da6568ad50 Mathias Fröhlich:
The new multiplayer patch with an extension to transmit some properties with
the base package. The properties are transmitted in a way that will not
immediately brake the packet format if we need new ones.
Even if the maxmimum number needs to be limited somehow, that format might
work well until we have an improoved packet format which is even more compact
and that does not require to retransmit redundant information with each
packet.

That part is relatively fresh and based on that what Oliver provides on his
multiplayer server web page.

The properties are transferred to the client and I have modified the seahawks
rudder animation property to use a relative property path to verify that it
works appart from the fact that you can see it changing in the property
browser.

The movement is still a bit jerky, but that can be fixed/tuned later without
again braking the packet format.

* in some cases more specific sg exception types were used in place
  of the more generic one, e.g., sg_io_exception instead of sg_exception
  when the context of the error was an IO error
* in some cases, the error message was made more specific
* minor style fix for exception rethrowing --- using throw; whenever
  a re-throw is made; sometimes optimizing away the exception symbol name
  in the catch handler at all
* more specific catch handlers added in some places -- e.g.,
  an sg_io_exception caught ahead of sg_exception

Changes
=======

- acmodel.cxx :
  we now have an optional new property (/sim/model/texture-path) that is used
  as the first path in wich aircraft textures are searched. If textures are not
  found there then the usual texture path or model path is used ;
  This allows to replace only needed textures for liveries ;

- options.cxx :
  added a new --livery=xxx option for the user pleasure ;
  this will just set the /sim/model/texture-path property with /livery/xxxx

- od_gauge.cxx, og_gauge.hxx, cockpit.cxx, cockpit.hxx,
  generic-instrumentation.xml :
  added an helper class that contain a rendering context for glass instrument
  or any other opengl drawn instrument ;

- wxradar.cxx, instrument_mgr.cxx, wxradar.hxx :
  first experimentation of a weather radar ;

4df7a3e9f8 Mathias Fröhlich:
I have introduced the posibility to start directly on the carrier.

With that patch you will have a --carrrier=id argument where id can either be
the pennant number configured in the nimitz scenario or the carriers name
also configured in the carriers scenario.
Additionaly you can use --parkpos=id to select different positions on the
carrier. They are also configured in the scenario file.

That includes the switch of the whole FGInterface class to make use of the
groundcache.
That means that an aircraft no longer uses the current elevation value from
the scenery class. It rather has its own local cache of the aircrafts
environment which is setup in the common_init method of FGInterface and
updated either manually by calling
 FGInterface::get_groundlevel_m(lat, lon, alt_m);
or implicitly by calling the above method in the
 FGInterface::_updateGeo*Position(lat, lon, alt);
methods.
A call get_groundlevel_m rebuilds the groundcache if the request is outside
the range of the cache.

Note that for the real usage of the groundcache including the correct
information about the movement of objects and the velocity information, you
still need to set up the groundcache in the usual way like YASim and JSBSim
currently does.
If you use the native interface, you will get only static objects correctly.
But for FDM's only using one single ground level for a whole step this is IMO
sufficient.

The AIManager gets a way to return the location of a object which is placed
wrt an AI Object. At the moment it only honours AICarriers for that.
That method is a static one, which loads the scenario file for that reason and
throws it away afterwards. This looked like the aprioriate way, because the
AIManager is initialized much later in flightgears bootstrap, and I did not
find an easy way to reorder that for my needs. Since this additional load is
very small and does only happen if such a relative location is required, I
think that this is ok.

Note that moving on the carrier will only work correctly for JSBSim and YASim,
but you should now be able to start and move on every not itself moving
object with any FDM.

I have added a --aspect-ratio-multiplier=x.xx option to give some end user

73313ed0e1 Boris Koenig:
After applying the attached patches (based on latest CVS) you should
have a new option available within your version that should also
show up using fgfs --help, the syntax is:

    fgfs --min-status={level} --show-aircraft

whereas "level" can be anything between

    "alpha","beta","early-production" and "production"

Of course running something like

    fgfs --min-status=alpha --show-aircraft

should not return any aircraft right now, as none of the
current aircraft definition files in your base-package is using the
required

    <status></status>

tag - but you can easily give it a try by adding something like

    <status>alpha</status>

The tag should be placed as a sub-tag within <sim> - so directly behind
the <description> tag would be just fine and straight-forward.

d430290e48 Frederic Bouvier:
trying the --show-aircraft option, I noticed that I had
no output. This is because there are still output to
cout or cerr, that are not triggering my console patch
for windows. The patch attached use SG_LOG instead.
A request to hit a key is also added because otherwise,
the console window will disappear as soon as the program
stop.

This problem is minor though given the fact that fgfs.exe
is shipped with fgrun that do show the available aircraft
in a much nicer manner.

46caf8576b Update --showaircraft and --aircraft= options to recursively search the
$FGROOT/data/Aircraft hierarchy.  There could be some long term performance
concerns if a person has a *huge* collection of aircraft or a really slow
file system, but I see zero performance blip here from recursing the default
CVS tree.  We should also allow the user to specify the whole path to the
-set.xml file if they don't want to recurse ... this way we could eventually
come up with an aircraft selection dialog box on the front end so the user
could manually walk the tree to the desired aircraft.  There also the system
wouldn't have to search for the aircraft.

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.

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

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.

Main/main.cxx - added second tilemgr call for fdm, fixed places where viewer
position data was required for correct sky rendering.

Main/options.cxx - fixed segfault reported by Curtis when using --view-offset
command line parameter.

Main/viewer.cxx, viewer.hxx - removed fudging of view position. Fixed numerous
bugs that were causing eye and target values to get mixed up.

ff6943bd09 Regularized the position initialization:
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:

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.

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.

0cc3bed841 Major property-manager rewrite, using const char * throughout
interface instead of string.  This will result in a lot more
efficiency later, once I add in a simple hash table for caching
lookups, since it will avoid creating a lot of temporary string
objects.  The major considerations for users will be that they cannot
use

  node->getName() == "foo";

any more, and will have to use c_str() when setting a string value
from a C++ string.

d0eaafb1e1 Patches from Tony Peden to separate property XML I/O operations into a
separate header file.  This change will help integrate properties into
JSBSim.

Also, I (David Megginson) removed most of the SimGear include
statements from globals.hxx, reducing the amount of recompilation
every time SimGear changes.  This required making minor changes to a
lot of files that were depending on the side-effects of the inclusions
in globals.hxx.

6c978b02f8 Patches from Tony Peden:
Attached are patches for adding the command line options to set initial
glideslope and climb rate. This was really easy to do as all the pieces
were in place.  It works well with JSBSim because the trimming routine
finds the right throttle and elevator settings. It should work with
LaRCsim as well, but it has no trimming routine so there will be some
dynamics at startup.  I don't know what YASim will do.

18b1b4f7af Added --trace-read=<property> and --trace-write=<property> options.

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
works like this:

1. Parse preferences.xml, which will usually specify a default
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.

5c0fa275d7 Tweaks to how we load aircraft defaults and definition file to make things

line options.
