coordinated with and approved by Andy.
The lattice(x,y) arguments were being "WRAP()'d" but the WRAP() function
didn't make sense. Instead it was forcing the value to zero if it was
greater than the wrap limit. This was creating large areas of constant
values in the perlin noise maps which resulted in a "constant" turbulence
vector over time -- which is just weird.
Andy couldn't see any reason why the values should be wrapped and couldn't
remember any reason why the WRAP() function was set up like it was.
Andy wanted me to make sure and mention that he was INSANE when he wrote that
code (but now he's sane ... err, mostly.)
New module contributed: AV400WSim.
Supports communication with external (aka real) Garmin 400/500 WAAS flight
sim units. Includes changes to options.cxx and fg_io.cxx to support
invoking and configuring the new module.
New "auto-position" switch to always use closest tower for tower-view.
Exposes new "/sim/airport/closest-airport-id" property.
Display closest airport on groundradar by default.
The internal solver of YASim which computes drag and lift
coefficients now actually uses the values configured in
the XML input file for approach fuel, cruise fuel and cruise
glide angle.
- Allow structuring generic Nasal sources into modules (i.e. support
separate source folders for multiplayer/local weather/... sources)
- Option to enable/disable loading of generic Nasal modules (i.e we only
need to load stuff that is really needed/enabled).
- Provide basic loading sequence: subfolders are strictly loaded _after_
the base directory. So submodules can rely on .nas-scripts like math.nas,
io.nas, debug.nas, ... to be already loaded - dropping the need for
awkward listeners/timers to delay module initialization (loading order
within Nasal/*.nas is still random)
Property "dme-in-range" should also work with ILS signals, which include
a DME. The nav database (dme_list) doesn't have separate entries for
"ILS-DME" (unlike for "VOR-DME"), so searching a DME by frequency didn't
work for ILS.
=> "instrumentation/nav[*]/dme-in-range" can now be used to enable/disable
cockpit DME displays.
Untieing needs to be done prior to the destruction of the object which
aggregated the TiedPropertyList. So the TiedPropertyLists destructor can't
untie the properties automatically (and it doesn't). So, do some manual
clean-up.
SGCloudField::addCloud does *not* keep a reference to SGNewCloud - so we
only need a temporary object. Also adapt to changed addCloud interface
to make things a little more obvious.
