For FGAIBallistic objects affected by wind, speed vector denotes airspeed.
However, submodels initialize the speed vector using ground speed of the
parent aircraft, instead of its airspeed.
In effect, this means that wind is added to the initial airspeed,
or 'wind is applied twice on initialization'.
This was very noticeable when releasing a submodel with strong sidewind:
the submodel immediately starts drifting laterally at the speed of wind.
Fix the issue by subtracting wind vector from initial speed in
FGSubmodelMgr::transform for submodels affected by wind.
added --use-vpb argument
fgelev: added --tile-file argument
fgelev: enable VPBActive via SGSceneFeatures() as well
When fgelev runs, it does not load the scenery through the normal
process of FGScenery::ScenerySwitchListener(), so
SGSceneFeatures::instance()->setVPBActive() won't get called
unless we do it manually here.
Overview:
Previously Flightgear always used a single osgViewer::Viewer(), which
inherits from both osgViewer::ViewerBase and osgViewer::View, giving a
single view window.
If CompositeViewer is enabled, we instead use a osgViewer::CompositeViewer
which contains a list of osgViewer::View's. Each of these View's can have
its own eye position, so we can have multiple different views of the same
scene.
Enable at runtime with: --composite-viewer=1
Changes to allow use of osgViewer::CompositeViewer:
Previously FGRenderer had this method:
osgViewer::Viewer* getViewer();
This has been replaced by these two new methods:
osgViewer::ViewerBase* getViewerBase();
osgViewer::View* getView();
If CompositeViewer is not enabled (the default), the actual runtime state
is unchanged, and getViewerBase() and getView() both return a pointer to
the singleton osgViewer::Viewer() object.
If CompositeViewer is enabled, getViewerBase() returns a pointer to a
singleton osgViewer::CompositeViewer object, and getView() returns a
pointer to the first osgViewer::View in the osgViewer::CompositeViewer's
list.
The other significant change to FGRenderer() is the new method:
osg::FrameStamp* getFrameStamp()
If CompositeViewer is not enabled, this simply returns
getView()->getFrameStamp(). If CompositeViewer is enabled it returns
getViewerBase()->getFrameStamp(). It is important that code that previously
called getView()->getFrameStamp() is changed to use the new method, because
when CompositeViewer is enabled individual osgViewer::View's appear to
return an osg::FrameStamp with zero frame number).
All code that uses FGRenderer has been patched up to use the new methods so
that things work as before regardless of whether CompositeViewer is enabled
or not.
We make FGRenderer::update() call SviewUpdate() which updates any extra
views.
Extra view windows:
If CompositeViewer is enabled, one can create top-level extra view windows
by calling SviewCreate(). See src/Viewer/sview.hxx for details.
Each extra view window has its own simgear::compositor::Compositor
instance.
Currently SviewCreate() can create extra view windows that clone the
current view, or view from one point to another (e.g. from one multiplayer
aircraft to the user's aircradt) or keep two aircraft in view, one at a
fixed distance in the foreground.
SviewCreate() can be called from nasal via new nasal commands "view-clone",
"view-last-pair", "view-last-pair-double" and "view-push". Associated
changes to fgdata gives access to these via the View menu. The "view-push"
command tags the current view for later use by "view-last-pair" and
"view-last-pair-double".
Extra view windows created by SviewCreate() use a new view system called
Sview, which allows views to be constructed at runtime instead of being
hard-coded in *-set.xml files. This is work in progress and views aren't
all fully implemented. For example Pilot view gets things slightly wrong
with large roll values, Tower View AGL is not implemented, and we don't
implement damping. See top of src/Viewer/sview.cxx for an overview.
OpenSceneGraph-3.4 issues:
OSG-3.4's event handling seems to be incorrect with CompositeViewer -
events get sent for the wrong window which causes issues with resize and
closing. It doesn't seem to be possible to work around this, so closing
extra view windows can end up closing the main window for example.
OSG-3.6 seems to fix the problems.
We warn if CompositeViewer is enabled and OpenSceneGraph is 3.4.
Avoid passing missing add-ons to FlightGear. Since we only write a
cleaned list back to QSettings upon some user change, we can persist
bad paths.
Sentry-Id: FLIGHTGEAR-NG
This very first query was left un-finalized, which apparently blocks
another process from obtaining the exclusive lock needed to
COMMIT. Found using the trace funtions, phew.
Sentry-Id: FLIGHTGEAR-8C
Sentry-Id: FLIGHTGEAR-8F
- Removed the ENABLE_COMPOSITOR CMake flag.
- Removed /sim/version/compositor-support.
- Removed miscellaneous branching to check if the Compositor is enabled.
- Removed custom resource loader since Compositor Effects are now located in $FG_ROOT/Effects.
- Removed splash screen warning.
- Only use the Compositor versions of CameraGroup and FGRenderer.
- Fix redout/blackout not appearing under certain circumstances.
Previously the center of the airport was defined with the correct
elevation, but the runways etc. were built at 0 elevation.
This makes everything at 0 elevation so we can set the elevation
in the STG file for the moment.
