Make landings and takeoffs look more correct; tweak climb-out and touchdown phases in particular, so the turn to destination heading occurs earlier on climb out, and touchdown occurs close the GS transmitter / some distance down the runway from the beginning.
Add missing ATIS elements (transition level, expected approach,
precipitation, runway surface warnings).
Minor phraseology fixes for US/Europe.
Adds "/sim/atis/concise-report" option to use abbreviations (CAVOK etc),
and omit "obvious" units (depends on airport).
Trigger ATIS updates for significant pressure changes.
so we can split ATIS voice files into separate files, i.e. for airport
names and phraseology, so we don't need to regenerate airport names when
extending/changing phraseology. Also allows to add custom airport names.
Enable switching voice files at run-time (different airports could have
different voices...).
puObject only provides float, not double, which causes precision/rounding
issues with some numerical values (try "114.2").
Work around: obtain string value, and manually convert with proper double
precision.
Error/offset induced by precession and yaw also depend on spin (no spin =>
no additional error/offset).
Error/offset induced by changing a/c orientation while gyro spin is
low (<<1) should apply to the "offset" (instead of "error") property.
Expand the performance DB logic to support aliases, and select based on aircraft type as well as class. This allows to introduce some variation into AI traffic performance. Change the initial climb-out waypoints to use pitch-hold until passing 3000', which looks much more convincing
Make traffic manager startup asynchronous, but also avoid frame-stutter due to file parsing on the main thread. Note only XML parsing happens on a thread - once that's complete, everything happens as normal on the main thread, as before.
Apparently most filters are only filtering on type - we weren't running the filter body for navaid or comm-station lookups, causing weird ATIS bugs. Ensure that we actually run the filter at the point we have an FGPositioned* result.
An upcoming commit will make the sound headers standalone, and no longer include various other headers / using std:: declarations. Prepare for this by making includes and usage of namespaces explicit.
Make subsystems create-able and removable from commands. Only some subsystems are supported so far, since many have non-default constructors or other complexities.
With this, change, it's possible to dynamically add and remove the traffic-manager at runtime, for example: fgcommand("add-subsystem", props.Node.new({ "subsystem": "traffic-manager", "name":"traffic-manager", "do-bind-init":1}));
For (future) easier testing of the sim, support a mode where only explicitly named config / option files are loaded, instead of the default ones. (Including, for example, preferences.xml). This currently produces a non-functional sim, but will soon be more useful :)
No behaviour should change unless you try the new option.
FGControls create/init/bind order was incorrect, causing initial property tree state to get over-written. Restructure the code so bind() sees correct values.
- kHz/mHz conversion needs factor 1000 not 100
- Correctly read name for CommStations from NavCache
- Fix parsing CommStation names from apt.dat (Name
can contain spaces)
The Flight-plan leg data computation was omitting certain data for the final waypoint, which in turn made some of the route-manager data bogus when flying the final leg. Fill in some sensible values which we can compute.
Using a tied property works only for one single usage of the
property. In reality FGATIS is normally instantiated four
times (nav/comm/1/2) where only the first instantiation
works correctly. All subsequent instantions fail to tie
and show some error messages.
Also tied properties shouldn't be used anymore.
