Allow selecting carriers from scenarios, and starting at either a
parking position, or a distance offset from the FLOLS (effectively
a crude ‘on-final’)
Extend the —carrier startup option to accept a runway ident of FLOLS,
in conjunction with the existing —offset-distance argument.
Previous implementation wasn’t correct, use a better one now. In the
case of a non-clean exit we will leave a stale .pid file in FG_HOME,
but we clear stale files on the next launch.
We only look at config/eye-lon-deg-path etc if eye-fixed is true. This tag
should be set to true for all views where the eye position is fixed - e.g. all
Tower views plus Fly-By view in fgdata:defaults.xml.
This allows b26 turret views to work without requiring modifications to the
aircraft (which would break usage with older releases of fgfs).
Requires corresponding SimGear change. With this last round, we work
with FGData on non-Latin1 path on Windows. (Final fixes are for
Nasal io.readfile, which needed io.stat to work, and SGSky allowing
correct SGPath use)
Replace the default io.stat with one which uses our validator, and
uses SGPath to call _wstat on Windows. This does mean we return less
information in the stat() result, but it seems nothing actually uses
the result apart from checking if the file exists.
Mark images loaded from splash with origin of splash to prevent use of DDS texture cache and therefore fix distortion by preventing rescale to power of two
Still not complete, but now we set the command line args to be UTF-8 on
Windows, we can strip out more of the ‘local 8-bit’ places (which
screw up, generally).
When loading -set.xml, we load into temporary 'set' node,
then copy across only set/sim/view[]/config/* values into
/ai/models/multiplayer[]/set/sim/view[]/config/.
This ensures that we have just the information required for multiplayer views,
and avoids problems where some properties in /ai/models/multiplayer[]/ were
being archived to autosave_*.xml and loaded in later flightgear sessions.
Calling fgSetXY/fgGetXY takes to long (especially when calling the often needed properties a few times per second in main loop).
Switching to pointers for these nodes, initialized within service-class constructor.
