rabbit lights appear to almost work except the last light or two is never
included in the animation and longer strings of lights are drawn as all
light on ... :-(
a tile boundary. (Potentially imposes a slight performance penalty, but
getting the correct answer needs to be higher priority than getting the
wrong answer really quickly.)
I noticed that textures for scenery static objects are not loaded
anymore for a few weeks. Static objects have absolute path while
random objects and aircraft have relative path but fgLoad3DModel
unconditionally prepend fg_root to the model path. This patch test the
beginning of the model path to choose if fg_root has to be prepended
to the model path.
Ok, I found the problem. You're computing the dynamic pressure in
"psf" and adding it to the static pressure in "inHg" to form the
total pressure. The attached patch is the simple fix to the source.
With that fix, failing the pitot while in cruise at 3k' will cause
the airspeed to indicate beyond redline during climb ... well before 4k'.
Thus, a pitot problem can be detected on any IFR altitude change.
Similarly, failing the static (with working pitot) while cruising 4k'
causes the airspeed to indicate beyond redline during a descent
well before reaching 3k' (during which, of course, the ALT looks fine).
Thus, a static failure can be detected before the aircraft breaks out
of the pilot tolerance range and is blatantly conspicuous soon after.
Now the options can be localized as well. This adds a slight problem for
the --language options, but not that much (worst case, the strings are
loaded twice consuming some more memory). I tried to be as accurate as
posiible when copying the options texts, but there might be some
mostakes left.
This adds supports for a language specific font, defined in locale.xml
I've also moved the fgInitLocale() routine from main.cxx to fg_init.cxx
to prevent an ungly extern definition in options.cxx.
are now working. A runway light is defined by a point and a direction. The
point and direction are combined with the local up vector to create a small
triangle orthogonal to the direction. The two ficticous corners of the
triangle are given an alpha value of zero, the orignal corner is given an
alpha of one. The triangle is drawn in glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT, GL_POINT)
mode which means only the corner points are drawn, and since two have alpha=0
only the original point is drawn. This is a long way to go to draw a point,
but it ensures that the point is only visible within 90 degrees of the light
direction, behind the light it is not visible. This is still a long way
to get to drawing a point, but we use an environement map, with the direction
vector as the normal to mimic a light that is brightest when viewed head
on and dimmest when viewed perpendicularly or disappears when viewed from
behind.
- warning, there is a bug in how the current runway light direction vector
is calculated which will adversely effect runway lighting. The airports
should be regenerated in order to fix this problem.
The FGGlobals constructor does not initialise the locale pointer.
Under MSVC, uninitialized pointer have a value of 0xcdcdcdcd, not
0, so a test in mainLoop fails and the program segfault.
This patch set un initial value to locale.
This patch fixes some bugs for correctly reporting un-updated
configuration files, and adds support for a --language=<code>
commandline option, overriding the language specified by the OS.
KEMT (w120n30 scenery), and you will have to set the property
/sim/ai-traffic/enabled to 'true' to see the other plane (and tune
comm1 to 121.2 to hear the other plane's radio calls).
