The usual 'modify code before checkin but past testing' Problem.
Return the elevation of the intersection result instead of the
elevation of the querys start point.
Priority scheme for tile loading/removing
Cleaner tile manager interface for AI/groundcache/...
Reduce start-up delay. Drop splash screen when inner scenery is available.
Be nice to osg loader: slow-down main loop while initial scenery is still loading.
Again, the previous commit did not complete for some reason.

This seems to be accepted OSG usage for slave cameras. It's possible
that this order is important for rendering instruments that use RTT
textures on systems without frame buffer object support. I'm thinking
that the resulting bugs may be implicated in the "black rectangle" problem.
Partition depth in CameraGroup:
Remove the ViewPartionNode scenegraph node. The split rendering of the
scene, done to avoid Z buffer precision problems, is now done by two
slave cameras of the viewer.
Rename FGManipulator to FGEventHandler.
Remove virtual member functions that aren't required for event handlers.
Begin using camera group properties to update cameras at runtime;
Initially only the viewport properties are used.
When no camera group is found in the property tree (the default),
create the properties for one. Expose the default window by name.
Add a test for Boost headers to configure.ac. Boost is now a
dependency.
Remove GLUT and SDL versions of the OSG graphics.
CameraGroup supports cameras opened in different windows or in the
same window, with flexible view and perspective specification.
Clean up mouse click handling via osgViewer. Don't let any camera
"have focus;" this forces events to be reported in window coordinates
and simplifies life. Don't use the osgViewer::View::requestWarpPointer
method; instead use our own code which only deals with window
coordinates.
Make glut and sdl versions work with CameraGroup too.
"the [...] patch (for fg) increases the time before invisible geometry (i.e.
geometry not inside the view frustrum) gets deleted. default was 10 seconds
which i am increasing to 2 minutes."
From Till:
i started the project at the end of february with a simple idea: move all
3d-model loading to the DatabasePager-thread. my first attempts looked
promising, though they were a little too optimistic (or naive?). the patch
has evolved a lot since.
currently it does the following things:
1. revive SGModelLib, move functions for xml-model-loading there
2. replace all calls to sgLoad3dModel with calls to either
SGModelLib::loadModel() or SGModelLib::loadPagedModel()
almost all models will be loaded by the DatabasePager. the few exceptions are:
your own plane, shared models in scenery, random objects, AIBallistic models.
3. simplify mode-loading functions (avoid passing around fg_root)
4. avoid supurious MatrixTransform nodes in loaded models
5. fix some memory leaks
Reindent to Stroustrup style.
Make FGPrecipitationMgr an SGSubsystem and remove all references to it
in main.cxx and renderer.cxx.
Use SGGeod::makeZUpFrame instead of a private function in
tileentry.cxx. Rewrite that function, WorldCoordinate, to use
makeZUpFrame too.
As discussed with Tim on irc: Here is a quick fix for the memory-hungry tile
manager. Due to bugs in FGNewCache, old tiles were never deleted.
I left the timestamp-updates in the cull-traversal. but imho things work
just as well when timestamps are updated in FGNewCache::insert_tile() and
FGNewCache::get_tile()
The LOD far range on the tile entry scenegraph node was initialized to
0. This meant that any traverals of active children that happened
before the tile manager updated the node would ignore the node
altogether. Among these is the groundcache traversal which was failing
at startup even though scenery was loaded.
Also added a function to dump scene graph nodes to files; very handy
in gdb.
Make an OSG file reader for .stg files.
New class flightgear::SceneryPager, which is a subclass
osg::DatabasePager to handle explicit delete requests.
Modify FGNewCache, FGTileEntry, and FGTileManager to use
SceneryPager. Mostly this involved removing the queues that talked to
FGTileLoader.
Calculate accurate tile timestamps from the time they are traversed in
the cull stage (which means that they are visible) instead of updating
them periodically.
Replace tile entry transform and range node with one LOD node
Some cleanup in tileentry.cxx, but mostly code to implement loading of tiles
and their models without reference to FGTileEntry or SGBucket structures.
Also, don't do deferred model loading; load them when the tile is loaded.

* 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

Check all tile dirs in FG_SCENERY from left to right: add all objects

sea tile, and finally process the objects. This guarantees that all objects
are placed relative to a valid tile center, rather than to the origin (0/0/0).
This is important for objects in sea tiles, and allows to display objects
of *.stg files that came sooner in FG_SCENERY.
