This patch enables AIModels to use the size on the screen for LOD instead
of distance from eye point.
With /sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-range-mode-pixel set to true
/sim/rendering/static-lod/ai-detailed now contains the minimum size of the
model on the screen to be displayed. Values of 10-50 seem to make some sense.
- Introduce a new LOD: ai-interior
- Load a <model> with <usage>interior</usage> on-demand
- Avoid to load the cockpit of players in MP
- Default LOD is 0.0 - 50.0 meters
Firstly search model in $fg-root/AI/ path,
if not found, search model in --fg-aircraft paths,
if not found, search model in $fg-root/Aircraft path
This commit should solve the complaint "I have an aircraft in a separate Aircraft/ folder
but during MP session other user are shown with the aircraft from the $fg-root/Aircraft path
instead of this behaviour I want to see the aircraft from my separate Aircraft/ folder"
This is a work-around, probably indicates some glitch in the traffic
module flight-plans. Avoid a crash, also refine the exception logic
so individual AI objects can fail.
Nick Vatamaniuc: fix AI aircraft not updating waypoint headings when using custom flightplans.
(Commented out log-line following a non-parenthesised if() test causing problems)
If you want a scenario in a particular session of the sim, ask for
it on the command line / config files, or enable in the GUI.
Note if you had previously 'sticky' scenarios in your autosave.xml, you
will still get them until you clean your autosave, or disable them in
the GUI.
For now it is available in the positioned Nasal
module. FGAirport is fully ported, but especially
procedures/navaids and free functions are still
missing.
Iterator must be reset after clearing waypoint list.
Deleting "*waypoint.end()" doesn't delete the last waypoint (end()-1
does - it is never actually used though).
PositionedID is of "int64_t", which depends on platform: apparently it is
"long long int" for Mac (requiring %lld format), but it is "long int" for
64bit Linux (requiring %ld). To avoid a "compiler warning fix commit
war" ;-) use a type cast to the longest common type (long long int).
Inspired by Harald's patch, attempt to get AI models show realistic gear animations. Unfortunately AI models seem to be ignoring the gear properties, so keeping the code disabled until I can trace down why.
Track length is calculate every iteration/for every aircraft. Since some
tracks have hundreds of waypoints, calculation is slow. Cache the
track length between the waypoints ahead, so it rarely needs to be
recalculated.
AIManager had unfortunate code to pass some state to the traffic-manager; this is no longer required since traffic schedules hold onto their AI-Aircraft directly as needed.
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.
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
In preparation for caching the groundnet in the NavCache, make taxi-nodes and parkings inherit from FGPositioned. As part of this, make them heap (as opposed to value) classes, disable their copy-constructors, remove many mutating operations, and give them real constructors.
Also adapt MP and traffic module to enable the AI module when required.
This makes /sim/ai/enabled an internal property: it can default to false
(in future), and can be enabled as soon as any user-level feature (traffic,
MP, local weather, ...) requires it.
SceneryPager singleton must not be removed while FGScenery is still alive,
so hold a reference to it in FGScenery, saving the pager from being
deleted first.
distance_to_go / lead_distance were not initialized in all constructors.
Fixes 'condition on uninitialized data' reported by valgrind.
Also comment-out unused vars.
MP aircraft are loaded by a separate OSG thread (introduced after FG2.4.0).
The OSG thread also calls the "modelLoaded" callback. However, we mustn't
allow the OSG thread to call FGNasalModelData::modelLoaded directly:
FGNasalModelData isn't thread-safe. There are obvious issues (_callCount++;),
tricky issues like calling the Nasal _parser_ or creating hashes and
modifying the global Nasal namespace. It doesn't use locks to protect
against another thread executing a Nasal context or running garbage
collection. It also executes Nasal code itself (the model's "load" hook),
which we also cannot allow in a separate thread...
This patch returns all Nasal parts of MP-aircraft loading (parsing,
module creation, execution) to the main thread, while keeping the
multi-threaded OSG part (loading of MP-aircraft model files itself).
The same issue exists with scenery models (see other commit).
To summarize with 2 words: It s*cks... ;-)
