- Redraw all canvases in the frame OpenVG is initialized.
Otherwise if multiple canvases are created in the same frame
only one of them would get correctly updated.
If OpenVG/ShivaVG is initialized nothing is drawn in the same
frame, therefore we need to draw another frame to ensure all
paths are rendered correctly.
Avoid the application becoming unresponsive during nav-cache rebuilds. We still have to wait for the rebuild, but perform it on a helper thread so the main GUI thread stays responsive and hence doesn't trigger a beach-ball / 'not responding' alert. Also ensures there's some feedback (the spinner) during the rebuild operation, so users don't think we've hung.
In preparation for caching the groundnet in the NavCache, make taxi-nodes and parkings inherit from FGPositioned. As part of this, make them heap (as opposed to value) classes, disable their copy-constructors, remove many mutating operations, and give them real constructors.
New commands request-metar and clear-metar will bind metar reports to an arbitrary property tree path. E.g:
fgcommand("request-metar", var n = props.Node.new({ "path": "/foo/mymetar", "station":"LOWI"}));
- Only render the canvas if something has actually changed
(Currently checked by looking for modified properties).
- Only write bounding box to property tree if it has been
recalculated (until now this happened every frame).
Low spin or switched off gyros result in the indicator being stuck.
When the gyros are repowered, the indication doesn't jump to the correct
indication, but keeps the current error.
so they can instantly adjust to the changed environment.
(Not fully working yet, since some environment settings, like environemnt
pressure/temperature, still changes slowly after a sim reset - instead of
immediately jumping to the new setting. Also, METAR sometimes arrives too
late...).
In advance of converting the Map and NavDisplay to use the canvas, expose the full route-path vector for each flight plan leg, as a vector on the leg. Use leg.path() to get this.
E.g.:
var fp = flightplan();
for (var i=0; i<fp.getPlanSize(); i += 1)
{
var leg = fp.getWP(i);
debug.dump(leg.path());
}
