the 30 seconds that Maik had originally intended, according to the comment.
This is important for the pending sound and rotor disc changes (and of course
for realism).
"slow/windmilling propeller" regime. I'm happy with the foundations
of the solution, but this hasn't been complete tested yet. The
solution behavior seems fine on the planes I tried.
PistonEngine class has grown an "Engine" superclass. Some other stuff
moved around too, and I cleaned up some property naming while I was in
there. This hasn't been tested very thorougly, hopefully I didn't
break anything.
configure and compile out-of-the-box on a MinGW target:
Use -lSDL instead of -lglut32 on windows builds when --enable-sdl
is set.
Link against alut.dll in addition to openal32.dll.
Replace BSD bcopy() with ANSI C memmove() in a few places. This is
simpler than trying to abstract it out as a platform dependency in a
header file; bcopy() has never been standard.
The ENABLE_THREADS handling has changed to be set to 0 when threads
are not in use. This breaks expressions like #ifdef ENABLE_THREADS.
Replace with a slightly more complicated expression. It might have
been better to fix the configure.ac script, but I didn't know how and
this whole setting is likely to go away soon anyway.
The MinGW C runtime actually does include snprintf, so only MSVC
builds (and not all WIN32 ones) need _snprintf in JSBSim/FGState.cpp
Building on a platform with no glut at all exposed some spots where
plib/pu.h was being included without a toolkit setting (it defaults to
glut). Include fg_os.hxx first.
And when still using glut, glut.h has a bizarre dependency on a
_WCHAR_T_DEFINED symbol. It it's not defined, it tries to redefine
(!!) wchar_t to disasterous effect.
This update contains a change to not overwrite the altitude-ft preset during
"onground" start. The change also prevents a ground trim issue with the
JSBSim fdm when a "reset" is done by FlightGear.
work on the pa28 idle and without creating ridiculous side effects
(like being able to fly the aircraft with the starter motor, heh).
This one looks pretty good for now, pending work on the propeller to
get its low speed drag in line with reality.
reads the /consumables tree for input to determine weights, but
places output only in /engines/engine[n]/fuel-consumed-lbs where
it gets picked up by the Nasal code.
This is a fix for my earlier "Remove some hardcoded dependencies between fdm,
viewer and acmodel" patch. The problem was discovered when testing the
wrightFlyer.
deriving a class and the base class used this type.) Return to using
const char and hope people compiling against earlier versions of plib
have compilers that think typedef const char cchar; char *abc; is equivalent
to const char *abd;
