"play-audio-function" command. This function can be called from internal
code, from nasal scripts, or from external scripts to play a single one-off
wav file. File/audio data is loaded and unloaded on the fly automatically.
- Provide a Nasal interface to display simple text messages on the screen
like the ATC display. In fact, I copied the code from the ATCDisplay.cxx
and simply shifted it further down the screen.

TODO: Integrate the two pieces of code.
Computes the pick direction and starting point. This is code that translates
a screen coordinate into a vector in the FlightGear world (between the eye and
the on-screen coordinate.) Armed with this vector in FG world coordinates,
you could call a scenery intersection routine and lookup the lon/lat/elev of
the point in the world that was clicked on.
* in some cases more specific sg exception types were used in place
of the more generic one, e.g., sg_io_exception instead of sg_exception
when the context of the error was an IO error
* in some cases, the error message was made more specific
* minor style fix for exception rethrowing --- using throw; whenever
a re-throw is made; sometimes optimizing away the exception symbol name
in the catch handler at all
* more specific catch handlers added in some places -- e.g.,
an sg_io_exception caught ahead of sg_exception
Insert empty string as marker between FG_SCENERY path elements.
FG_SCENERY=A:B expands to [A/Terrain, A/Objects, "", B/Terrain, B/Objects, ""]
(assuming that both A/ and B/ have Terrain/ and Objects/ subdirs).
tileentry.cxx -- FGTileEntry::load():
Check all tile dirs in FG_SCENERY from left to right: add all objects
to the scenery until a terrain tile was found: In this case read the
rest of that group (i.e. the Objects/ twin dir) and then stop scanning.
Better structuring of log messages & fix warnings.
to pop themselves down while the simulator is paused.
The problem was with the "real time" queue in the event manager,
causing the third argument of Nasal's settimer() (a flag for "sim
time") to be ignored. Inverts the default sense of the argument, as
there are lots of uses of settimer() in the current code, almost none
of which want to use real time.
Note this fix introduces a header file incompatibility in SimGear --
be sure to update.
redraw(): redraw gui without distroying dialogs (fgcommand "gui-redaw"/Shift-F10)
This change makes sure that Nasal-generated and dynamic dialogs can be
re-opened correctly when cycling through themes.
there was the situation where four directories contained jst two files,
of which three directories were aircraft related, and one directory contained
test code from Curt that might be better of in SimGear anyhow.
This is just a patch to move a bunch of files to new locations. In case of
local changes to any of them you can do the following:
move replay.[ch]xx from src/Replay to src/Aircraft
move control.[ch]xx from src/Control to src/Aircraft
move ssgEntityArray.[ch]xx from src/Objects to simgear/screen
In addition it has been decided only to use .[ch]xx files in all directories
unless it's contained within an FDM specific directory, in which case the
author is free to do whatever (s)he wants.
In this repspect the following files have been renamed in src/Multiplayer:
tiny_xdr.[ch]pp has become tiny_xdr.[ch]xx
multiplaymgr.[ch]pp has become multiplaymgr.[ch]xx
* Use "const string&" rather than "string" in function calls when appropriate.
* Use "const Point3D&" instead of "Pint3D" in function calls when appropriate.
* Improved course calculation in calc_gc_course_dist()
* Safer thread handling code.
Vassilii Khachaturov:
Dont use "const Point3D&" for return types unless you're absolutely sure.
Erik Hofman:
* Use SGD_(2)PI(_[24]) as defined in simgear/constants.h rather than
calculating it by hand every time.
CygWin/gcc-3.4.4 updates.
I replaced my cygwin compiler with 3.4.4, did a make clean of plib, simgear,
and flightgear, then did a make install of all three. With the included changes,
everything builds fine, and runs fine.
I stumbled across two memory errors with two wrong const references to
std::string.
As I fixed that, I also moved aircraft_dir which is only used from UIUC into
UIUC. With that uiuc_aircraftdir.h is empty and can be removed.
I believe I have found the agl hud problems as well as the 'hole' in the
carrier's deck. I spent half the day to reproduce that problem, it did not
occure when you start on the carrier not does it occure with JSBSim and my
really often used testaircraft. So I really need to improove my helicopter
flying qualities.
I was under the impression that *all* FDM's call
FGInterface::updateGeo*Position(..)
so set the new position in the FDM interface. Therefore I had added at the
some code that updates the scenery elevation below the aircraft to *those*
functions.
Ok, not all FDM's do so :/
The attached patch factors out a function computing the scenery altitude at
the current FDM's position. This function is also used in those FDM's which
need to update this value themselves.
Also this patch restores the nearplane setting and uses the current views
altitude instead of the current aircrafts. I think that this should further
be changed to the eypoint's agl in the future.
The agl is again ok in YASim's hud.
Changes
=======
- acmodel.cxx :
we now have an optional new property (/sim/model/texture-path) that is used
as the first path in wich aircraft textures are searched. If textures are not
found there then the usual texture path or model path is used ;
This allows to replace only needed textures for liveries ;
- options.cxx :
added a new --livery=xxx option for the user pleasure ;
this will just set the /sim/model/texture-path property with /livery/xxxx
- od_gauge.cxx, og_gauge.hxx, cockpit.cxx, cockpit.hxx,
generic-instrumentation.xml :
added an helper class that contain a rendering context for glass instrument
or any other opengl drawn instrument ;
- wxradar.cxx, instrument_mgr.cxx, wxradar.hxx :
first experimentation of a weather radar ;
