The quotes form is normally only used for headers with path relative
to the including file's path, though the standard doesn't strictly
mandate this. This is consistent with the rest of sg/fg, it makes the
code's intent clearer and helps to find headers. (And it's a few
milliseconds faster, too.)
This allows to display objects that are in /ai/models/, but not managed
by the AI manager, and it follows fgfs' design principle that subsystems
should communicate over the property tree (if possible). This is a tad
slower, but the radar is only updated once every second.
This patch introduces the optional elements
<config>
<spin-thresh>0.8</spin-thresh>
<max-roll-error-deg>40</max-roll-error-deg>
<max-pitch-error-deg>12</max-pitch-error-deg>
</config>
under the corresponding /instrumentation/attitude-indicator element.
The values are initialized to the shown default values if omitted.
These are the values of the former hardcoded constants.
This makes taxiways smaller (important since at present there are so many).
Restructure the apt.dat parsing code to use a helper class instead of one long
function, and to do less work when parsing the file.
Some of these ideas come from Yon Uriarte's patches - thanks Yon.
static FGAirport helpers. As a result, another global index goes away. Use
the helpers to avoid ugly FGPositioned down-casts in various places.
Also converts the environment/METAR code to deal with FGAirport pointers,
instead of string identifiers, and contains work-in-progress code to implement
the AirportList dialog using FGPositioned. This isn't enabled yet for various
reasons, but is the final piece to allow FGAirportList to be removed.
gone. This is good news, since the old query was implemented as a linear
search, sorted by Manhattan distance, and with a warning not to use the logic
at runtime. Various systems (such as the Mk-VIII) do query such data often,
eg every second.
Also gets Point3D out of Airports/simple.hxx, as a precursor to removing it
completely.
by frequency (which makes sense), and use the FGPositioned spatial data if
required. As a result, the marker beacon list is gone (since beacons are only
searched spatially). In the process, clean up various minor things - most
notably, all the 'airport-related' navaids (ILS, GS, LOC, and the beacons) now
store a FGRunway* instead of an airport id string. This is more precise, and
saves string allocations.
const) which were previously tricky but now easy. Make it possible not to
index certain types (used for taxiways) and exclude anonymous items from
the name index. Related to this, clean up FGRunway further - remove some public
members, and fix a dumb bug of mine, where we create reciprocal entries for
taxiways.
This should make startup (slightly) quicker, and shrinks FGRunway somewhat.
Here's a patch which refactors the 'plain' GPS code into a slightly
more manageable structure - i.e breaks the large update() method into
various sub-functions. I've tested the patch with B1900d, and things
seem to work as expected, but if anyone experiences GPS weirdness
after this is committed, of course please report it.
The motivation for this was helping me learn the code - I've planning
some changes in this area, and splitting up the logic will hopefully
make that task easier.
- updates how filtering is done on the various FGPositioned query functions - both spatial and ident-based.
- updates the KLN-89b / DCLGPS code to use FGPositioned for all Navaid/Airport queries.
me:
Add few include directives in globals.cxx to avoid such MSVC warning messages :
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGAirportList'; no destructor called
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGNavList'; no destructor called
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGTACANList'; no destructor called
deletion of pointer to incomplete type 'FGFixList'; no destructor called
or the unit was not serviceable. This search() routine needs to run every
iteration no matter what the power or serviceable state. If power is turned
off or the unit becomes unserviceable while a beacon sound is playing, the
search() routine still needs to be called so the sound effect can be properly
disabled.
