FGInterface::_updateGeocentricPosition() for clarity. Also added an
FGInterface::_updateGeodeticPosition() since it is useful.
A few clean ups to native_fdm.cxx and raw_fdm.hxx.
These will log trace messages whenever a specific property value is
read or written through the property manager. They do not cause
FlightGear to poll bound values, so if a class variable that is bound
is changed directly, no trace message will be displayed.
These options are also useful in conjunction with a debugger.
--trace-read will cause the private SimGear SGPropertyNode::trace_read
method to be invoked, and --trace-write will cause the private SimGear
SGPropertyNode::trace_write method to be invoked; in a debugger
session, a user can set breakpoints on these methods then get a
backtrace to see what specific points in the code are reading or
writing properties.
works like this:
1. Parse preferences.xml, which will usually specify a default
aircraft using the /sim/aircraft property.
2. If /sim/aircraft is specified and not empty, parse the properties
in $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml to set up a default
aircraft.
3. During command-line parsing, whenever the --aircraft option appears
set /sim/aircraft appropriately and parse the properties in
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/{/sim/aircraft}-set.xml. Any --config, --prop, or
--aircraft options afterwards will take precedence.
more intuitive. We switch to an include in the preferences.xml to include
the default model, and then if the user specifies --aircraft=, that is
expanded immediately so portions can be overwritten by subsequent command
line options.
Here's an unusual patch for FlightGear -- I've created .cvsignore
files for every source directory, to make CVS output more informative.
This is especially nice when using cvs-examine from (X)Emacs to look
for changes.
a top level aircraft def file (c172-set.xml)
preferences.xml or --aircraft= or any other property setting mechanism can
be used to set the property "/sim/aircraft". After all options and config
files are parsed, the contents of /sim/aircraft is expanded into a *-set.xml
file and loaded.
Note there is still a problem when doing a 'reset' after doing
a 'goto'. Curt says: I also see that doing two subsequent reset's on a
JSBSim model results in a segfault in a deconstructor deep inside JSBSim.
- changed all sound file properties to end in /path for pathname, and
added /sound and /pitch (with current values as defaults)
- don't activate the stall horn if CAS is less than 30kt (this needs
to be refined somehow)
- declarations to support changes to cxx file
Dynamics (Sim)ulator. Basically, this is a rough, first cut of a "different
take" on FDM design. It's intended to be very simple to use,
producing reasonable results for aircraft of all sorts and sizes,
while maintaining simulation plausibility even in odd flight
conditions like spins and aerobatics. It's at the point now where one
can actually fly the planes around.
