Support for --carrier-abeam option, which places the aircraft
at the end of a downwind opposite the FLOLS.
Add launcher support for above.
Add carrier display for launcher showing position relative to
carrier.
Previously YASim set /controls/gear/gear-down during startup
depending on whether the aircraft was on the ground or in the air.
As YASim initialization takes place after the overlay is applied,
this over-rode any setting from the overlay.
This change adds a property which can be used by an overlay to
ensure that its /controls/gear/gear-down configuration is not
over-ridden.
Reinstate lod/rough and lod/bare and therefore fix the use of range animations that implement hardwired LOD.
Initially I was reluctant to do this - but after a lot more research I'm no longer convinced that range animations cause a huge performance hit and so we can keep this fix until either the scenery is fixed or the situation becomes clear.
Ideally this fix should be reviewed prior to the next LTS release; or maybe after the next LTS release - but in future reviewed it must be
making the build between Simgear and Flightgear consistent.
- Fix an issue with lib/lib64 path between CentOS/RedHat distributions
and Debian derived distributions.
- Fix a compilation issue with HLA in the Flightgear code.
The base (non-FlightGear) implementation of YASim ground getBody
would always call itself. Fortunately we always replace it with the
FG-specific subclass (FGGround).
Aircraft rah-66 has a bug where it sets root node to type BOOL, which breaks
ViewPropertyEvaluator::getDoubleValue's handling of default values - the string
value of the node is no longer an empty string so we ended up returning 0.0 or
1.0 instead of default_.
The fix is to special-case BOOL. Have also special-cased handling of the root
node, as this is a fairly important part of how ViewPropertyEvaluator works.
Allow selecting carriers from scenarios, and starting at either a
parking position, or a distance offset from the FLOLS (effectively
a crude ‘on-final’)
Extend the —carrier startup option to accept a runway ident of FLOLS,
in conjunction with the existing —offset-distance argument.
