John Denker's atmosphere changes. Original commit message:
Two-parameter physics-based model of atmosphere up to 262,467 ft i.e.
the top of the mesosphere. Correctly exhibits the HALT phenomenon.
SimGear change. It changes all the SG_xxxx to be the 'real' includes, and gets
rid of many #ifdef SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES. As an added bonus, rather than
replacing 'SG_USING_NAMESPACE(std)' with 'using namespace std', I just fixed
the small number of places to use std:: explicitly. So we're no longer polluting
the global namespace with the entire contents of std, in many cases.
There is one more 'mechanical' change to come - getting rid of SG_USING_STD(X),
but I want to keep that separate from everything else. (There's another
mechnical change, replacing <math.h> with <cmath> and so on *everywhere*, but
one step at a time)
Square the normalized direction acceleration for the y and z axes, so
that turbulence predominantly affects pitch.
Bind to the /environment/turbulence/magnitude-norm and
/environment/turbulence/rate-hz properties in FlightGear.
etc.
Improved the weather system to interpolate between different
elevations and deal with boundary-layer conditions. The configuration
properties are now different (see $FG_ROOT/preferences.xml).
temperature, and dewpoint. The /environment/density-sea-level-slugft3
property has been removed, and the /environment/density-slugft3
property is read-only.
Stratosphere). The atmospheric properties are as follow:
/environment/temperature-sea-level-degc
/environment/temperature-degc
/environment/pressure-sea-level-inhg
/environment/pressure-inhg
/environment/density-sea-level-slugft3
/environment/density-slugft3
Setting either the sea-level or altitude value automatically sets the
other value appropriate, except for temperature at altitude above the
Troposphere (where there's no reliable way to back-calculate it). The
atmosphere model appears in the atmosphere_data array in
environment.cxx, and can easily be extended into the upper
stratosphere and beyond.
These are not yet tied into the FDMs or steam module.
object rather than a pointer.
FGEnvironment now has the beginning of an atmospheric model, and will
recalculate temperature (not pressure or density, yet) based on
elevation.
FGEnvironment has a copy constructor.
default implementation that uses user-supplied params. Currently, the
only parameters are
/environment/params/base-wind-speed-kt
/environment/params/gust-wind-speed-kt
but others will show up soon (i.e. sheer, variable direction, variable
visibility, etc.). To activate these properties, you have to
configure --with-new-environment.
The gusting function is simplistic and needs to be replaced with
something better, though it doesn't feel too far off.
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.
