scene management code and organizing it within simgear. My strategy is
to identify the code I want to move, and break it's direct flightgear
dependencies. Then it will be free to move over into the simgear package.
- Moved some property specific code into simgear/props/
- Split out the condition code from fgfs/src/Main/fg_props and put it
in it's own source file in simgear/props/
- Created a scene subdirectory for scenery, model, and material property
related code.
- Moved location.[ch]xx into simgear/scene/model/
- The location and condition code had dependencies on flightgear's global
state (all the globals-> stuff, the flightgear property tree, etc.) SimGear
code can't depend on it so that data has to be passed as parameters to the
functions/methods/constructors.
- This need to pass data as function parameters had a dramatic cascading
effect throughout the FlightGear code.

maintianed or upgraded in a *long* time so it didn't support many new
features like the runway lighting. If anyone was using it for anything,
it should not be a huge amount of work to switch to the binary format.
SimGear includes a reader and writer for the binary format.
I modified the files in src/Autopilot to add waypoint capabilities to the telnet port.
'set waypoint <WPT>' will set the next waypoint.
'get waypoint' returns one string which is the list of waypoints.
'set waypoint 0' will delete the next waypoint.
to preserve any non-usa approaches that are missing from the FAA data or
the DAFIFT data (these should be checked against current charts to verify
that these still exist and aren't being incorrectly carried along.)
data. The script is growing though to incorportate other data sources
so the name will probably have to change. DAFIFT is missing many
approaches (for instance it only has 6 approaches from the entirety of
Canada.) This is not yet ready for prime time, I'm simply committing it
to the repository so I can check it out and work on it from multiple
locations.
clearly the date of installation at that particular offset. Offsets are
usually not changed because this would imply moving intersection points,
fixes, changing approaches, and all sorts of cascading effects. GEP near
my house hasn't been adjusted since 1965; it is now about 8 degrees off the
real current magvar.
appears still to be indicating.
Added a 'caged' property to the AI, for aerobatic work.
Temporarily disabled tumbling due to pitch, until I can learn more
about it.
Publish the current amount of tumble (-1.0:1.0) under
/instrumentation/attitude-indicator/tumble-norm.
Set a random value for a numeric property
Params:
<property> - the name of the property to randomize
<min> - the minimum allowed value
<max> - the maximum allowed value
