controls in the cockpit vs. which wheels they apply to. FlightGear now
sets /controls/gear/brake-left, /controls/gear/brake-right, and
/controls/gear/brake-parking. It should be up to the FDM to sort out
which wheels under which circumstances are affected by these controls
and ultimately what happens to the physical motion of the aircraft.
to handlers which might want to assign it to a SGPropertyNode_ptr for
reference counting (Nasal does, for instance, to prevent garbage
collector interactions). If that smart pointer is then destroyed,
that will free this object while it is still live.
Simply use a SGPropertyNode_ptr here; the code ends up smaller as a
bonus, since FGBinding no longer has to deallocation for _arg.
Frederic Bouvier:
First, MSVC 7 bombs when a value greater than 255 is passed to
issomething(), so I copy k to a char (unsigned ) kc before calling
them.
Second, with my french keyboard, and I thing this is the same for
a great number of countries, some characters from the regular ASCII
set can only be get with ALt Gr that appears to be CTRL+ALT.
Especially, I can't select the second engine because '@' is
AltGr+'à' nor all because '~' is AltGr+'é' (and I have to hit space
after otherwise I can get õ or ã that are not used in french) and
FG try to cope with the modifiers.
So, currently, we have to mask out CTRL and ALT modifiers when they
are together. The current bingings don't allow 2 simultaneous to
be declared so it shouldn't break anything.
This patch adds an "interval-sec" property which allows fixing an interval in seconds (or fraction of seconds) for the repeats for emulated axis controls (digital hats) on joysticks.
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.
Here are the two modifications I had to make to get flightgear (just
updated from CVS) to build. The first one is for being able to specify
SimGear's location at the ./configure command line, and the second one
is to be able to link.
menubar. This one allows regular command bindings, with the
(temporary) condition that every menu item must have a unique text
label. The new menubar is disabled by default; to enable it,
configure --with-new-menubar.
Some more cmall changes to the SimGear header files and removed the
SG_HAVE_NATIVE_SGI_COMPILERS dependancies from FlightGear.
I've added a seperate JSBSim patch for the JSBSim source tree.
Indeed, there was no check for panel visibility in the input code. I
guess we've never noticed because nothing was fighting for the same
real estate in the past. This one-liner appears to fix the problem.

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?
- 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.
