Write PID file to FG_HOME, use this to detect multiple launches.
When this situation is detected, set a marker property and place various
objects into read-only mode, such as the NavCache and TerraSync.
PID file is created using open+unlink semantics on POSIX, and
DELETE_ON_CLOSE on Windows, so it will be removed when fgfs exits,
even if killed or crashes.
This allows us to display a platform-native dialog for problems
which occur early in startup (before we can show a PUI/Canvas dialog).
In particular this improves feedback where FG_HOME, FG_DATA or
aircraft selection is wrong, all of which happen very early in startup.
Adding a spherical projection mode which will work at the poles and
+180/-180 line correctly. Not yet enabled since it has other issues to
be addressed.
Ensure all FGPositioned related functions return SGSharedPtr
instead of raw pointers to allow automatic conversion to
nasal ghosts without custom helper functions.
This adds the framework for platform cursor implementations; Windows and X11 to be done.
It also extend the mouse-input code to generate hover events suitable for driving tooltips.
Note there should be no visible functionality change from this commit, since everything
is inactive until fgdata changes are made.
This was a bogus concept, either runways have a reciprocal or not (if singled-ended), really this was simply exposing an artefact of the apt.dat encoding. Change to an API which gives what is actually wanted - the ability to extract an airport's runways without any reciprocals included.
Add a puaListBox which can show the contents of a log-buffer. Currently only two buffer sources are supported more to follow (and the dialog XML updates).
As an opt-in API, allow clients to request partial results, with a time-bounded cutoff. Use this to keep the MapWidget responsive even when many airports are being added to the cache (e.g., zooming out or panning rapidly when zoomed out)
Record the historical flight-path (by default, since last takeoff). Optionally display the flight-path in the map; other visualisations (e.g., an 'in-world' view) could also be created. Nasal API to follow so Canvas-map or FMS can show the same data.
Altitude and attitude (Euler angles) are currently recorded but not used anywhere.
