the runway length/width/surface material, so that fgfs doesn't drop one on
the ridiculous grass stripe parallel to the grown up concrete runway
(LOWL, LOXZ, ...). The weighting factors are for now made configurable,
so that they are easier to adjust. This can later be made static.
(will soon get forward ported to fg/osg)
Usage: airportinfo("KSFO");
airportinfo(37, 122); # airport closest to lat/lon
airportinfo(); # airport closest to current position
Returns nil on error, or a data hash otherwise. Example:
# length of runway 28R
var len = airportinfo("KSFO").runways["10L"].length;
Note that only one side of a runway is returned.
This fixes a bug that caused both the x and y values of the mouse to
be reset when the cursor was recentered due to hitting the screen
edge.
Based on a suggested patch from Stuart Buchanan

With Stuart's help I've looked closer at this and I think I've tracked
down the cause of the problem:
At least on my computer the sort() call on line 234 in
Environment/environment_ctrl.cxx sorts the vector entries by memory
address instead of altitude, i.e. the custom comparison predicate is not
used. This causes the tables of environment conditions to be reordered
into a wrong order at some weather updates, depending, basically,
on where the memory allocator places the objects. (Btw. why are they are
freshly allocated for each update?)
and "isOnRunway".
- Added initial support for AI controlled pushback operations, making use of the
current editing capabilities of TaxiDraw CVS / New_GUI_CODE. The current
implementation is slightly more computationally intensive than strictly
required, due to the currently inability of taxidraw to link one specific
pushBack point to to a particular startup location. FlightGear now determines
this dynamically, and once we have that functionality in TaxiDraw, the
initialization part of createPushBack() can be further simplified.
- Smoother transition from pushback to taxi. No more skipping of waypoints, and
aircraft wait for two minutes at pushback point.
- The classes FGTaxiNode, FGTaxiSegment, and FGParking, now have copy
constructors, and assignment operators.
- Removed declaration of undefined constructor FGTaxiNode(double, double, int)
- Array boundry checks and cleanup.
- Modified Dijkstra path search algoritm to solve partial problems. Currently
limited to include pushback points and routes only, but can probably be
extended to a more general approach.
- Added initial support for giving certain routes in the network a penalty, in
order to discourage the use of certain routes over others.
"interpolates METAR changes over time as follows:
1) Wind changes are interpolated as vectors, so the change is much more
natural than before - no-longer will your aircraft be suddenly shoved to
one side.
2) Visibility is interpolated as an X-value, which looks pretty neat.
3) Cloud heights and thicknesses are interpolated if they are close to the
aircraft. Cloud textures are not."
- support optional <preamble> and <postamble> which are written right
after opening and before closing respectively. This can be used for a header
line or an XML header.
- unescape <preamble>, <postamble>, <format>, <line_separator>, <var_separator>
so that \t, \n, \r, \f, \v, \xnn, \nnn can be used directly (\a and \b are
ignored; use \\ for the backslash) The long names ("carriagereturn") are still
supported for <var_separator>, but one can just use \r, or \r\n too.
- don't abort when a chunk doesn't have a <node>. This is useful for adding
constant chunks which consist only of a <format>, such as XML tags.

Remove obviously unused variables from FGInterface, make use of
SGMath functions. No longer use plib math functions in FGInterface.
