implications.
Fix the ladder so it "moves" around in the hud correctly based on alpha/beta
offset projected onto the horizon line so the horizon is always the horizon.
such a box:
_____/\_____
| Booo |
|__________|
likewise with options bottom, left, right. The size can be set via option
<marker-offset> (analogous to <tape> offsets), which describes the distance
from the base to the peak. Default: 8 px
a 8 pt font (set 8 pt in preferences.xml, too)
- fix vertical alignment of digits in label and ladder (temporary
solution -- the whole font handling needs to be reviewd and fixed)
- simplify nadir and zenith (they always want to be horizontally centered
on the ladder lines, no?)
- simplify and abstract label box drawing (no need for stippled side lines)
- align text (more) correctly in label boxes
- move variable declaration near their first use (c++ style rather than c)
- rename (zenith|nadir|hat) to enable-(zenith|nadir|hat) and make them bool
(for consistency reasons)
- Fix a warning about class member initialization order.
- Clear up a problem with the default autopilot behavior on the back side
of an ILS in preparation for adding a real "back course" approach mode.
I attach 2 new files and a diff file for the associated changes to add a
“fluxgate compass” to the instrument inventory. Whist this outputs
essentially the same data as /orientation/heading-magnetic-deg, it has to
be powered, and can be made to fail. I also followed Roy’s suggestion to
generate the error properties for this instrument here rather than in
xmlauto.xml.
When this instrument is included in cvs, I intend to use it in the Hunter,
A4F Seahawk and KC135. After a bit more research, it might be appropriate
for the Spitfire and Hurricane as well. AJ would also like to use it for his
Lightning model.
each frame. However, often these values didn't change leading to bogus data
getting introduced into the computational pipeline.
This patch switches to a much more sane method for ground track computation.
SGPropertyNode to guarded ones. This is also done for JSBSim/JSBSim.hxx,
for which JSB had given explicit permission a while ago. I postponed that
back then, but now is the time.
