Add a LOD (range animation) to each AI model if the property
/sim/rendering/static-lod/ai is set to any number greater than
zero. AI models get loaded but only displayed when closer than
the number given in the property (in meters).
If the property is absent or it's value is less or equal 0.0
than no LOD is added to the AI model.
- Better transistion between taxi and takeoff phases.
- Skipping the pushback stages when a gate doesn't require push-back.
- Some test code always chooses the user aircraft as the one that has to hold position.
- Change AIFlightPlan::waypoint into an independent class FGAIWaypoint
- Don't update leg count until the aircraft has passed the last waypoint that was created by the corresponding leg
- Clear ground network rendering for controllers that are no longer active.
--ai-scenario=... can only add/enable another scenario.
Introduce --disable-ai-scenarios option to disable all scenarios (can be
used by external launchers, GUIs etc)
Also provide error instead of debug message when a scenario cannot be loaded.
Move the disable-HOT feature from the MP aircraft to the a/c base class,
disable HOT for all AIaircraft, since that's a fix/work-around for
#242: AI aircraft respect the user a/c only when HOT is _disabled_ for them
#221: AI aircraft don't stack at parking positions when HOT is disabled
Also generally disables HOT for ballistic and other models (suggested by vivian),
allowing it for ship/carrier models only.
* Update AI aircraft object based on user position.
* Process flightplan
* Don't try to update the radar information for AIAircraft that don't have a valid manager pointer
- Fixed a bug in AI aircraft ground steering code: When aircraft were not moving, the value of headingchangeRate kept increasing to insane levels. Although this was clamped to a maximum of 30 degrees per second, the initial rate could still push the aircraft in the wrong direction. In practice, this bug would be visible when an AI aicraft would be pushed back, when it tended to veer to the right.
- Make sure that the aircraft slows down well ahead of the pushback point. This change ensures that the AC will actually reach the pushback point. It also ensures a slightly tighter steering range.
- AI ground steering rate is tuned to 30 degrees per second at a nominal taxispeed of 15. I now modulate the heading adjustment rate by manipulating the adjustment using a non-linear function (the sqrt). This allows for a slightly tighter turn radius at speeds < 15 and slightly looser turns at speeds > 15.
- The AI Flightplan generation code can return false. This can be used to determine whether any additional AI aircraft may be created. Currently, the function returns false when no more parkings are available. This should limit the build-up of huge AIAircraft tower stacks.
- The ground network can now graphically display all aircraft actitivy on the ground network by using a virtual marker system.
* Added an AIAircraft that is shadowing the user aircraft's behavior, in terms of AI / ATC interactions
* Set up a shadow AI FlightPlan that is used for tracking the user's aircraft.
Almost all FGPropertyData elements received via MP were leaked.
Property data is now cleanly deallocated in the FGExternalMotionData destructor.
Thanks to Jester for reporting rising mem consumption in MP mode.
Priority scheme for tile loading/removing
Cleaner tile manager interface for AI/groundcache/...
Reduce start-up delay. Drop splash screen when inner scenery is available.
Be nice to osg loader: slow-down main loop while initial scenery is still loading.
