It is Debian Policy to have a man page for all binaries.
Ove has several Wishlist items in the Debian Bug Tracker for this, so I
decided to whip the main `fgfs` manpage together and started one for the
`fgjs` utility (which I've never actually used).
other -- it is now possible to set properties at startup (such as an
autopilot altitude). The only user-visible change, other than the
fact that the properties work as they are supposed to, is that the
heading bug no longer starts at a random value.
function to allow property files as non-option parameters after the
options have finished (and added "--" to terminate options). It's now
possible to do something like
fgfs denver-am.fgd
or even
fgfs at-lax.fgd in-c310.fgd around-sunset.fgd
This works the same way as the --config option, but will be friendlier
for GUIs, where start-up situation files can now be associated easily
with FlightGear.
Changed _set_Accels_Pilot_Body to use FGAuxiliary::GetNpilot instead
of FGAuxiliary::GetPilotAccel. It looks like a similar change was
started but never finished, and there are artifacts still lingering.
With this change, the slip/skid ball now works reasonably on the C172
when in motion, but not at rest (that will have to wait for fixes to
the gear code).
material-specific logic is now removed from the material library and
encapsulated in the material class itself, and materials are loaded
from $FG_ROOT/materials.xml rather than $FG_ROOT/materials. This also
removes a nasty bug in the old material-loading code that caused a
floating-point exception.
- automake-1.4 sets default values for INCLUDES which we can't
overwrite.
- automake-1.5 renames this to DEFAULT_INCLUDES and leaves INCLUDES
open for the developer to use.
Thus for automake-1.4 we are forced to 'append' to INCLUDES and in
automake-1.5 we can just set the value to whatever we like.
Unfortunately, the behaviors of the two versions are mutually
incompatible.
The solution I am committing now works for both versions but
automake-1.5 generates a lot of spurious warning messages that are
annoying, but not fatal.
(i.e. multiloop). Most subsystems currently ignore the parameter, but
eventually, it will allow all subsystems to update by time rather than
by framerate.
beginning of main() for the exceptions that can be enabled (only
divide-by-zero is enabled by default, but you can uncomment any ones
you want); eventually, FlightGear should run cleanly with all FPEs
enabled.
