Remove uses of .str(), .c_str() and some other methods of SGPath.
Pass SGPath directly where possible, or explicitly convert to the
appropriate 8-bit encoding.
- Add section tag to support inclusion of ATIS fragments.
- Add visibility, QNH and cloud tokens to support new ATIS formats.
- Add support for starts-with, ends-with and contains comparisons in
conditionals, including negated versions.
- Strip and convert case in comparisons.
- Speak VRB wind direction as "variable".
- Speak zeroes in fractional part of QNH inHg.
- Force US voice in US, Canada and Pacific; UK voice in UK.
- consistent with pause (freeze), /sim/speed-up is now applied to the
dt value for all subsystems, not just the FDM and some instruments.
For example AI traffic can now be sped-up or slowed down.
- requires both an FGData and Simgear update.
Usage:
Add
<comm-radio>
<name>comm</name>
<number>0</number>
<eight-point-three type="bool">true</eight-point-three>
</comm-radio>
to the instrumentation.xml
If eight-point-three is disabled nor not present, previous functionality is unchanged
If eight-point-three is enabled,
set
/instrumentation/comm[x]/frequencies/[selected|standby]-mhz
to the desired 8.33 channel (118.000..136.990) or
/instrumentation/comm[x]/frequencies/[selected|standby]-channel
to the desired channel-number (0..3039).
Valid channels are:
xxx.000
xxx.005
xxx.010
xxx.015
xxx.025
xxx.030
xxx.035
xxx.040
xxx.050
xxx.055
xxx.060
xxx.065
xxx.075
xxx.080
xxx.085
xxx.090
where 118.0 <= xxx <= 136.990
Richard J. Senior:
Without this commit, unknown top-level tags in instrumentation.xml are treated
as errors and the rest of the file is not processed.
Users running Flightgear versions prior to 3.2 have experienced problems with
the comm-radio tags after downloading updated versions of aircraft from FGADDON.
Instrumentation listed after the unrecognized comm-radio tags is not processed
for these users and is inactive in the cockpit.
This commit changes the instrumentation build method so that unrecognized tags
are treated as warnings. This won't help users running older versions but
protects against the same problems occurring if new tags are added to
instrumentation in the future.

I've added an update to dme.cxx /dme.hxx.
It adds a formatted KDI572-574/nm , min and kt string properties meant
for text animations for these instruments.Existing instruments will funtion
as usual, no breaks. The purpose here is to eliminate yet another nasal
workaround which usually needs to repeat some of what the code already does.
The 3 properties are empty when the dme is off (no need to check for power),
dashes when powered up but no source , out of range ,etc.
The are formatted to the KDI-572/573/574 limits ...
0-99.9/100-389 for distance to station,
0-99 minutes for time to station,
groundspeed 0-999 kt.
Usually, in a real cockpit, altimeter shows hPa setting as an integer number and InHg setting is limited to 2 decimals
In aviation we don't need higher numeric precision
- Add a very simple line-of-sight propagation model for the radio
range computation.
- Remove some no longer used debug log messages
- Some code cleanup
- add-noise is now on by default
adding property cuttoff-signal-quality to the comm radio
If signal-quality goes below this value, atis sound is muted.
Also: initialize property power-btn if not defined by the
aircraft or instrument designer
