This is just a port of an old 3D HUD patch to the new view code.
This pans the HUD with the view, by pasting it onto a quad fixed in front of the viewer.  It also fixes the awful, arbitrary scaling problems the HUD code has.  The old HUD only looks right when viewed at 1024x768 and 55 degree FOV.  This works the scale out magically so that it looks right in all views.  It also redefines the "<compression-factor>" tag in the ladder to (1) mean compression instead of expansion and (2) have non-psychopathic units (now "1" means 1 degree per degree).  Fix this in your existing HUD ladder files before reporting bugs.  It's definitely a cosmetic win -- the velocity vector points at the right thing and the horizon lines up properly.

I've fixed a bug in FGRunways::search(aptid, tgt_hdg) which wasn't working properly for airports with multiple parallel runways. I've also firmed up and pulled out into it's own function the GetReverseRunwayNo code, and done some input checking.

As a result of fixing the above in runways.cxx, I've pulled out the
parallel implementation in the functions that set position by airport and
heading/runway number in fg_init.cxx and called the runways functions
instead.

22097a5272 Add fgInitNav() function so that navaids and fixes can be loaded
earlier, before fgInitSubsystems().

Modify fgInitPos() so that the plane is not automatically aligned with
a runway when an airport is the reference point unless (a) a runway
was explicitly requested, or (b) the plane is on the ground with no
offset distance specified.  To set up the plane lined up on an
approach to a runway, use something like

  fgfs --airport=CYOW --runway=32 --altitude=300 --offset-distance=0.5

This way, it's possible to specify a starting position relative to an
airport without getting snapped onto a runway approach (unless you
want to be).

79b3e39251 There are a number of little changes. Tested with current cvs as of 20:30EST
04Feb.  Actually been running since the beginning of January with these
patches.  All changes work without crashing with the current base package cvs,
but there are some visual problems with the views (other than pilot view)
without changes to the base package.

As soon as you can build test and commit I can add in those base package
updates that will make it all work nicely.  I will also go through all the 3D
Aircraft configs to make sure the change in the "pitch-offset" for cockpit
views (see below) are made to maintain current behavior.

8cc7b283d5 Refactored some of the navlist code and removed the built in "fail to find"
if the station is too far away.  Instead, simply return the closest station.
All the code that searches navaids does it's own range checking anyway.
This will make the navlist query functions a bit more useful for other
types of functionality where you may need to lookup a station without
consideration of range (i.e. presetting your position relative to a navaid.)

1ec788b6da Patch from Julian Foad to fix wrapping behaviour for property-adjust
and property-multiply:

Firstly, change back to wrapping modulo the interval, with "min <= x <
max" semantics.  I believe the previous implementation did that.  The
inline function that Norman mentioned also does that.

Secondly, make it snap to the nearest value (min + N*resolution) when a
"resolution" tag is present, taking special care of floating-point
precision.  Or perhaps specify "number of divisions in the interval" as
an integer, instead of "resolution" by which I meant a floating-point
"size of a division".

[also fixed]

While working on this file I noticed some potentially serious warnings:

SGPropertyNode*)':

It adds a command line options to enable/disbale distance attenuation

so that the lights *do* fade away as they get furher away but they don't
get smaller in size.

0d12c4d83d Removed the (apparently unused) 'factor' and 'offset' arguments from
property-adjust.

Modified property-adjust and property-multiply so that they always
work with double values, to simplify the code.

Factored out some common code.

Added a 'mask' argument to the property-adjust and property-multiply
commands.  If mask is set to "all" (the default), then the command
works as before; if mask is set to "integer", it works only to the
left of the decimal point; and if mask is set to "decimal", it works
only to the right of the decimal place.  This functionality is useful
for tuning VHF COM and NAV radios.

98dca16794 Having the runway lights "pop" in at a specific range is not 100% realistic.
I have updated the lighting code to use fog to try to fade the runway lights
in smoothly, but still keep them from being visible until you are about 7-10
miles out, and then only have them be very faint at first.  I think what I
have is a bit nicer than before since it completely avoids the "popping" effect,
but I've very open to tweaking the actual ranges based on people's real
world experiences.

52312f2a13 Restructuring some of the initialization code.
The general idea is to help clean up some aspects of the FDM init and be
able to provide startup conditions in a less ambiguous manner.

Previously, things like positions, orientations, and velocites were set on
"the bus".  These had to be read by the FDMs which then were supposed to
initialized themselves to those values and turn write around and start
modifying those values.  It was messy and cumbersome.

Now, all the initial fdm conditions are written to a sub-[property-]tree
under /sim/presets/

The values in /sim/presets/ always stay set to what the user has specified.
The user can change these at his/her liesure, and then request a "reset"
which will reset to the new conditions.  I don't even want to say how this
worked before. :-)

Now, an script, or gui interface can stage a set of initial conditions while
the sim is running (without disrupting it), and then call "reset" to commit
the change.

People who should worry about all this are FDM writters, and a small few
others who care about over all program structure and flow.

72017fc671 Andy Ross:
The biggest and coolest patch adds mouse sensitivity to the 3D
cockpits, so we can finally work the radios.  This ended up requiring
significant modifications outside of the 3D cockpit code.  Stuff folks
will want to look at:

+ The list of all "3D" cockpits is stored statically in the
   panelnode.cxx file.  This is clumsy, and won't migrate well to a
   multiple-aircraft feature.  Really, there should be a per-model list
   of 3D panels, but I couldn't find a clean place to put this.  The
   only handle you get back after parsing a model is a generic ssg
   node, to which I obviously can't add panel-specific methods.

+ The aircraft model is parsed *very* early in the initialization
   order.  Earlier, in fact, than the static list of allowable command
   bindings is built in fgInitCommands().  This is bad, as it means
   that mouse bindings on the instruments can't work yet.  I moved the
   call to fgInitCommands, but someone should look carefully to see
   that I picked the right place.  There's a lot of initialization
   code, and I got a little lost in there... :)

+ I added yet another "update" hook to the fgRenderFrame routine to
   hook the updates for the 3D panels.  This is only required for
   "mouse press delay", and it's a fairly clumsy mechanism based on
   frame rate instead of real time.  There appears to be delay handling
   already in place in the Input stuff, and there's a discussion going
   on about different mouse behavior right now.  Maybe this is a good
   time to unify these two (now three) approaches?

c162577340 Begin work on rendering runway lights using environment maps. The basics
are now working.  A runway light is defined by a point and a direction.  The
point and direction are combined with the local up vector to create a small
triangle orthogonal to the direction.  The two ficticous corners of the
triangle are given an alpha value of zero, the orignal corner is given an
alpha of one.  The triangle is drawn in glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT, GL_POINT)
mode which means only the corner points are drawn, and since two have alpha=0
only the original point is drawn.  This is a long way to go to draw a point,
but it ensures that the point is only visible within 90 degrees of the light
direction, behind the light it is not visible.  This is still a long way
to get to drawing a point, but we use an environement map, with the direction
vector as the normal to mimic a light that is brightest when viewed head
on and dimmest when viewed perpendicularly or disappears when viewed from
behind.

- warning, there is a bug in how the current runway light direction vector
  is calculated which will adversely effect runway lighting.  The airports
  should be regenerated in order to fix this problem.

Curt: Erik changed the sound update intervale and I further I tweaked it.
The issue is that if we put too much into the sound buffer, then we can't react
quick enough to sounds like tire squeek that need to be synced with the visuals
and the action.  We put too little into the sound buffer and we risk the
audio dropping out for moment if a frame takes longer to draw than the amount
of audio in the buffer.

df6989a37a Bernie Bright:
Here is a FGIO class derived from FGSubsystem that replaces the fgIOInit()
and fgIOProcess() functions.  The FGIO::update(double delta) doesn't use the
delta argument yet.  I suspect it could be used as a replacement for the
calculated interval value but I'm not familiar enough with that piece of code
just yet.

I've also added two "command properties" to fg_commands.cxx that select the
next or previous view.  Writing any value to these properties triggers the
corresponding action.  As an example I modified my keyboard.xml:

 <key n="118">
  <name>v</name>
  <desc>Next view</desc>
  <binding>
   <command>property-assign</command>
   <property>/command/view/next</property>

 <key n="86">

  <desc>Prev view</desc>
  <binding>
   <command>property-assign</command>
   <property>/command/view/prev</property>
   <value type="bool">true</value>

the props server.

- Removed some old cruft.

- Removed some support for older versions of automake which technically was
  correct, but caused the newer automakes to squawk warnings during an
  initial sanity check (which isn't done very intelligently.)

  NOTE: this fix is technically not correct for older version of automake.
  These older version use the variable "INCLUDES" internally and could have
  them already set to an important value.  That is why we were appending
  our values to them.  However, newer versions of automake don't set this
  value themselves so it is an error to append to a non-existant variable.
  We seem to "get away" with overwriting the value on older versions of
  automake, but if you have problems, consider upgrading to at least
  automake-1.5.

Added new FGModelLoader and FGTextureLoader classes.  These are intern
tables for models, to guarantee (mostly) that no model is loaded more
than once.  FGTextureLoader is not yet used anywhere, but
FGModelLoader is now in place everywhere that ssgLoad* used to be
used (thus adding the ability to use animations).

8ae364a220 Jim Wilson:
This is a small fix for what turned out to be a major bug.  Ground elevation
was calculated incorrectly when distant from one of the view locations. This
resulted in several problems including bizarre gear trimming, mid air
"crashes" (as in thinking we hit the ground) and so on when close to or on the
ground.

Unfortunately it does require a second ssg traversal when in tower view
(only), but the increased load isn't all that noticable.  For the time being
this really is the best solution.  In a future update I will be eliminating
the unecessary per frame traversals for the static views (without having to
maintain multiple ssgRoots).

When we go to multiple FDM instances we will perhaps need to put the ssg
traversal and ground elevation queries for the FDMs into an event timer that
updates the FDMs ground elevation in a round robin fashion (maybe every 1/n
seconds where n is the number of FDM instances running).

b1674cb506 From: "Jim Wilson" <jimw@kelcomaine.com>
This is a new improved patch for the previous tile manager fixes.

Rather than building dependencies between FGlocation or the viewer or fdm with
tilemgr what I ended up doing was linking the pieces together in the Mainloop
in main.cxx.  You'll see what I mean...it's been commented fairly well.  More
than likely we should move that chunk somewhere...just not sure where yet.

The changes seem clean now. As I get more ideas there could be some further
improvement in organizing the update in tilemgr.  You'll note that I left an
override in there for the tilemgr::update() function to preserve earlier
functionality if someone needs it (e.g. usage independent of an fdm or
viewer), not to mention there are a few places in flightgear that call it
directly that have not been changed to the new interface (and may not need to be).

The code has been optimized to avoid duplicate traversals and seems to run
generally quite well.  Note that there can be a short delay reloading tiles
that have been dropped from static views.  We could call the tile scheduler on
a view switch, but it's not a big deal and at the moment I'd like to get this
in so people can try it and comment on it as it is.

Everything has been resycned with CVS tonight and I've included the
description submitted earlier (below).

Best,

Jim

Changes synced with CVS approx 20:30EDT 2002-05-09 (after this evenings updates).

 or

Description:
In a nutshell, these patches begin to take what was one value for ground
elevation and calculate ground elevation values seperately for the FDM and the
viewer (eye position).  Several outstanding view related bugs have been fixed.

With the introduction of the new viewer code a lot of that Flight Gear code
broke related to use of a global variable called "scenery.cur_elev".

Therefore the ground_elevation and other associated items (like the current
tile bucket) is maintained per FDM instance and per View.  Each of these has a
"point" or location that can be identified.  See changes to FGLocation class
and main.cxx.

Most of the problems related to the new viewer in terms of sky, ground and
runway lights, and tower views are fixed.

There are four minor problems remaining.  1) The sun/moon spins when you pan
the "lookat" tower view only (view #3).  2) Under stress (esp. magic carpet
full speed with max visibility), there is a memory leak in the tile caching
that was not introduced with these changes.  3) I have not tested these
changes or made corrections to the ADA or External FDM interfaces.  4) The
change view function doesn't call the time/light update (not a problem unless
a tower is very far away).

Details:
FDM/flight.cxx, flight.hxx - FGInterface ties to FGAircraftModel so that it's
 location data can be accessed for runway (ground elevation under aircraft)
 elevation.

FDM/larsim.cxx, larcsim.hxx - gets runway elevation from FGInterface now.
Commented out function that is causing a namespace conflict, hasn't been
called with recent code anyway.

FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx, YASim/YASim.cxx - gets runway elevation from
FGInterface now.

Scenery/newcache.cxx, newcache.hxx - changed caching scheme to time based
(oldest tiles discard).

Scenery/tileentry.cxx, tileentry.hxx - added place to record time, changed
rendering to reference viewer altitude in order to fix a problem with ground
and runway lights.

Scenery/tilemgr.cxx, tilemgr.hxx - Modified update() to accept values for
multiple locations.   Refresh function added in  order to periodically make
the tiles current for a non-moving view (like a tower).

Main/fg_init.cxx - register event for making tiles current in a non-moving
view (like a tower).

Main/location.hxx - added support for current ground elevation data.

Here is the new super improved telnet property interface.  CVS changelog
is at the end of this message.  Once this new telnet code is in and
compiles every where we can remove Network/props.[ch]xx.  I've added a
--telnet=<port> command line option to invoke the new server.  Later on
we could remove the --props option, or least change it to invoke the new
server.  I'll let you decide.

I've added some new commands to the telnet interface:

view next      Select the next view.
view prev      Select the previous view.
view set <n>   Select view 'n'
view get       Return index of current view

I'm not sure if these same effects could be achieved through property
operations.  The commands provide a convenient shortcut in any case.

I'm also planning on adding a panel command to manipulate panels and
objects contained therein (eg simulated mouse clicks).  There is going
to be some commonality with the command objects so we may need to
rationalize this in the near future.

Finally, I've also included my python stuff.  This is still very much a
work in progress, basically I've been using it to test the new telnet
server.  I have  tested it with python 2.2.  Feel free to add it to the
repository if you want.  I would suggest a scripts/python directory

CVS Changelog

Network/telnet.cxx: New property telnet protocol interface.  It supports

5a849b66e8 Major overhaul:
- changed FGSubsystem::update(int) to
  FGSubsystem::update(delta_time_sec); the argument is now delta time
  in seconds rather than milliseconds

- added FGSubsystem::suspend(), FGSubsystem::suspend(bool),
  FGSubsystem::resume(), and FGSubsystem::is_suspended(), all with
  default implementations; is_suspended takes account of the master
  freeze as well as the subsystem's individual suspended state

- the FDMs now use the delta time argument the same as the rest of
  FlightGear; formerly, main.cxx made a special case and passed a
  multiloop argument

- FDMs now calculate multiloop internally instead of relying on
  main.cxx

There are probably some problems -- I've done basic testing with the
major FDMs and subsystems, but we'll probably need a few weeks to
sniff out bugs.

18e36a3302 UFO FDM patches from Jonathan Polley:
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 ;)

The practical result of the overflow bug is that a large negative dt was

42a5ee93d7 This patch includes the FGLocation class, a few fixes, cleanup in viewer code.
Synced to CVS 19:36 EDT 2002-04-10 (after this evenings JSMsim and Base
package updates).

Description:
Added FGLocation class which is new home for calculating matrix rotations.
Viewer can now be configured to access rotations created by the model rather
than repeating the same calculations again.

Changed model initialization for the time being so that its location data is
available for the viewer (currently required by other subsystems).  At some
point we can move this back to fg_init along with the viewer initialization.

Seperated the update from the draw function in the model code.  The viewer
code needs the same matrix data, and moving the update portion at this time
does not increase the number of matrix math iterations.

Moved the model draw so that it always appears "in front" of lights and clouds.

Reogranized viewer update routine for using the FGLocation class and
simplified some more tasks.  The routine is fairly easy to follow now, with
the steps ordered and spelled out in comments.

Viewmgr only updates the current (visible) view now, with the exception of an
old reference to "chase view" that will be corrected in forthcoming changes.
Also will be doing some work on the viewmgr outputs.

Model is now clears the z-buffer in all modes.  This will be changed with the
next viewmgr update.  The only side effect is that models always disappear
when over 5km distant from the eye point (can't really see them anyway:-)).

Other than a flag to indicate "internal" view I don't anticipate the
configuration interface for viewmgr/views will be changed a lot for now.  It
is close to done.  The next viewmgr update will however rework the outputs so
may change location.

This code will run with the previous version of preferences.xml, but will run
faster with the newer version.  I am attaching a preferences.xml that should
not be commited before the code.  All the changes are in the /sim/view section
and should show a simpler view configuration that references model locations.
 Note that I've added a 2nd tower view in "lookfrom" mode for illustration
purposes. You can look around using the mouse.  You may want to remove that or
comment it out.

Minor patches to initial tower view code.  Added calculation for "tower" at

farplane from 100m to 5km so that "lookfrom" mode can see the model.  5km is
still in a reasonable range for a depth buffer.  Note that looking at a model
anything but a small distance will cause some problems on older cards.
Temporarily changed viewer to always report elevation/lon/lat of the aircraft
in order to avoid a problem with the ground trim getting recalculated when
tower and aircraft are on different tiles.

Tower View and viewer config is in place.  Note that the interface is

offsets) are still using the old settings.  The tower is hard coded
into the base package for a position off the starting runway at KSFO
and is probably not in the right place for there even.  Looks pretty
cool though!  Tower View is the third view.  If you aren't at KSFO
you'll just see blank space in view 3. It's looking through the earth or
something like that :-).  Important note: zoom in with a few
hits of the "x" key to see the plane better in tower view.

7543409e47 Attached are a fairly extensive series of patches to the ATC
system.  A chap from Germany called Alexander Kappes (cc'd) got
in touch with me a few weeks ago and has written the start of
Approach control.  At the moment tuning in to a valid approach
frequency (Dortmund or East Midlands) should result in vectors to
a spot about 3 miles from the active runway, and a telling off if you
stray too far from the correct course, in the console window.  He
seems to know what he's doing so expect this to improve rapidly!!

I've added a rudimentry AI manager and a hardwired Cessna at
KEMT on the runway - I'll remove it before the next release if I don't
have it flying by then.  There seems to be an issue with framerate
which drops alarmingly when looking at it - I've a feeling that I've
possibly created several Cessnas on top of each other, but am not
sure.

Clear frame buffer and render model after rest of 3D scene. This has a

Just did some more careful testing and I see little or no frame rate loss
with the depth buffer clear.  Also you can change the near plane to 0.1

patches.

58e664a060 Patches from Jim Wilson:
This patch creates a seperate scene graph for the cockpit.  The near plane is
only moved up when in the interior (pilot) view.  This is because with
rounding (I presume) it the visible ground is a bit up higher than it is with
the older nearplane setting.  Not much, but it is enough to bury the wheels.
I suspected this might be true but spliting to two sg's confirms it.  If
necessary we can adjust the model up a bit when in interior view.  This might
be good so we can set the near plane even closer when in the cockpit (its
still at 0.2m).

In general this looks a lot better on my Voodoo with this patch.  No
perceptibel change in frame rate on my system.  In terms of future plans I'd
see the sense in making the model plug into either scene.  This will be
necessary when we have multiple model instances in the frame.

The matrix doesn't define some cells, which are actually used

Think my brain is getting clogged with matrices :-).  Well I've got the funky

got optimized a bit.  At some point we'll need to liberate model.cxx from the
viewer class, but it is no longer hard coded to access the  "pilot view" to
get it's data. Instead it uses whatever the "current" view happens to be.  I
may try and do that final bit of having models rotate independant of the view
tomorrow night, or start right in on the viewmgr and get a tower view up and
running.  You guys have any preference?  My brother's family is coming to
visit for a few days so what I don't get done tomorrow night probably won't

Viewer improvements from Jim Wilson:

XYZ offsets are now defined as follows: X -left/right+ (along wing axis), Y
-up/down+ perpendicular to the aircraft, Z is -in/out+ the aircraft's body axis.
I've also done some cleaning up of unused and mostly unusable interfaces,

eliminated a couple unecessary operations.  I also moved what was left of the

9709dcb307 First steps towards configurable mouse input. Soon, this new code

clicks (no motion yet), and it actually crashes on a middle or right

4d4cd16012 Major viewer-code overhaul from Jim Wilson:
Description:

This update includes the new viewer interface as proposed by David M. and
a first pass at cleaning up the viewer/view manager code by Jim W.

Note that I have dropped Main/viewer_lookat.?xx and Main/viewer_rph.?xx and
modified the Makefile.am accordingly.


Detail of work:

Overall:
The code reads a little easier.  There are still some unnecessary bits in
there and I'd like to supplement the comments in the viewer.hxx with a tiny
bit on each interface group and what the groupings mean (similar but briefer
than what you emailed me the other day).  I tried not to mess up the style,
but there is an occasional inconsistency.  In general I wouldn't call it done
(especially since there's no tower yet! :)), but I'd like to get this out
there so others can comment, and test.

In Viewer:
The interface as you suggested has been implemented.  Basically everything
seems to work as it did visually.  There is no difference that I can see in
performance, although some things might be a tiny bit faster.

I've merged the lookat and rph (pilot view) code into the recalc for the
viewer.  There is still some redundancy between the two, but a lot has been
removed.  In some cases I've taken some code that we'd likely want to inline
anyway and left it in there in duplicate.  You'll see that the code for both
looks a little cleaner.  I need to take a closer look at the rotations in
particular.  I've cleaned up a little there, but I suspect more can be done
to streamline this.

The external declaration to the Quat_mat in mouse.cxx has been removed.  IMHO
the quat doesn't serve any intrinsic purpose in mouse.cxx, but I'm not about
to rip it out.  It would seem that there more conventional ways to get
spherical data that are just as fast.  In any case all the viewer was pulling
from the quat matrix was the pitch value so I modified mouse.cxx to output to
our pitchOffset input and that works fine.

I've changed the native values to degrees from radians where appropriate.
This required a conversion from degrees to radians in a couple modules that
access the interface.  Perhaps we should add interface calls that do the
conversion,  e.g. a getHeadingOffset_rad() to go along with the
getHeadingOffset_deg().

On the view_offset (now headingOffset) thing there are two entry points
because of the ability to instantly switch views or to scroll to a new view
angle (by hitting the numeric keys for example).   This leaves an anomaly in
the interface which should be resolved by adding "goal" settings to the
interface, e.g. a setGoalHeadingOffset_deg(), setGoalPitchOffset_deg(), etc.

Other than these two issues, the next step here will be to look at some
further optimizations, and to write support code for a tower view.  That
should be fairly simple at this point.  I was considering creating a
"simulated tower view" or "pedestrian view" that defaulted to a position off
to the right of whereever the plane is at the moment you switch to the tower
view.  This could be a fall back when we don't have an actual tower location
at hand (as would be the case with rural airports).

ViewManager:
Basically all I did here was neaten things up by ripping out excess crap and
made it compatible as is with the new interface.

The result is that viewmanager is now ready to be developed.  The two
preexisting views are still hardcoded into the view manager.  The next step
would be to design configuration xml (eg /sim/view[x]/config/blahblah) that
could be used to set up as many views as we want.  If we want to take the easy
way out, we might want to insist that view[0] be a pilot-view and have
viewmanager check for that.

The view code wasn't properly handling the transition across tile

one frame at every tile boundary crossing.  This is what
scenery.get_next_center() is for.

Also, I (David Megginson) removed most of the SimGear include

every time SimGear changes.  This required making minor changes to a
lot of files that were depending on the side-effects of the inclusions

I don't know whether this new class will stay or not; it might just be
a temporary step, or it might end up taking over much of the current
viewer functionality.  It would be a bad idea to code against it right
now.

bdbd69effd If the (temporary) property /cockpit is true, set the near clipping
plane to 0.2; otherwise, use the old defaults.

This is a temporary step that will allow me to work on a 3D cockpit

the 3D model in its own scene graph, with different clipping plane.

bd3900a3ff Start of an internal 3-D view. If the property "/cockpit" (temporary
and soon to be renamed) is true, FlightGear will draw the 3-D model
even in internal view.  This makes sense right now only with the C310
model, since the others don't have any kind of interiors modeled and
all surfaces in all models are one-sided.

This isn't quite working yet -- the view code is very hard to
disentangle, and currently, if the view is not forward, roll and pitch
are applied incorrectly.  It looks interesting (modulo a messy model)
on the ground, in level flight, or looking straight ahead under any
other flight conditions.

7e93fca8ee Virtual cockpit patches from Andy Ross:
What the attached patch does is map your panel definition onto a (non
z-buffered) quad in front of your face.  You can twist the view around
and see it move in the appropriate ways.

Apply the patch (let me know if folks need help with that step), and
then set the /sim/virtual-cockpit property to true.  You can do this
on the command line with --prop:/sim/virtual-cockpit=1, or via the
property picker.  Bind it to a key for fast toggling if you like.

The default bindings don't allow for "panning" the view, so you'll
have to modify yours.  These are the mappings to my joystick's hat
switch, for those who need hints:

   <axis n="6">
    <desc>View Direction</desc>
    <low>
     <repeatable>true</repeatable>
     <binding>
      <command>property-adjust</command>
      <property>/sim/view/goal-offset-deg</property>
      <step type="double">1.0</step>
     </binding>
    </low>
    <high>
     <repeatable>true</repeatable>
     <binding>
      <command>property-adjust</command>
      <property>/sim/view/goal-offset-deg</property>
      <step type="double">-1.0</step>
     </binding>
    </high>
   </axis>

   <axis n="7">
    <desc>View Elevation</desc>
    <low>
     <repeatable>true</repeatable>
     <binding>
      <command>property-adjust</command>
      <property>/sim/view/goal-tilt-deg</property>
      <step type="double">1.0</step>
     </binding>
    </low>
    <high>
     <repeatable>true</repeatable>
     <binding>
      <command>property-adjust</command>
      <property>/sim/view/goal-tilt-deg</property>
      <step type="double">-1.0</step>
     </binding>
    </high>
   </axis>

While the current implementation is happy with just plastering the
panel's notion of "screen" into the 3D world, this is actually more
general.  Each panel can, in principle, have it's own coordinate
system, and you could build a cockpit out of a bunch of them.  The
mapping is specified by providing a 3D coordinate for three corners of
the quad the panel should be mapped to; this should be pretty simple
to work with.

All that's needed for a perfectly general solution is a convention on
where to store the information (a cockpit xml file, or put it in the
aircraft -set file, or...), and some work on the panel's coordinate
system conventions (some of which don't coexist very nicely with a
generalized 3D environment).  Combine that with a plib model for the
non-panel interior of the cockpit, and we're golden.

I'm actually really pleased with this.  It worked better and more
quickly than I could have imagined, and impact on the surrounding code
is quite light -- a few property tests only.  But some stuff is still
missing:

+ No equivalent work was done to the HUD, so it still displays
   incorrect headings when the view changes.  The use of pixel
   coordinates deep in the HUD code is going to give me fits doing the
   port, I sure.  It's not nearly so well put together as the panel
   (where I just changed the setup code -- none of the rendering code
   changed at all).

+ I forgot that the panel was clickable. :)  Input events still have
   the screen coordinates, which essentially kills the interactivity
   when in virtual cockpit mode.  This won't be hard to fix; it's only
   broken because I forgot the feature existed.

And one note about the implementation choice: to get away from the
inevitable near clip plane issue, the virtual cockpit renderer simply
disables the z buffer.  This means that cockpits built using these
panels need to be z-sorted, which isn't too hard since they are static
geometry.  It also means that no two "virtual panels" can ever be
allowed to interpenetrate.  No biggie.

subsystem to Flightgear.  No more functionality is implemented
than at present (apart from an ATIS bug-fix - station wouldn't
change if the radio was switched directly from one station to
another) but it is much neater than the current hack and should be
easily extendable.

arbitrary location.  Currently, they both return the same information,

1fa4c88d0e Updates to build system to better support automake-1.5
- automake-1.4 sets default values for INCLUDES which we can't
  overwrite.
- automake-1.5 renames this to DEFAULT_INCLUDES and leaves INCLUDES
  open for the developer to use.

Thus for automake-1.4 we are forced to 'append' to INCLUDES and in
automake-1.5 we can just set the value to whatever we like.
Unfortunately, the behaviors of the two versions are mutually
incompatible.

The solution I am committing now works for both versions but
automake-1.5 generates a lot of spurious warning messages that are
annoying, but not fatal.

18b1b4f7af Added --trace-read=<property> and --trace-write=<property> options.
These will log trace messages whenever a specific property value is
read or written through the property manager.  They do not cause
FlightGear to poll bound values, so if a class variable that is bound
is changed directly, no trace message will be displayed.

These options are also useful in conjunction with a debugger.
--trace-read will cause the private SimGear SGPropertyNode::trace_read
method to be invoked, and --trace-write will cause the private SimGear
SGPropertyNode::trace_write method to be invoked; in a debugger
session, a user can set breakpoints on these methods then get a
backtrace to see what specific points in the code are reading or
writing properties.

519224d9fc Modified initial property parsing order to be more intuitive. It now

aircraft using the /sim/aircraft property.

2. If /sim/aircraft is specified and not empty, parse the properties
in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml to set up a default
aircraft.

3. During command-line parsing, whenever the --aircraft option appears
set /sim/aircraft appropriately and parse the properties in
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml.  Any --config, --prop, or
--aircraft options afterwards will take precedence.

line options.

2b056c8452 This set of changes touches a *lot* of files. The main goal here is to
fix startup sequence problems where we initialize the FDM before we know
the desired starting altitude.

These changes delay fdm initialization until the local tile has been loaded
and we can do a real intersection and find the true ground elevation.

In order to do this, I depend more on the property manager as glue, rather
than the FGInterface.

There are some glitches still when switching to a new airport or reseting
the sim.  I will work on addressing these, but I need to commit the changes
so far to keep in sync with other developers.
