I have attached some revisions for the UIUCModel and some LaRCsim.
The only thing you should need to check is LaRCsim.cxx. The file
I attached is a revised version of 1.5 and the latest is 1.7. Also,
uiuc_getwind.c and uiuc_getwind.h are no longer in the LaRCsim
directory. They have been moved over to UIUCModel.
What is actually happening is the camera is pointing to the right place (try zooming in), but the camera is also travelling up and down with the nose and it should be staying more steady (in sync with the CG altitude).
Attached is a fix for this. There is still something a little funky going on with the camera, but this solves the biggest problem. You will note that I deleted an unecessary reference to scenery.hxx in the patch.
I split the FGModelPlacement code out into it's own set of source files.
I created two versions of the fgLoad3DModel() routine. One that is
unecumbered by a panelnode dependency and one that is. acmodel.cxx is
the only place that needs to load an aircraft with instrument panels.
model.[ch]xx are now pretty much free to move over into simgear.
loader.[ch]xx should be able to follow closely behind.
This will be a big step towards being able to move the material management
code over into simgear.
the ascii scenery file format has actually worked in quite some time, and the
ADA runway light code has been supersceded by a slightly different mechanism.
requested parameters to determine if this should be an on-ground vs. in-air
start. The problem was that we never defaulted the value to anything so
if we didn't match an in-air condition, we simply inherited whatever value
was there from before.
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.)
