changed in the initial altitude setting to 3000ft instead of meters (the panel
is in feet).
individual aircraft to have different sounds (and cleaning up my code
a fair bit). The most important user-visible change is the renaming
of the /sim/sound property to /sim/sound/audible.
(other than "none") is "spin", which must be tied to a property giving
a value in RPM. This gets the DC-3 propellers turning. The next type
will be "rotation", which will allow the flaps, elevators, ailerons,
and rudders to move (and even gear, eventually). Later, I'll add
"shift" for sliding things around, and will figure something out for
blinking lights.
the XML file, including the path to the 3D file.
This change obsoletes the existing /sim/model/*-offset-deg and
/sim/model/*-offset-m properties in the main property tree, and
replaces them with /offsets/*-deg and /offsets/*-m in the model
property file. The /path property in the model XML file is relative
to the XML file's location rather than FG_ROOT.
Added two new properties:
/environment/temperature-sea-level-degc
/environment/pressure-sea-level-inhg
These are now supported in FGEnvironment as well, though they always
have the same value for now. They need to be hooked up to the FDMs.
different locations, and hitched it into FGGlobals. FGEnvironmentMgr
has taken over as the subsystem, while FGEnvironment is simple the
information that it returns. I've removed current_environment
completely -- everything now uses properties or goes through
FGGlobals. FGGlobals itself has a couple of useful methods:
const FGEnvironment * get_environment ();
const FGEnvironment * get_environment (double lat, double lon, double alt);
The first one returns the environment data for the plane's current
position, while the second returns the environment data for any
arbitrary location. Currently, they both return the same information,
but that will change soon.
properties have been renamed from wind-(north|east|down)-fps to
wind-from-(north|east|down)-fps, and the FDMs modified appropriately.
No other changes should be visible unless FG_OLD_WEATHER is defined.
Attached are patches for adding the command line options to set initial
glideslope and climb rate. This was really easy to do as all the pieces
were in place. It works well with JSBSim because the trimming routine
finds the right throttle and elevator settings. It should work with
LaRCsim as well, but it has no trimming routine so there will be some
dynamics at startup. I don't know what YASim will do.
via the command line (--enable-clock-freeze / --disable-clock-freeze)
and can be toggled during a run. However this property is not currently
bound to any menu or keystroke so you have to do it via the gui property
interface or externally via the web property browser or a script.

Akso found and fixed a bug in the simgear that caused the time to go goofy
temporarily while scenery was being loaded.
max(width, height) by default (easily changeable) rather than just width.

This works on a CygWin build, and probably works on non-Cygwin builds
as well.
2. Enable FG to start even if audio is not available. (soundmgr.cxx)
Avoids the FGSoundMgr constructor crashing; the rest of FG then runs
OK without sound.
1. Enable auto-configure on more versions of auto tools. (configure.in)
2. Warnings from auto-configure tools. (src/Time/Makefile.am)
3. Typo: "the it's" -> "its". (docs-mini/README.Joystick)
4. Remove definition of FGViewer::update() that now is (or can be) pure

5. Preferred form of function name according to comments in plib:

/sim/freeze/master (implimented)
/sim/freeze/fuel (implimented)
/sim/freeze/position (not implimented)
/sim/freeze/time-of-day (not implimented)
/sim/freeze/master is bound to the 'p' key via keyboard.xml, however,
/sim/freeze/fuel is not bound to anything at the moment so you must
change it via the external property interface, or specify an initial
value on the command line.

base package for experimentation: Ctrl-O to tilt the view down, and
Ctrl-P to tilt the view up.
FDM people. FlightGear now supports an unlimited number of fuel
tanks. Also added correct fuel-flow reporting for piston engines, and
tracked new features in SimGear property support.
