is that when inside someone else's multiplayer model (e.g. backseat, or co-pilot), the multipalyer (AI) model will correctly modify properties inside the correct part of the property tree inside (/ai), rather than modifying the properties inside the same part of the tree as the non-ai model.
This means that a properly setup model will operate within it's own space in the property tree; and permit more generic multiplayer code to be written.
This is probably responsible for some of the pollution of the root property tree with MP aircraft properties.
This adds console and message-box warnings, based upon aircraft
declaring the minimum FG version they support. A follow-up commit
will extend the launcher UI to warn the user about this in a nicer
way.
This is a headless mode, designed to be invoked from an installer, not
used directly by users. It doesn’t touch the ‘normal’ installation, but
rather removes the other files FG typically creates or downloads.
When building with MSVC, use the CMAKE_MSVCIDE_RUN_PATH variable to
prepend ${MSVC_3RDPARTY_ROOT}/${MSVC_3RDPARTY_DIR}/bin to the PATH in
order to (hopefully) allow fgrcc to find the libraries it needs. We may
need to add something similar for SimGear---will see.
The use of CMAKE_MSVCIDE_RUN_PATH and other ways to address this problem
are discussed at
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28533012/how-to-set-runtime-path-for-cmake-custom-command-on-windows>.
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src/EmbeddedResources/FlightGear-resources.xml
(currently empty) is automatically "compiled" into
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/EmbeddedResources/FlightGear-resources.[ch]xx by
fgrcc inside the build directory. These files are incorporated into the
FlightGear build (FlightGear-resources.cxx is linked into FlightGear).
When the XML embedded resource declaration file added here,
FlightGear-resources.xml, is compiled, fgrcc is passed the
--root=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} option, so that files referred to in
FlightGear-resources.xml are looked up relatively to the root directory
of the FlightGear repository. One could use a second XML embedded
resource declaration file compiled with a different --root option to
grab files from FGData, for instance. I would name such a file
FGData-resources.xml to be consistent with the current naming scheme.
Note: this --root option applies to the paths of real files. Don't
confuse it with the 'prefix' attribute of <qresource> elements
inside XML resource declaration files (such as
FlightGear-resources.xml), which applies to the virtual path of
each resource defined beneath.
The commands in src/Main/CMakeLists.txt ensure that
FlightGear-resources.xml is recompiled with fgrcc whenever it is
changed, and obviously also when FlightGear-resources.cxx or
FlightGear-resources.hxx is missing. However, CMake doesn't know how to
parse fgrcc XML resource declaration files, therefore when a resource is
modified but the XML file it is declared in is not (here,
FlightGear-resources.xml), you have to trigger yourself a recompilation
of the XML resource declaration file to see the new resource contents
inside FlightGear. The easiest ways to do so are:
- either update the timestamp of the XML resource declaration file;
- or remove one or both of the generated files
(FlightGear-resources.cxx and FlightGear-resources.hxx here).
The EmbeddedResourceManager is created in fgMainInit() just after
Options::processOptions() set the language that was either requested by
the user or obtained from the system (locales). Resources from
FlightGear-resources.cxx are added to it, after which
EmbeddedResourceManager::selectLocale() is called with the user's
preferred locale (obtained with FGLocale::getPreferredLanguage()).
Upon reset (fgStartNewReset()), EmbeddedResourceManager::selectLocale()
is called in a similar way after Options::processOptions(), however in
this case the EmbeddedResourceManager instance doesn't have to be
recreated.
- remove use of boost in src/Main/locale.cxx;
- add missing header <cstring> for std::strlen();
- replace NULL with nullptr;
- fix some broken indentation;
- other small readability improvements.
This function returns the preferred "locale"[1] according to user choice
and/or settings (i.e., it is influenced by --language if passed,
otherwise by current locale/system settings). The return value never has
an encoding part. It is the empty string if nothing could be found,
otherwise should look like fr_BE or it_IT.
[1] "language" term used in the function name for consistency with the
existing and related FGLocale::selectLanguage().
Windows and Mac implementations return a string without any encoding
specifier -> remove this specifier directly in the Unix/Linux
implementation for consistency.
Also do some small refactoring with the new static method
FGLocale::removeEncodingPart(). Slight difference with the previous
algorithm: if a '.' is found in the given locale spec, we assert() that
it is not the first character. The previous code in
FGLocale::findLocaleNode() used to consider such weird locale specs
starting with a dot as normal locale specs without any encoding part.
Note: the same change could be done where FGLocale::findLocaleNode()
looks for an underscore in order to prepare for the fallback
search (e.g., 'fr' after not finding translations for 'fr_FR').
Print an error message and exit if --{enable,disable}-enhanced-lighting
or --adf are used (those deprecated options will be removed in a future
version of FlightGear).
The options.cxx code is not ready to handle recursive use of --config
(for config files). Instead of failing in an ugly way, abort with a
clear error message in such situations. See discussion at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35838852/>.
Note: it *is* possible to load XML PropertyList files from config files,
so --config is not entirely "banned" from config files.
+ add missing include
This has the advantage, according to my testing on Linux, that core
files obtained after a crash now point to the crashing thread again,
when one starts 'gdb' on the core file and runs the 'bt' command.
Apparently, when using kill(), the signal is seen as coming from the
outside and gdb's 'bt' command points to the wrong thread in general
when debugging using a core file (when debugging "live", gdb intercepts
the signal even before FG's signal handler is started).
See discussion starting at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35833221/>.
Before SimGear commit a962c90b30f36575d01162b64471fa77473237a0,
SGPath::pathListSep was a char in static memory that was not necessarily
followed by '\0'. As a consequence, using &SGPath::pathListSep as a
C-style string could result in a string containing the correct separator
*plus* whatever followed in memory until the first null byte...
SimGear commit a962c90b30 changes this situation by making
SGPath::pathListSep an array of two const chars: the path list separator
followed by a '\0'.
This commit simply adapts FlightGear to this change, which fixes a
couple of bugs where the separator was used, mainly unneeded NavCache
rebuilds due to the "apt.dat", "fix.dat" and "nav.dat" properties in the
SQLite database containing the correct paths separated by a possibly
incorrect separator string (there was no alteration of the cache
contents as far as I can tell, since the db property is only used to
check if the lists of apt.dat, fix.dat and nav.dat files have changed).
Code and tests to demonstrate migrating of older auto-save files, with
blacklisting support to exclude properties. Disabled pending agreement
on the required blacklisting values.
Some pieces of code such as fgMainInit() and, by cascading effect,
fgInitHome(), were careful to return a meaningful value indicating
success or error, however the main() function in src/Main/bootstrap.cxx
ignored it royally so far.
main() now returns:
- EXIT_FAILURE if fgMainInit() or fgviewerMain() throws an exception;
- whatever said function returns otherwise.
- Rename fatalMessageBox() to fatalMessageBoxWithoutExit(). This should
prevent the kind of bug that prompted this set of changes: someone
calling fatalMessageBox(), assuming the program would stop at that
point, whereas in reality it did not.
- Add new function fatalMessageBoxThenExit(). This is not vital of
course, but allows one to spare one line here and there and to apply
the DRY principle for such fatal exits.
- Replace every existing call to fatalMessageBox() with one or the other
of the two new functions. Improve formatting along the way. This
fixes a few bugs of the kind explained above.
Basically, this is because fatalMessageBox() is only safe to call from
the GUI thread, however it seems fg_terminate() can be called from any
thread (according to C++11 semantics). Additionally, fatalMessageBox()
typically requires some work to happen in the GUI thread (event loop) in
order to display something, but we can't realistically expect this while
running a terminate handler just before the program dies.
See messages around
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35775803/> for a
discussion of this subject.
+ Minor header cleanup (<locale.h> replaced with <clocale>, etc.)
We probably need a warning for cross-aircraft paths, but leaving that
for a separate change since I’m worried it will warn on MP aircraft.
Maybe better checked in the Python scripts than in the app?
Compile a useful subset of FG as a shared library, and add two basic
uses of this to exercise some Flightplan / RoutePath / navaid
functions.
The test framework can/will be expanded incrementally from here, this
is just a starting point.
As part of this, add the ability to distinguish default vs explicit
airport selection via a new /sim/presets/airport-requested flag. This
enables us to more cleanly handle different combinations of startup,
especially the case where the user requests an airport but no runway
(wants auto selection), ensuring we don’t look for the default airport’s
runway (from location-presets.xml) in that case.
- Declare 'datTypeStr' and 'defaultDatFile' as public member variables
of NavDataCache ('defaultDatFile' is not *required* for this commit,
it just seems to make sense to treat both members the same way/keep
them together in the source code).
- New keys under "navigation data" in the JSON report: "fix.dat files"
and "nav.dat files".
Make a single Cmake value to expose the build type to code, and use
this to default a run-time ‘developer-mode’ property, which can be
over-ridden from the command line.
Use this to drive the different warning levels. Policies subject to
review, especially whether nightly builds should default to
developer mode or not.
Uses TTF fonts, and displays more information textually including
the application version and current aircraft.
Also rename FGRenderer::splashinit to preinit, as was suggested
a long time ago.
This change is the logical counterpart of SimGear's change from commit
79f869a7f32910197be72b21f6489fbbba02c836 that moved the following files
from simgear/misc to simgear/io/iostreams:
gzcontainerfile.cxx
gzcontainerfile.hxx
gzfstream.cxx (formerly zfstream.cxx)
gzfstream.hxx (formerly zfstream.hxx)
sgstream.cxx
sgstream.hxx
sgstream_test.cxx
Each argument creates another log file, in the directory named. Symbolic
value ‘desktop’ creates logs on the user’s desktop.
Needs corresponding SimGear commit to build
For unknown reasons this seems to alleviate the word-wrap / min-height
bug on Windows. Committing so we can test and verify this is really
the case before the next release.
Requires FGData commit: 0565eaab10a5d466cd485766b17d1870936a0a57
(which actually renames the file).
Also disables the preferences-load command since I don’t believe it
would actually be safe to reload the defaults without doing a simulator
reset (aircraft -set.xml values would be overwritten, for example)
As discussed on the devel list, only require the major+minor versions
of FG+SG+data to match by default. If we encounter a situation on
a release branch where stronger checks are needed, it’s easy to
restore.
Essentially, adapt two places where options.xml was supposed to be found
in $FG_ROOT (in one of these, the comment was already incorrect way
before the recent change moving options.xml out of FGData).
$FG_INSTALL_PREFIX represents the FlightGear installation prefix, such
as /usr, /usr/local or /opt/FlightGear on Unix systems. Copying the
--help output and translated strings there avoids having to write to
$FG_ROOT when 'make install' (or some OS-dependent equivalent) is run
from the FlightGear build directory---that would be ugly when $FG_ROOT
points to the FGData Git repository.
In FGLocale::FGLocale(), Translations/locale.xml is loaded using
readProperties() and fatalMessageBox() (in case an error is
encountered). Note that it couldn't be loaded via fgLoadProps() in the
current state, because this function relies on guiErrorMessage() when an
error is encountered, which calls mkDialog(), which itself does
globals->get_subsystem("gui"). This last call can't be done from
FGGlobals' constructor---where the 'globals' pointer is still
NULL---hence the need for a different mechanism not relying on
FGGlobals.
For consistency, and also because it provides a better user experience[1],
load options.xml using the same method instead of with fgLoadProps().
[1] I.e., in case of an error, the user gets to see a graphical popup
window with an explanatory message before FG exits, assuming he is
either on Windows, or on Mac, or has Qt support built in FG, as
opposed to only an SG_LOG() call [because when options.xml is
loaded, guiErrorMessage() used by fgLoadProps() can't use the 'gui'
subsystem].
- Add an optional argument to flightgear::initApp(): doInitQSettings.
This argument defaults to true, preserving initApp()'s behavior in
this respect. If this argument is set to false, FGGlobals doesn't have
to be initialized.
- New function flightgear::initQSettings(), called by
flightgear::initApp() when its 'doInitQSettings' argument is true.
This allows initializing the QSettings exactly when it is needed.
- New function flightgear::checkKeyboardModifiersForSettingFGRoot().
The code it contains used to be run from initApp(), which is
undesirable because:
1) initApp() is not only called at FG initialization (fgMainInit()),
but also from QtMessageBox(), from QtFileDialog::exec() and twice
from Options::setupRoot(). However, checking the Alt and Shift
modifiers to set 'fg-root' in QSettings to the special value
"!ask" only makes sense in fgMainInit(), not in these other
places.
2) This code relies on the QSettings to be set up, and therefore on
FGGlobals. Thus, freeing initApp() of its dependency on FGGlobals
requires splitting this keyboard modifiers checking code out of
initApp().
This is likely to fix the problem preventing startup on Windows when the
username contains non-ASCII characters (cf.
<https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=31320>). Thanks to
Headhunter76 for the useful report and to wkitty42 for doing the liaison
officer. ;-)
I can't actually test this, because I don't have Windows. Windows users
should report whether this works for them.
Search for the closest ground-net node near but /not/ on, the requested
runway. This works fairly well, although for some airports the selected
node is surprisingly far from the runway.
The report now looks like:
{
"meta": {
"type": "FlightGear JSON report",
"format major version": 1,
"format minor version": 0
},
...
}
When making compatible changes to the format (e.g., adding members to
JSON objects), only the minor version number should be increased.
Increase the major version number when a change is backward-incompatible
(such as the removal, renaming or semantic change of a member). Of
course, incompatible changes (like this one) should only be considered
as a last recourse.
- New methods Options::printJSONReport() and utility method
Options::OptionsPrivate::createJSONArrayFromPathList().
- Small addition to Options::processOptions(), since the --json-report
option must be processed *after* the TerraSync and download dirs, as
well as aircraft and scenery paths, have been finally set.
Apart from providing a public method giving a path to the autosave file,
the main idea of this commit is to reduce redundancy where
globals->get_fg_home() was so far used in every place where the autosave
file is needed or saved. Use an optional argument for
FGGlobals::loadUserSettings() and FGGlobals::saveUserSettings()[1],
since it should be exceptional to access an autosave file in another
location than $FG_HOME.
Also add comments explaining how to avoid security pitfalls with
saveUserSettings() (cf. discussion around
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35461636/>).
[1] Argument *added* to this method, for consistency with
FGGlobals::loadUserSettings().
Similar to the existing FGGlobals::get/set_terrasync_dir(), add
FGGlobals::get_download_dir() and FGGlobals::set_download_dir() methods,
and of course the corresponding FGGlobals::download_dir public member
variable. FGGlobals::set_download_dir() stores the realpath() of the
given directory, including into the /sim/paths/download-dir property,
which is marked as read-only just as /sim/terrasync/scenery-dir already
is.
Handle the setup of the TerraSync and download dirs all in the same
place (Options::processOptions()), since most of the work is already
done there. This allows one to get rid of fgOptTerrasyncDir() and
fgOptDownloadDir(), and to make it easier to see that
globals->set_terrasync_dir() (resp. globals->set_download_dir()) is
called on the correct SGPath, regardless of whether --terrasync-dir
(resp. --download-dir) was passed.
Always create the TerraSync and download dirs when they don't already
exist, regardless of whether --terrasync-dir or --download-dir has been
given on the command line.
Add comments explaining how to avoid security pitfalls with download and
TerraSync dirs (cf. discussion around
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35461636/>).
Adjust indentation where it was too broken, hampering readbility.
1) Paths and the FG_SCENERY paths list are now printed like:
FG_ROOT=/home/flo/flightgear/src/fgdata
instead of:
FG_ROOT=Path "/home/flo/flightgear/src/fgdata"
Moreover, FG_SCENERY is now correctly printed (without 'Path ""'
wrapping, without Terrain, Objects and markers instead of the actual
scenery paths) regardless of the position of --version relatively to
--fg-scenery, --terrasync-dir, etc. Of course, the values given to
these options do influence the output of --version.
Simplify printing of FG_SCENERY via SGPath::join() and use the
correct, OS-dependent separator between paths, SGPath::pathListSep.
Write the --version output to stdout, as already done for --help;
then it can be easily piped to $PAGER and doesn't get mixed with the
output of SG_LOG (which is on stderr). This is of course backward
incompatible for programs reading the stderr output of
'fgfs --version', but has been agreed upon on FlightGear-devel (cf.
<https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/35461619/>).
2) Don't write explicit values in the OptionResult enum: they don't
matter, but giving them is error-prone in case one does a copy-paste
to add a new member to the enum and forgets to change the value.
It is not needed anymore to hardcode the number of lines of
$FG_ROOT/Airports/apt.dat.gz. The new method, which relies on
SGPath::sizeInBytes() and sg_gzifstream::approxOffset(), works as well
for the other dat files.
Add a new NavCache rebuild phase, REBUILD_READING_APT_DAT_FILES, since
the process is now made of two parts.
Rename NavDataCachePrivate::getDatFilesPaths() to
NavDataCachePrivate::findDatFiles(), because it now returns a
DatFilesGroupInfo (new struct) instead of a PathList. For the same
reason, rename NavDataCachePrivate::aptDatPaths to
NavDataCachePrivate::aptDatFilesInfo. Adapt signatures, etc.
This requires up-to-date SimGear and FGData.
Expand existing —-config option to read either property-XML files (as
it previously did) but for non-XML files, to parse them as command
line argument files.
With Simgear commit d7d59b08a2f1a77a4247ec1a89d6ff48ed73f5c7, this
allows terrasync to be initialised from files in the install data,
which avoids downloading them again.
Relocate the start-up position to a plausible hold-short position
when MP is active and a runway start is requested. This does not (yet)
use ground-net data to identify a real hold-short position.
Remove uses of .str(), .c_str() and some other methods of SGPath.
Pass SGPath directly where possible, or explicitly convert to the
appropriate 8-bit encoding.
When set on the command line, will be used for aircraft packages. When
set in the Qt launcher, will also be used for aircraft downloads at
all times.
When changing the path in the launcher, the set of aircraft catalogs
is refresh automatically. Note the default catalog may need to be
re-installed.
The --metar option has no effect unless --disable-real-weather-fetch is
also passed. This often makes users believe that --metar doesn't work.
Change the implementation for --metar so that it automatically implies
--disable-real-weather-fetch.
After removing /Models from FGData loading of shared models from
within a scenery model failed because the ResourceManager did not know
about additional scenery paths.
The problem was that the change to make FGScenery a standard subsystem caused
the particle OSG group to no longer be inserted into the scene graph. The
solution was to convert the particle group to be set up as a standard branch of
the scene graph, alongside the terrain, models, aircraft, and interior branches.
The particle system is now set up as part of the init() subsystem function call,
so it is compatible with the new subsystem design.
This follows from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.games.flightgear.devel/78650 and
resolves the sign bug https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/1778/ .
Combined with a matching change to FGData, this changes the HUD formats from the
current set of 3 (note that the text in brackets is not shown in the HUD
preferences PUI dialog, but is show here for reference):
0) Decimal degrees (37.618890N -122.375000W)
1) Degrees, minutes (37*37.133N -122*22.500W)
2) Degrees, minutes, seconds (37*37 08.0 N -122*22 30.0 W)
to (here the text in brackets will be shown in the PUI dialog):
0) DDD format (37.618890N 122.375000W)
1) DMM format (37*37.133'N 122*22.500'W)
2) DMS format (37*37'08.0"N 122*22'30.0"W)
3) Signed DDD format (37.618890 -122.375000)
4) Signed DMM format (37*37.133' -122*22.500')
5) Signed DMS format (37*37'08.0" -122*22'30.0")
6) Zero padded DDD (51.477500N 000.461389W)

8) Zero padded DMS (51*28'39.0"N 000*27'41.0"W)
9) Trinity House Navigation (51* 28'.650N 000* 27'.683W)
- Use setlocale() to ensure consistent handling of locales and
string handling irrespective of whether or not QCoreApplication
is invoked. Forces a the C locale for numerics and collation,
since many pieces of FG assume this.
- add a button to the main dialog, explaining how to adjust the
fg-root path via the GUI
- tweak the GUI flow to support explicitly changing the path even
when the default path is acceptable.
Under some conditions on my system
aircraft_paths.begin() was equal to scenery_paths.end()
This resulted in neither of them being added to read_allowed_paths
followed by failure to load Nasal scripts from the aircraft directory.
This might happen, if scenery_paths gets allocated just before aircraft_paths
in memory.
Better loop across the desired lists instead of using fancy tricks with
the iterator.
Avoid intermittent race conditions on shutdown when the OSG
pager/Db thread is running. Ensure the OSG threads are stopped before
we start tearing down any scene graph nodes.
- remove some global headers from AI headers, to avoid pollution
- change how ATC owns the ‘player’ FGAIAircraft so reset works
- ensure AIAircraft controllers are cleared on unbind for reset
This is for the FGProperties::getLongitudeString() and
FGProperties::getLatitudeString() functions. The previous algorithm was to
round the degrees up by the smallest fraction required to prevent a round up to
60 minutes or seconds, and then round down the final minutes or seconds by the
same fraction. The new algorithm is to detect if the final minute or seconds
will be rounded to 60 by the string formatting and, if so, the higher unit
(degrees or minutes) is incremented by one, and the lower unit decremented by
60.
Drop fgNormalizePath, use realpath() only
As this makes it accept relative paths, always use the returned
(absolute) version for the actual file operation to avoid check-to-use
races, or where this is not possible (NasalSGPath) explicitly reject
relative paths
Fix: do_save is a write, not a read
* Before setting /sim/aircraft-dir from the --aircraft-dir option,
canonicalize its value with SGPath::realpath() as is already done in
FGGlobals::append_aircraft_path() for the paths given with --fg-aircraft
or via the FG_AIRCRAFT environment variable.
* This fixes a bug when --aircraft-dir is used, due to the fact that
fgValidatePath() canonicalizes its 'path' argument before matching it
against the allowed patterns, and therefore will not validate paths
under the directory specified with --aircraft-dir if this directory has
been given in a non-canonical form by the user (e.g., containing at
least one symlink component).
* This fix does not lower security: the path which is canonicalized has
been explicitely given by the user. This operation is already done for
all paths specified with --fg-aircraft or via the FG_AIRCRAFT
environment variable, via Options::initPaths() which calls
FGGlobals::append_aircraft_paths().
* To reproduce the bug, create a symlink (e.g., /tmp/aircrafts) to a
directory suitable for --fg-aircraft, then run:
fgfs ... --fg-aircraft=/tmp/aircrafts \
--aircraft-dir=/tmp/aircrafts/SenecaII --aircraft=SenecaII
This will trigger many failures such as:
loadxml: reading '/tmp/aircrafts/SenecaII/Dialogs/registration.xml'
denied (unauthorized directory - authorization no longer follows
symlinks; to authorize reading additional directories, add them to
--fg-aircraft)
(from do_load_xml_to_proptree() in flightgear/src/Main/fg_commands.cxx)
I have also tested this with the ec130b4 and the 777-200ER. Same
problem, same fix.
* If one has the same aircraft in several aircraft directories,
FlightGear should not mix resources from the various aircraft
directories. For instance, if one starts FG with:
--fg-aircraft=/my/personal/dir:/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft
and one has in /my/personal/dir/ec130 a clone of the upstream
developer repo, FlightGear should use either the upstream version from
/my/personal/dir/ec130 or the FGAddon version from
/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft/ec130, but not some strange, untested hybrid
of both.
* This commit makes sure that when the looked-up resource starts with
Aircraft/<ac>, where <ac> is the current aircraft name [last component
of aircraftDir = fgGetString("/sim/aircraft-dir")], then
AircraftResourceProvider::resolve() doesn't search other aircraft
directories if the resource isn't found under 'aircraftDir'.
* To reproduce the bug before this commit, you may add the following
code (there is nothing specific about the SenecaII here, it's just the
aircraft I used for testing):
var file_path = resolvepath("Aircraft/SenecaII/flo-test");
if (file_path != "")

in a keyboard binding for the SenecaII (for instance; you may use the
F11 binding that otherwise only prints a short message). You should
add this to the SenecaII/SenecaII-base.xml file *that will be loaded
by FlightGear*, let's say the one under /my/personal/dir in the
example above (beware of the <path-cache> in autosave_X_Y.xml). Then,
by creating or removing a file named "flo-test" in the SenecaII
subdirectory of other aircraft dirs (for instance,
/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft in the example above), you can see that the
behavior of the loaded aircraft is influenced by the contents of
unrelated versions of the same aircraft that might be present in other
aircraft dirs (e.g., loaded /my/personal/dir/SenecaII influenced by
/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft/SenecaII).
* Aircrafts loading resources using paths relative to the current
aircraft directory (e.g., with 'resolvepath("flo-test")') are not
affected by this kind of problem, because this scheme is handled by
CurrentAircraftDirProvider, which does not exhibit this bug.
negative latitude/longitude coordinates resulted in negative WEST/
SOUTH coordinates for the default format 0 (zero).
This should be now fixed so that
+12.3 gets formatted as 12.3N/E
-12.3 gets formatted as 12.3S/W

This messy approach is to minimise changes during freeze; for 3.7,
I plan to make realpath() handle non-existent files as "realpath
they would have if created now" and get rid of fgNormalizePath
This is insecure because it always (not just on Windows) converts
\ to / before .. checking. Either use the path it returns (as in
f_open()) or use an SGPath (where this conversion is already done)
Only a minor problem because the affected functions are limited to
the .sav file type
While mostly harmless since you're exiting anyway, it's an annoying
distraction when the real problem is "unexpected exit" (e.g.
https://bugs.debian.org/763285 ), and blocks testing with LeakSanitizer
The old Mac launcher doesn’t work on Yosemite, add a tiny
Qt-based launcher inside the main process (no need to fork /
exec) which runs before the OSG window is created.
Will be merged for 3.4, hopefully with no impact on other
platforms.
Unfortunately we can’t drop loaded ones, since the in-memory structures don’t have ref-counting, and we don’t
know what AI plans may be referencing them.
Adds new option --load-tape=foobar to load a flight recorder
tape from the command line. Loads foobar.fgtape from the
directory specified in /sim/replay/tape-directory and starts
replay.
- /sim/aircraft can be set to package ID, including qualified
package ID. If not matching package is found, falls back to
traditional search of fg-aircraft for -set.xml files
By default, if the system version exists and can be used,
then it will be used. Otherwise, the local version will be used

slightly modified
Fixes confusing startup behaviour with malformed args, when
an argument accidentally contains a space (e.g. a park-pos or
protocol desc). In this case we treat the parts after the space as an XML config file name. When we can't find this file, we
completely abandon options setup, which causes many downstream
errors.
Change the behaviour so we warn in this case, but carry on with normal startup.
This is too destructive for many established things, so revert it.
Instead, make the FDM shell save /fdm state on postinit(), and
restore it on re-init (which reposition invokes).
- Not compiled by default, nor hooked up to anything yet.
- Both libraries licensed under modified BSD license.
- Added top-level CMake file for both, to create a plain static
library for each.
- use old-style reset as the basis for a lightweight 'reposition' command. This does not restore state, or reset
time management, but does reset the FDM and re-finalize position.
* make --enable-fpe work on Linux and MSVC
* standardise the code paths for different platforms
* add an argument finding helper to Options
(This is a basic cleanup, contributions from people with
more experience in this area are welcome)
- no dependency on libJpeg or Simgear
- no duplicate rendering of the scene (uses a draw callback)
- supports other image types, eg PNG
- threaded so doesn't block the main loop ever
This makes the behaviour when FGRun (or other GUI launchers)
send bad options much more explicable. Non Windows/Mac systems
get an SG_ALERT on the console as before.
Adapt to corresponding SG change to make SGMaterialLib be ref-counted,
and have the 'reload-materials' command notify the tile-manager of this,
so it can update the options struct it passes to new tiles.
Warn (but do not require, since people would probably complain) when
added paths do not contain an Aircraft subdir. When people specify
a path which ends in /Aircraft, use the parent directory.
- borrow some code from the new reset codepath to cleanly stop the
OSG pager thread during normal shutdown. Avoids a race-condition
destroying various structures the pager thread might be modifying.
This was previously done only if Terrasync was on, but this made
it impossible to use the GUI dialog to turn it on for the first
time in a fresh install
Had to add this to FGGlobals, since it needs to be cleaned up
alongside the sound manager (which ideally it would be owned by,
but that's a change for another day)
Write PID file to FG_HOME, use this to detect multiple launches.
When this situation is detected, set a marker property and place various
objects into read-only mode, such as the NavCache and TerraSync.
PID file is created using open+unlink semantics on POSIX, and
DELETE_ON_CLOSE on Windows, so it will be removed when fgfs exits,
even if killed or crashes.
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.
Allow for advanced animations using easing functions and adapters
for interpolating specific property types (eg. CSS colors).
Old behavior should not have changed.
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.
