Don't detect libsvn without APR.
When installed, enable libsvn support by default (same as for automake).
When enabled, provide libsvn to fgfs.
gitignore temporary CMake files
This fixes at least the startup process.
If an ambigous fix name was presented with --vor=ID or --ndb=ID
present a list of matching records along with frequency and
position in the console to give the user the chance to pick
the correct one by adding the frequency with --vor-frequency=nnn.nn
It does not yes solve the issue when the user relocates using the
GUI dialog. This requires some GUI and Nasal hacking along with a
new Nasal helper function "navaidinfo".
Whenever resolving a (relative) path to an absolute path with
'resolve_maybe_aircraft_path', check if the result is empty and report original
(relative) path as missing. Otherwise no or a meaningless message is
issued ("File '' not found.").
--ai-scenario=... can only add/enable another scenario.
Introduce --disable-ai-scenarios option to disable all scenarios (can be
used by external launchers, GUIs etc)
Also provide error instead of debug message when a scenario cannot be loaded.
Fixed ugly sim-reset issue: Persistent properties (USERARCHIVE attribute)
are retained across sim sessions (when restarting the sim). So they should
also be retained on sim-resets (without the need to first exit/restart
the sim to make them really persistent).
Also, avoid warning due to read-only properties.
Seems the hack was necessary for the pre-OSG display only. Or the feature
is broken since OSG port altogether. But it caused issues for 3D and 2D
cockpits when /sim/virtual-cockpit wasn't enabled. => Removing for now.
Original property-rules in keyboard.xml toggled master and clock freeze
independently - which caused issues when only one property was true. New
command toggles both properties consistently.
This reverts commit b36b33f716.
See #316: Caused issues with sky becoming black in dense fog.
Also: when the fog issue is solved, we could configure the constant
(black) clear color once only (during init), no need to do it in every
loop. Also, entire "if (skyblend) { ... } else {..}" was redundant,
since "if" and "else" clauses were all identical - and the "clearColor"
variables were unused. => Once the fog issue is solved, we can easily
improve the clearColor configuration here.
This class and their source files visual_enviro.[h|c]xx were
unused since OSG transition. It's only functionality was to
keep a variable for the enable-state of rendering of precipitation.
This has now been moved to SGPrecipitation.
This patch also removes all references to this class and
visual_enviro.hxx. Wxradar needs a new implementation for cloud
echoes which probably should be part of fgclouds.
See also SimGear commit 4e6159aa07f2817c09fad72db64d713e47f6f3da
New module contributed: AV400WSim.
Supports communication with external (aka real) Garmin 400/500 WAAS flight
sim units. Includes changes to options.cxx and fg_io.cxx to support
invoking and configuring the new module.
New "auto-position" switch to always use closest tower for tower-view.
Exposes new "/sim/airport/closest-airport-id" property.
Display closest airport on groundradar by default.
Untieing needs to be done prior to the destruction of the object which
aggregated the TiedPropertyList. So the TiedPropertyLists destructor can't
untie the properties automatically (and it doesn't). So, do some manual
clean-up.
When looking _at_ a model with an x,y offset of 0,
then the view heading has no effect. So, force heading offset property
to 0 to keep other property consumers from running incorrect calculations.
=> Trying to rotate the heading offset in Tower/Chase view no longer
rotates the blue sky around the aircraft, though the viewer itself
isn't rotating anything.

- #248: new enable/disable-ai-traffic command-line option
- AI traffic: don't wait for METAR when real-wx-fetch disabled, to
enable AI traffic when running offline
Rename ATC/atis.[ch]xx to ATC/atis_mgr.[ch]xx, to avoid confusingly
having 2 atis.cxx and 2 atis.hxx in the source tree. Also fix a copy
and paste error in src/ATCDCL/CMakeLists.txt.
This patch removes the conditional compilation of ATCDCL, compiling both
the old and new ATC systems. The old system only provides ATIS, AWOS and
some dialog lookups, and hence should not conflict with the new system.
Don't include legacy ATCmgr.hxx when it is not compiled (default).
Do include 3 paths that are necessary for main, but were only picked
up indirectly through the legacy ATC code.
HAVE_CULLSETTINGS_CLEAR_MASK was not set, so a program to test
CLEAR_MASK was added. The Posix timer function clock_gettime is in
librt on Fedora, and probably on other systems too.
Priority scheme for tile loading/removing
Cleaner tile manager interface for AI/groundcache/...
Reduce start-up delay. Drop splash screen when inner scenery is available.
Be nice to osg loader: slow-down main loop while initial scenery is still loading.
This is an ugly hack for automatic runway selection on startup based on
metar data. It's main intention is to make startup.nas obsolete and
to guarantee the same runway selection logic as used for AI traffic.
Calling presets-commit from startup.nas during the initialization
sequence caused occasional trouble and sometimes, the AI traffic
operated on the opposite runway.
This is the initial commit for a reworked environment controller.
The main intention is to decouple the individual modules like
metar fetch, metar properties, environment interpolation etc.
to make it easier for other weather module developers to modify
environment settings.
As a side effect, the dialogs for weather-scenario, weather-conditions,
clouds and precipitations have been merged into a single dialog
The autopilot has grown beyond being just an autopilot. It's
components, filters and controllers could be used to set property
values based on complex rules and driven from other property values.
That's why I chose to give it the name "property-rule".
This patch allows to define an arbitrary number of property rules under
a/sim/property-rule[n]/path
using the same syntax as autopilot configurations.
- Point the homedir variable to %APPDATA%/flightgear.org. This
enables .fgfsrc in this path for windows users.
- Evaluate the returncode of gethostname() to not strdup() bogus
characters on failure. Also mainly on windows.
Add helper to look for an aircraft branch path in multiple candidate locations.
Update the main subsystems to use the helper, and hence load from any aircraft dir.
Split the former single-file-implementation in xmlauto.?xx into multiple
files and use some OO techniques. Started with documentation to be used
with doxygen.
* AI aircraft distance to user proximity detection works again (lat/lon were inverted).
* The parking uses by the user aircraft is marked as such to prevent it being reused by an AI aicraft
* AI aircraft won't receive permission for pushback until the user aircraft is at a fair distance.
This establishes a default state of using the OpenGL fixed function pipeline.
Otherwise a shader program from a state set can leak into state sets that don't
use shaders at all.
* Add a new command line option: --sound-device=""
This makes OpenAL use the sepcified audio device instead of the default
output device. (Look for playback devices when calling openal-info of alcinfo)
- allow multiple <autopilot> elements within an aircraft. All autopilot live in an individual FGXMLAutopilot subsystem which run within a subsystem group now.
Together with previous patch, make view reference frame, view offset,
and current view visible in property tree.
Also some comments about the concepts behind these variables.
Add a view debugging functions and represent the viewer quats in the property tree for debugging.
Do a nontrivial calculation, demonstrating how to find the 12:00 orientation given the view and the view offset. it, and observe that the 12:00 direction does not change when you change the view offset, which is a nontrivial result.
Erik: This already proved to be useful since I now obserbed that the sky and fog coloring code depends on view offset rather that the view orientations. This is why those effects are out of line in some views.
8:: AWOS is available at AWOS locations. (Previously only ATIS was
implemented.)
9:: ATIS phraseology now more nearly conforms to international
standard METAR pattern, and therefore to usual FAA practice.(*)
Items marked with a (*) are fully implemented in the /text/ of the
ATIS message, but the voiced version of the message is degraded by
limitations of the FGFS built-in text-to-speech system.
10:: ATIS now reports sky condition.(*)
11:: ATIS now reports multiple layers of clouds, not just the lowest
layer.(*)
12:: ATIS now takes field elevation into account when calculating
sky condition and ceiling.
13:: ATIS now reports dewpoint.(*)
14:: ATIS now can handle negative quantities (temperature and dewpoint).(*)
15:: ATIS can now report report fractional-mile visibility.(*)
16:: ATIS now uses magnetic (not true) wind directions, as it should.
17:: ATIS generates correct runway number and suffix (nine right,
one one left).
18:: ATIS can be received on nav frequencies, not just comm.
19:: Nothing bad happens if the same ATIS is tuned up on more than
one receiver.
20:: ATIS can be updated at times other than at the top of the hour.
21:: ATIS listens for an "attention" signal, and responds to changes
in the weather by issuing a new ATIS message (somewhat like a
"special observation").
22:: ATIS volume now responds to radio volume setting.
23:: Area-related services (i.e. approach radar) are handled
more-nearly consistently with radio-frequency related services.
24:: ATIS sequence-letter generation has been fixed.
25:: ATIS messages are now in the property tree, so they can be read
e.g. via the http interface.
Patches for configure.ac and Makefile.am files in FG/SG so Mac developers can build these in a unix way.
These also enables Mac developers to choose either PLIB framework or PLIB static libs.
FG crashes at exit at very high likelihood.
The cause of the crash is that some subsystems (input and gui) call get_subsystems() at their destructor.
This is very dangerous since SGSubSystemMgr::get_subsystem() can refer to already deleted subsystems.
Move fgviewer code into fgfs binary. Its osgViewer-style main function is

localtime() is once commented out in simgear/io/sg_binobj.cxx and
a warning says the it can screw up sim time. This is only because
localtime() isn't thread-safe (and its thread-safe cousin localtime_r()
isn't portable). As long as all timing is done in the main thread
(which is the case) there should be no problem. Otherwise we'd have
to implement a simple mutex locked wrapper.
* Some support for geometry information provided by the custom scenery
project. Current support is for AI groundnets and runway use files only
since this is a switch that involves a lot of data verification and
updating, during the transistion the actual path where the data can be
read from is user configurable. setting the property
/sim/traffic-manager/use-custom-scenery-data to true
will cause flightgear to read the ground networks from the scenery
directory (--{fg-scenery}/Airports/[I]/[C]/[A]/[ICAO].groundnet.xml to be
precise). Setting this property to false will retain the original
behvior.
* For departing aircraft, runway takeoff calculations will be done on the
basis of the performance database. For testing purposes, a performance
estimate for a heavy jet has been added.
This was lost when I stopped cloning the near camera to make the far
camera. The result was a lot of breakage, including explicit camera
configurations not working and various ordering issues too.
This seems to be accepted OSG usage for slave cameras. It's possible
that this order is important for rendering instruments that use RTT
textures on systems without frame buffer object support. I'm thinking
that the resulting bugs may be implicated in the "black rectangle" problem.
The near/far boundary, called "near-field", can be set to 0 which
disables the far camera and renders the whole scene using only one
camera. I'm hoping that this may be useful in resolving some
system-specific rendering bugs.
Various fixes were made to correctly render the scene using only the
near camera.
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.
- 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.

Add few include directives in globals.cxx to avoid such MSVC warning messages :

These functions are now called in fgOSMainLoop. The fgMainLoop

also caused the displayed frame rate to double!
free /models/model[*] slot and lets the model manager load the

"path": "Models/Fauna/cow.ac",
"latitude-deg": 16.234,
"longitude-deg": 48.321,
"elevation-ft": 300,
});
An "elevation-m" property can alternatively be used and overrides
the "elevation-ft" property.
Each of the properties "latitude-deg", "longitude-deg", "elevation-ft",
"heading-deg", "pitch-deg", and "roll-deg" can alternatively be used
with "-prop" suffix. Their values must then be property path strings
pointing to a node that can be changed at runtime to move the model.
coordinates that were set relative to the aircraft's position
are picked up before the view update rather than the next cycle.
This avoids ugly fluttering of "passengers" at higher speed.
Partition depth in CameraGroup:
Remove the ViewPartionNode scenegraph node. The split rendering of the
scene, done to avoid Z buffer precision problems, is now done by two
slave cameras of the viewer.
Rename FGManipulator to FGEventHandler.
Remove virtual member functions that aren't required for event handlers.
Begin using camera group properties to update cameras at runtime;
Initially only the viewport properties are used.
When no camera group is found in the property tree (the default),
create the properties for one. Expose the default window by name.
Add a test for Boost headers to configure.ac. Boost is now a
dependency.
Remove GLUT and SDL versions of the OSG graphics.
stabilize some of the odd artifacts we were hearing, that were especially
noticable in clean sound samples like the stall horn or the marker beacon
codes. The change still preserves the doppler effect and maintains the
good work of a previous developer figuring out how to align the model and
listener velocity vectors correctly.
This was a source of a spew of "NaN" error messages at night when the
sun is at a large angle to the zenith. I don't know why this wasn't a
problem before now.
By way of example, here's a patch to make the position init code (in fg_init.cxx) cleaner, partly thanks to the FGPositioned changes. It reduces the file size by 200 lines - virtually all of which was copy-and-paste. Once the remaining class (FGAirport) is converted to inherit FGPositioned, all the future patches should be like this - touching one or a few files at most.
This factors the start-offset logic out into a helper, which also does the final property setting (which has to happen on both the /preset and 'real' values). Using the accessors in FGPositioned, and the offset helper, a couple of cases become trivial (fix and nav) and others become much simpler.
Convert FGNavRecord to inherit FGPositioned. This is much more self-contained than the FGRunway change, since FGNavRecord already had good encapsulation of its state. However, it's a large diff due to moving around two nasty pieces of code - the 'align navaid with extended runway centerline' logic and the 'penalise transmitters at the opposite runway end' logic.
In general things are more readable because I've replaced the Navaid type enum, and the use of Robin's integer type codes, with switches on the FGPositioned::Type code - no more trying to recall that '6' is an outer marker in Robin's data. The creation code path is also pushed down from navdb into navrecord itself.
Convert FGRunway to be heap-based, and inherit FGPositioned. This is a large, ugly change, since FGRunway was essentially a plain struct, with no accessors or abstraction. This change adds various helpers and accessors to FGRunway, but doesn't change many places to use them - that will be a follow up series of patches. It's still a large patch, but outside of FGAirport and FGRunway, mostly mechanical search-and-replace.
An interesting part of this change is that reciprocal runways now exist as independent objects, rather than being created on the fly by the search methods. This simplifies some pieces of code that search for and iterate runways. For users who only want one 'end' of a runway, the new 'isReciprocal' predicate allows them to ignore the 'other' end. Current the only user of this is the 'ground-radar' ATC feature. If we had data on which runways are truly 'single-ended', it would now be trivial to use this in the airport loader to *not* create the reciprocal.
Here's part 2 - converting FGFix (the simplest one) to be both heap-based and inherit FGPositioned. One minor benefit from this is replacing some dangerous code in FGFixList which used to return the address of an iterator member ('&it->second'). To keep the diff a sensible size, I'm not updating the callers to use the richer FGPositioned types - i.e replacing separate lat/lon handling with SGGeod. I will make those cleanups, but in future patches.
Small patch fixing bugs I've encountered while getting the current CVS to build in MSVC.
* std::lower_bound was used with the key-type of a map, but lower_bound expects the value-type of the collection it works on, with is std::pair. MSVC seems to be more strict about this.
* Added an missing include statement.
* Replaced an rint() call with floor() (MSVC does not offer rint).
- Runways are now part of an airport, instead of a separate list
- Runways are no longer represented as a boring struct, but as a class
of their own.
-Improved runway access to unify various runway access methods.
CameraGroup supports cameras opened in different windows or in the
same window, with flexible view and perspective specification.
Clean up mouse click handling via osgViewer. Don't let any camera
"have focus;" this forces events to be reported in window coordinates
and simplifies life. Don't use the osgViewer::View::requestWarpPointer
method; instead use our own code which only deals with window
coordinates.
Make glut and sdl versions work with CameraGroup too.
I thought that this would fix the "black hole in the sky" problem,
which turned out to be caused by an OpenSceneGraph bug. Nevertheless
it is a simplification.
* experimental clean-up / reduction on two of the FG headers:
(I'm going to await feedback on the developers list before doing more of
these, to avoiding going over files multiple times, but in principle it
seems pretty straightforward.)
* final fixes for SG_USING_STD removal
- this exposed a bizarre issue on Mac where dragging in <AGL/agl.h> in
extensions.hxx was pulling in all of Carbon to the global namespace
- very scary. As a result, I now need to explicitly include CoreFoundation
in fg_init.cxx.
- change SG_USING_STD(x) to using std::x
SimGear change. It changes all the SG_xxxx to be the 'real' includes, and gets
rid of many #ifdef SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES. As an added bonus, rather than
replacing 'SG_USING_NAMESPACE(std)' with 'using namespace std', I just fixed
the small number of places to use std:: explicitly. So we're no longer polluting
the global namespace with the entire contents of std, in many cases.
There is one more 'mechanical' change to come - getting rid of SG_USING_STD(X),
but I want to keep that separate from everything else. (There's another
mechnical change, replacing <math.h> with <cmath> and so on *everywhere*, but
one step at a time)
PLETE_FUNCTIONAL from SimGear and FlightGear.
As a result, SG_HAVE_STD_INCLUDES is now *always* set, so I will get the boring
fixes for that done, but separately. I'm still auditing the other things in comp
ilers.h - there's a lot that can die now BORLAND is gone.
- remove the OSX_BUNDLE crap *I* introduced years ago - we're always a a bun
dle on Mac now.
- fix up the default fg-root on Mac to be FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources/
data - i.e the location used by the macflightgear.org distro, and indeed the obv
ious 'correct' location. Not sure why I didn't use that in the first place, back
in the day.
- remove the CPSForegroundEnable hack. For one thing, we're a bundle and don
't need it, and for another, osgViewer on Mac does the same logic using a newer,
public API rather than a hack into the OS.
- remove the strange logic for doing fgOSInit 'early' (in bootstrap rather t
han main) when running from the command line on Mac; again this is obsolete, and
no one seems to know why it was ever necessary. I guess it was an interaction w
ith SDL when running without a bundle.
- (not Mac related) remove obsolete code bracketed by ENABLE_PLIB_JOYSTICK a
nd USE_GLIDE (neither of which are ever set, even from config.h that I can see)
in main.cxx
Various other patches that have been lingering around for a while:
* Moved trafficcontrol.[ch]xx from the Airports directory to ATC, where
it really belongs.
* AI aircraft will request startup clearance, and ground control will
approve.
* Starting AI Aircraft will be pushed back to a predefined holding point
on the ground network, and wait a while before taxiing out to the runway
- drop unused parts (MouseQuat/GuiQuat)
- move "old-reinit-dialog" fgcommand to fg_command.cxx under new name
"reset" for now. (May later get merged with fgcommand "reinit".)
- move reInit() to fg_init.cxx: This was used by Shift-Esc and
Menu->File-Reset (via fgcommand "old-reinit-dialog"). We have already
a similar function fgReInitSubsystems() in fg_init.cxx, so these two
functions will probably get merged later.)
- don't allow to do that from any XML file. This is to prevent malign
code from writing a new fg-home in ~/.fgfs/autosave.xml or other files
in ~/.fgfs/.
After the changes that moved the GUI and HUD to a slave camera, the
texture-based fonts wouldn't display. The main fixes here are making
sure that the TXF textures are all loaded into the font cache early,
and explicitly setting the active texture unit in the GUI / HUD
drawImplementation.
Switch to defining PU_USE_NONE and providing our own callback
functions to pui for "get window" and "get window size." A new
WindowSystemAdapter class assigns ID numbers to windows for the
purpose of identifying them to plib; the window size can be extracted
from the osg::GraphicsContext class in all the different
implementations (osgViewer, glut, sdl).
Implement a GraphicsContextOperation that runs code in a particular
graphics context, perhaps in another thread, and provides an
isFinished() method to test if the operation has finished. This allows
us to initialize plib PUI properly if there are multiple graphics
contexts without using fgMakeCurrent(). fgMakeCurrent() can't work in
multi-threaded OSG configurations.
Eliminate fgMakeCurrent() and all its uses, either by using
GraphicsContextOperation or by seeing that it is not necessary.
Attach the GUI camera as a slave camera.
Don't manipulate the OSG state in the drawImplementation() functions
for SGHUDAndPanelDrawable and SGPuDrawable; it's not needed.
on the '*'-key, but allow to cycle it by setting
/sim/rendering/on-screen-statistics to "true"
- move that function to the Debug menu (no more key assigned!)
- add "print-statistics" menu entry
From Till:
i started the project at the end of february with a simple idea: move all
3d-model loading to the DatabasePager-thread. my first attempts looked
promising, though they were a little too optimistic (or naive?). the patch
has evolved a lot since.
currently it does the following things:
1. revive SGModelLib, move functions for xml-model-loading there
2. replace all calls to sgLoad3dModel with calls to either
SGModelLib::loadModel() or SGModelLib::loadPagedModel()
almost all models will be loaded by the DatabasePager. the few exceptions are:
your own plane, shared models in scenery, random objects, AIBallistic models.
3. simplify mode-loading functions (avoid passing around fg_root)
4. avoid supurious MatrixTransform nodes in loaded models
5. fix some memory leaks
$ fgfs --version
2.0pre-20080314
FG_ROOT=/usr/local/share/FlightGear
FG_HOME=/home/foo/.fgfs
... assuming that VERSION in config.h is "2.0pre-20080314". Which it isn't.
Instead it's "1.0.0" since yesterday, and was "0.9.10" before that. This
has yet to be discussed, and I'll add the option to options.xml later.
Reindent to Stroustrup style.
Make FGPrecipitationMgr an SGSubsystem and remove all references to it
in main.cxx and renderer.cxx.
Use SGGeod::makeZUpFrame instead of a private function in
tileentry.cxx. Rewrite that function, WorldCoordinate, to use
makeZUpFrame too.
Makes it possible to start at a parking location defined in the AI/Airports/*/parking.xml files, using the parkpos command line option.
Note that the name to pass is the concatenation of the "name" and "number" fields in the xml.
This allows Nasal managed views thanks to the proximity of the
event manager (which executes Nasal loops). The io manager must
come after the view manager to avoid jitter in network replay.
This also fixes distortion weirdness in the osgviewer version. That
was caused by osg::GraphicsContext getting in the act on resize events
and adding its own scaling to the projectionOffset of slave cameras!
The LOD far range on the tile entry scenegraph node was initialized to
0. This meant that any traverals of active children that happened
before the tile manager updated the node would ignore the node
altogether. Among these is the groundcache traversal which was failing
at startup even though scenery was loaded.
Also added a function to dump scene graph nodes to files; very handy
in gdb.
Make an OSG file reader for .stg files.
New class flightgear::SceneryPager, which is a subclass
osg::DatabasePager to handle explicit delete requests.
Modify FGNewCache, FGTileEntry, and FGTileManager to use
SceneryPager. Mostly this involved removing the queues that talked to
FGTileLoader.
Calculate accurate tile timestamps from the time they are traversed in
the cull stage (which means that they are visible) instead of updating
them periodically.
Replace tile entry transform and range node with one LOD node
are not available out-of-the-box on all systems and keyboards, and should
therefore not be used in files committed to CVS. This makes them well
suited for local key bindings, as they aren't likely to get overwritten

and GLUT supports neither.

When the same change is made for glut, much of render.cxx can be deleted.
file. Possible uses of this functionality could include converting the
model to some other format or coordinate system for use in some other
visualization or simulation.
This is required to make sure the same letter key gets released,
which got the press event. (After Ctrl-press -> a-press -> Ctrl-release
a-release we want the Ctrl-a binding released, not the a binding.)
- add key listener interface for direct key access from Nasal space
This removes some jitter in cases where Nasal is used to set up view
parameters from FDM data, such as position and orientation. (The event
subsystem handles Nasal's settimer() calls.)
This was correct in the old repository and in revision 1.1 of the new,

"I have been investigating the Concorde IVSI problem. I came to the
conclusion that the trouble is that the environment altitude and thus
the pressure (which is calculated from that) is lagging by 1 frame.
Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but the IVSI calculates rate of
change and it will use the new dt with the old value difference,
thereby arriving at bad results if dt changes (and it does)."

Based on a suggested patch from Stuart Buchanan
On most Unix platforms like FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX (AIX is even worse)
- just not on Linux - the linker wants to know about _all_ required
libraries. So even if a shared library "libosgViewer" itself is linked
against "libosgGA" and "libosgText", you still have to name these in
order to build an "fgfs" binary.
Currently, other libraries like "-losgDB" and "-losgUtil" are
explicitly mentioned on the "fgfs" linker command, but "-losgGA" and
"-losgText" are not. This simple patch lets the linker honour
everything that's required
"This patch fixes the use of the keypad with numlock in the osgViewer

"This also restores the handling of resize events while trying to stay

where type is one of string (default), double, float, long, int, bool
Using only the first letter works, too.
--prop:foo=123 ... sets property foo to string 123 (old behavior)
--prop:string:foo=123 ... verbose version of above
--prop:s:foo=123 ... slightly less verbose version of above
--prop:bool:foo=1 ... makes property a bool of value 'true'
I hope this isn't considered a silly gimmick. I need this often and maybe
other developers do, too. It's useful in cases where the difference really
matters. if (getprop("/foo")), for instance, is TRUE even when the property
contains string "false", as all strings are TRUE.
/sim/screneryloaded-override was "true". At least one subsystem (od_gauge)
waits for /sim/sceneryloaded to bypass CPU intensive code until the scenery
is up. This broke e.g. the RTT-radar when using /sim/screneryloaded-override
--prop:sim/sceneryloaded-override=true has the effect that fgfs
doesn't show the splash screen until the scenery is loaded, but shows
the OTW view (scenery/aircraft) at the earliest possible moment. This is
useful for developers who often need to run fgfs only to check some minor
detail, while not caring about stuttering caused by scenery loading.
simple SG_LOG instead. The user didn't call the fgcommand, so why should
s/he be bothered with that? And the actually caller of the command gets a
return value and can pop up a dialog if it thinks it's necessary.
Why /sim/fg-current at all? Because we have a file selector dialog
(still unfinished), and one might like to start it from the current
directory, to find saved flights/screenshots/whatever.

by compiling fgfs/sg without exception support (unlikely) or linking

- handle const char * exceptions
- props is easy to mix up with the --prop option (for setting properties)
- the name is unspecific and inconsistent: other option names describe
the protocol -- the way to get the properties. How is, for example,
--httpd less about prop(ertie)s?
- two identical options easily confuse people, as can be seen in The
FlightGear Manual, where --telnet and --props were described differently
/sim/view[*] that it finds. It's not only unnecessary that view definitions
have subsequent indices, but aircraft are now *requested* to use indices
100++. /sim/view[0] .. /sim/view[99] are reserved for the system. (Not
that we'd ever need that many, This is just a convention, it's nowhere
hard-coded.)

because nasal's f_interpolate() may be called in Nasal at times when the
GENERAL subsystem group is being deconstructed; access it by addressing
the group directly, as using globals->get_subsystem() does then not
work any more then; yeah, it's all for a rare border case ... :-)
NasalSys.cxx more robust instead. The reason for the crash was that during
fgfs shutdown destroyed subsystems (GENERAL group) still need Nasal access
(for AI Model destruction listeners), but at that point globals->get_subsystem()
can't even deliver the "nasal" subsystem (INIT group). One way to solve that
problem would have been to replace globals->get_subsystem("nasal") by
globals->get_subsystem_mgr()->get_group(SGSubsystemMgr::INIT)->get_subsystem("nasal"),
but Andy decided to store a pointer to the active "nasal" subsysten in
NasalSys.cxx instead, as the "nasal" subsystem needs to be accessed in
every single Nasal extension function, and multiple "nasal" subsystems are
out of the question, anyway.
we need to explicitly destroy that here, too, so that it has guaranteed
access to the Nasal subsystem. Otherwise we get a segfault on exit. When
the next subsystem needs this special treatement (radar?), we should
introduce a new subsystem group (in addition to INIT and GENERAL)
"FATAL: PUI: No Live Interface! Forgot to call puInit ?"
We shouldn't use the splash progress message before guiInit().
Leave the "idle_state" step for now, to keep the similarity
with fg/plib as big as possible. This can be dropped later.
Patch to enable atc chatter (and any other arbitrary "message" audio file)

Generally you want point sprites for performance reasons when enhanced runway
lighting (and smooth points) are activated. Most hardware doesn't
accelerate the rendering of standard smooth points, so without point sprites
you will kill your night time performance if you turn on enhanced runway
lighting.
Note that enhanced runway lighting "breaks" our clever scheme to make the
runway lighting brightness vary with the relative view angle. This means
with enhanced lighting on, all lights are equally bright no matter what
direction you view them from. So perpendicular runways are just as bright
as runways you are directly lined up with (when enhanced runway lighthing
is activated.)
You can revert to the original lighting scheme by turning off enhance runway
lights, turning off distance-attenuation, and turning off point-sprites in
the rendering options menu.
and "latitude-offset" should not use a precalculated value of warp.
2) Since the values of cur_time and crrGMT are identical in the current
version of the SGTime class, the calculations of the "system", "gmt", and
"latitude" are re-evaluated and updated where necessary.
I attach 2 new files and a diff file for the associated changes to add a
“fluxgate compass†to the instrument inventory. Whist this outputs
essentially the same data as /orientation/heading-magnetic-deg, it has to
be powered, and can be made to fail. I also followed Roy’s suggestion to
generate the error properties for this instrument here rather than in
xmlauto.xml.
When this instrument is included in cvs, I intend to use it in the Hunter,
A4F Seahawk and KC135. After a bit more research, it might be appropriate
for the Spitfire and Hurricane as well. AJ would also like to use it for his
Lightning model.
Thanks to tied functions, this is only executed when the node is read. This
will be done by the old & new HUD code, the latter of which won't have a
special lon/lat mode at all. Instead it will be regular labels that point
to these properties for displaying lon/lat.
I would have liked to avoid the duplication of code (lon and lat being
basically the same thing), and to avoid using static buffers and all, but
... if anyone wants to make it prettier, go ahead.
The format is controlled by /sim/lon-lat-format (will be changed if I
find a better place).
are taken down by the C++ runtime environment. This will later be done
with runlevels. Why would we want to run nasal code in subsystem
destructors? We don't really. But some data structures may use nasal,
which are normally created/destroyed during runtime. And these will
also be destroyed at fgfs exit. In the past things like these didn't
happen, because someone had disabled all subsystem destructors ...

into the <color> group, but that's because on HUD color changes a whole

two almost identical functions for these methods. It only forces to repeat
the redundancy for every small change to either.

but got changed so that Nasal listeners wouldn't be triggered needlessly.
Doesn't make sense, though, as Nasal will never be available before the
video size is set, and it prevents the window interface from setting the
startup size.)
Here is one patch that to make FlightGear run without floating point
exceptions on FreeBSD. Apparently, if we do not ignore floating point
exceptions per this patch, there is some occasional condition where the
nvidia driver is involved in delivering spurious floating point exceptions
to the fgfs process, causing it to core-dump occasionally without the patch.
With only this patch, FlightGear will compile and run properly on
FreeBSD 6.X as long as the nvidia accelerated driver is installed,
modulo proper switches to the SimGear and FlightGear configure script
executions.
Again, kudos to your team for the great work on the big release
push; it is super to see things come together like this!
a race condition ending in warping twice and having huge increments for the
second warp.
I am not aware of such a flush function in glut. So we emulate that by
ignoring mouse move events between a warp mouse and the next frame.
That should make glut behavour aequivalent to sdl behavour.

make the MSVC compilation possible. Rearrange base package directories.
This patch makes use of the vectors now available in simgear with that past
patch. And using that it simplyfies the carrier code somehow.
- Small additional factory's to the quaternion code are done in the simgear
part. Also more explicit unit names in the factory functions.
- The flightgear part makes use of them and simplyfies some computations
especially in the carrier code.
- The data part fixes the coordinate frames I used for the park positions in
the carrier to match the usual ones. I believed that I had done so, but it
was definitly different. Also there are more parking positions avaliable now.
The new multiplayer patch with an extension to transmit some properties with
the base package. The properties are transmitted in a way that will not
immediately brake the packet format if we need new ones.
Even if the maxmimum number needs to be limited somehow, that format might
work well until we have an improoved packet format which is even more compact
and that does not require to retransmit redundant information with each
packet.
That part is relatively fresh and based on that what Oliver provides on his
multiplayer server web page.
The properties are transferred to the client and I have modified the seahawks
rudder animation property to use a relative property path to verify that it
works appart from the fact that you can see it changing in the property
browser.
The movement is still a bit jerky, but that can be fixed/tuned later without
again braking the packet format.
the mouse pointer to a new position. Otherwise it can happen that the new
position is first set, but then come a few still unprocessed events for the
old position. This makes ugly jumps in mouse view mode.

This patch removes some useless indirection when creating AIModels. It
obsolets AIScenario*.
AIEntities are just an intermediate copy of an other intermediate copy of an
xml file on the way from the ai scenario configuration file to the AIModels.
As such the AImodels can now be created directly from the property tree read
from the scenario file.
This reduces the amount of work needed to add an other AIModel and reduces the
amount of copy operations done during initialization.
It also moves internal knowledge of special AI models into these special AI
models class instead of spreading that into the whole AIModel subdirectory
which in turn enables to use carrier internal data structures for carrier
internal data ...
Also some unused variables are removed from the AIModel classes.
I believe that there are still more of them, but that is what I stumbled
accross ...
Tested, like the other splitouts these days in a seperate tree and using the
autopilot for some time, and in this case with a carrier start ...
