The problem was that the change to make FGScenery a standard subsystem caused
the particle OSG group to no longer be inserted into the scene graph. The
solution was to convert the particle group to be set up as a standard branch of
the scene graph, alongside the terrain, models, aircraft, and interior branches.
The particle system is now set up as part of the init() subsystem function call,
so it is compatible with the new subsystem design.
This follows from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.games.flightgear.devel/78650 and
resolves the sign bug https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/1778/ .
Combined with a matching change to FGData, this changes the HUD formats from the
current set of 3 (note that the text in brackets is not shown in the HUD
preferences PUI dialog, but is show here for reference):
0) Decimal degrees (37.618890N -122.375000W)
1) Degrees, minutes (37*37.133N -122*22.500W)
2) Degrees, minutes, seconds (37*37 08.0 N -122*22 30.0 W)
to (here the text in brackets will be shown in the PUI dialog):
0) DDD format (37.618890N 122.375000W)
1) DMM format (37*37.133'N 122*22.500'W)
2) DMS format (37*37'08.0"N 122*22'30.0"W)
3) Signed DDD format (37.618890 -122.375000)
4) Signed DMM format (37*37.133' -122*22.500')
5) Signed DMS format (37*37'08.0" -122*22'30.0")
6) Zero padded DDD (51.477500N 000.461389W)
7) Zero padded DMM (51*28.650'N 000*27.683'W)
8) Zero padded DMS (51*28'39.0"N 000*27'41.0"W)
9) Trinity House Navigation (51* 28'.650N 000* 27'.683W)
- Use setlocale() to ensure consistent handling of locales and
string handling irrespective of whether or not QCoreApplication
is invoked. Forces a the C locale for numerics and collation,
since many pieces of FG assume this.
- add a button to the main dialog, explaining how to adjust the
fg-root path via the GUI
- tweak the GUI flow to support explicitly changing the path even
when the default path is acceptable.
Under some conditions on my system
aircraft_paths.begin() was equal to scenery_paths.end()
This resulted in neither of them being added to read_allowed_paths
followed by failure to load Nasal scripts from the aircraft directory.
This might happen, if scenery_paths gets allocated just before aircraft_paths
in memory.
Better loop across the desired lists instead of using fancy tricks with
the iterator.
Avoid intermittent race conditions on shutdown when the OSG
pager/Db thread is running. Ensure the OSG threads are stopped before
we start tearing down any scene graph nodes.
- remove some global headers from AI headers, to avoid pollution
- change how ATC owns the ‘player’ FGAIAircraft so reset works
- ensure AIAircraft controllers are cleared on unbind for reset
This is for the FGProperties::getLongitudeString() and
FGProperties::getLatitudeString() functions. The previous algorithm was to
round the degrees up by the smallest fraction required to prevent a round up to
60 minutes or seconds, and then round down the final minutes or seconds by the
same fraction. The new algorithm is to detect if the final minute or seconds
will be rounded to 60 by the string formatting and, if so, the higher unit
(degrees or minutes) is incremented by one, and the lower unit decremented by
60.
Drop fgNormalizePath, use realpath() only
As this makes it accept relative paths, always use the returned
(absolute) version for the actual file operation to avoid check-to-use
races, or where this is not possible (NasalSGPath) explicitly reject
relative paths
Fix: do_save is a write, not a read
* Before setting /sim/aircraft-dir from the --aircraft-dir option,
canonicalize its value with SGPath::realpath() as is already done in
FGGlobals::append_aircraft_path() for the paths given with --fg-aircraft
or via the FG_AIRCRAFT environment variable.
* This fixes a bug when --aircraft-dir is used, due to the fact that
fgValidatePath() canonicalizes its 'path' argument before matching it
against the allowed patterns, and therefore will not validate paths
under the directory specified with --aircraft-dir if this directory has
been given in a non-canonical form by the user (e.g., containing at
least one symlink component).
* This fix does not lower security: the path which is canonicalized has
been explicitely given by the user. This operation is already done for
all paths specified with --fg-aircraft or via the FG_AIRCRAFT
environment variable, via Options::initPaths() which calls
FGGlobals::append_aircraft_paths().
* To reproduce the bug, create a symlink (e.g., /tmp/aircrafts) to a
directory suitable for --fg-aircraft, then run:
fgfs ... --fg-aircraft=/tmp/aircrafts \
--aircraft-dir=/tmp/aircrafts/SenecaII --aircraft=SenecaII
This will trigger many failures such as:
loadxml: reading '/tmp/aircrafts/SenecaII/Dialogs/registration.xml'
denied (unauthorized directory - authorization no longer follows
symlinks; to authorize reading additional directories, add them to
--fg-aircraft)
(from do_load_xml_to_proptree() in flightgear/src/Main/fg_commands.cxx)
I have also tested this with the ec130b4 and the 777-200ER. Same
problem, same fix.
* If one has the same aircraft in several aircraft directories,
FlightGear should not mix resources from the various aircraft
directories. For instance, if one starts FG with:
--fg-aircraft=/my/personal/dir:/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft
and one has in /my/personal/dir/ec130 a clone of the upstream
developer repo, FlightGear should use either the upstream version from
/my/personal/dir/ec130 or the FGAddon version from
/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft/ec130, but not some strange, untested hybrid
of both.
* This commit makes sure that when the looked-up resource starts with
Aircraft/<ac>, where <ac> is the current aircraft name [last component
of aircraftDir = fgGetString("/sim/aircraft-dir")], then
AircraftResourceProvider::resolve() doesn't search other aircraft
directories if the resource isn't found under 'aircraftDir'.
* To reproduce the bug before this commit, you may add the following
code (there is nothing specific about the SenecaII here, it's just the
aircraft I used for testing):
var file_path = resolvepath("Aircraft/SenecaII/flo-test");
if (file_path != "")
gui.popupTip("flo-test found", 2);
else
gui.popupTip("flo-test not found", 2);
in a keyboard binding for the SenecaII (for instance; you may use the
F11 binding that otherwise only prints a short message). You should
add this to the SenecaII/SenecaII-base.xml file *that will be loaded
by FlightGear*, let's say the one under /my/personal/dir in the
example above (beware of the <path-cache> in autosave_X_Y.xml). Then,
by creating or removing a file named "flo-test" in the SenecaII
subdirectory of other aircraft dirs (for instance,
/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft in the example above), you can see that the
behavior of the loaded aircraft is influenced by the contents of
unrelated versions of the same aircraft that might be present in other
aircraft dirs (e.g., loaded /my/personal/dir/SenecaII influenced by
/path/to/fgaddon/Aircraft/SenecaII).
* Aircrafts loading resources using paths relative to the current
aircraft directory (e.g., with 'resolvepath("flo-test")') are not
affected by this kind of problem, because this scheme is handled by
CurrentAircraftDirProvider, which does not exhibit this bug.
negative latitude/longitude coordinates resulted in negative WEST/
SOUTH coordinates for the default format 0 (zero).
This should be now fixed so that
+12.3 gets formatted as 12.3N/E
-12.3 gets formatted as 12.3S/W

This messy approach is to minimise changes during freeze; for 3.7,
I plan to make realpath() handle non-existent files as "realpath
they would have if created now" and get rid of fgNormalizePath
This is insecure because it always (not just on Windows) converts
\ to / before .. checking. Either use the path it returns (as in
f_open()) or use an SGPath (where this conversion is already done)
Only a minor problem because the affected functions are limited to
the .sav file type
While mostly harmless since you're exiting anyway, it's an annoying
distraction when the real problem is "unexpected exit" (e.g.
https://bugs.debian.org/763285 ), and blocks testing with LeakSanitizer
The old Mac launcher doesn’t work on Yosemite, add a tiny
Qt-based launcher inside the main process (no need to fork /
exec) which runs before the OSG window is created.
Will be merged for 3.4, hopefully with no impact on other
platforms.
Unfortunately we can’t drop loaded ones, since the in-memory structures don’t have ref-counting, and we don’t
know what AI plans may be referencing them.
Adds new option --load-tape=foobar to load a flight recorder
tape from the command line. Loads foobar.fgtape from the
directory specified in /sim/replay/tape-directory and starts
replay.
- /sim/aircraft can be set to package ID, including qualified
package ID. If not matching package is found, falls back to
traditional search of fg-aircraft for -set.xml files
By default, if the system version exists and can be used,
then it will be used. Otherwise, the local version will be used
Original patch by Saikrishna Arcot via

slightly modified
Fixes confusing startup behaviour with malformed args, when
an argument accidentally contains a space (e.g. a park-pos or
protocol desc). In this case we treat the parts after the space as an XML config file name. When we can't find this file, we
completely abandon options setup, which causes many downstream
errors.
Change the behaviour so we warn in this case, but carry on with normal startup.
This is too destructive for many established things, so revert it.
Instead, make the FDM shell save /fdm state on postinit(), and
restore it on re-init (which reposition invokes).
- Not compiled by default, nor hooked up to anything yet.
- Both libraries licensed under modified BSD license.
- Added top-level CMake file for both, to create a plain static
library for each.
- use old-style reset as the basis for a lightweight 'reposition' command. This does not restore state, or reset
time management, but does reset the FDM and re-finalize position.
* make --enable-fpe work on Linux and MSVC
* standardise the code paths for different platforms
* add an argument finding helper to Options
(This is a basic cleanup, contributions from people with
more experience in this area are welcome)
- no dependency on libJpeg or Simgear
- no duplicate rendering of the scene (uses a draw callback)
- supports other image types, eg PNG
- threaded so doesn't block the main loop ever
This makes the behaviour when FGRun (or other GUI launchers)
send bad options much more explicable. Non Windows/Mac systems
get an SG_ALERT on the console as before.
Adapt to corresponding SG change to make SGMaterialLib be ref-counted,
and have the 'reload-materials' command notify the tile-manager of this,
so it can update the options struct it passes to new tiles.
Warn (but do not require, since people would probably complain) when
added paths do not contain an Aircraft subdir. When people specify
a path which ends in /Aircraft, use the parent directory.
- borrow some code from the new reset codepath to cleanly stop the
OSG pager thread during normal shutdown. Avoids a race-condition
destroying various structures the pager thread might be modifying.
This was previously done only if Terrasync was on, but this made
it impossible to use the GUI dialog to turn it on for the first
time in a fresh install
Had to add this to FGGlobals, since it needs to be cleaned up
alongside the sound manager (which ideally it would be owned by,
but that's a change for another day)
Write PID file to FG_HOME, use this to detect multiple launches.
When this situation is detected, set a marker property and place various
objects into read-only mode, such as the NavCache and TerraSync.
PID file is created using open+unlink semantics on POSIX, and
DELETE_ON_CLOSE on Windows, so it will be removed when fgfs exits,
even if killed or crashes.
This allows us to display a platform-native dialog for problems
which occur early in startup (before we can show a PUI/Canvas dialog).
In particular this improves feedback where FG_HOME, FG_DATA or
aircraft selection is wrong, all of which happen very early in startup.
Requesting 16-bit is probably doing more harm than good on modern
hardware. Command line switch to change works as before.
Also update the default window size, although this is actually
set by preferences.xml
- default to SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS (we can still AllocConsole if needed)
- add --console option to get a console on Windows
- ensure --show-aircraft and --help modes show the console automatically.
- restore-defaults kills the nav cache, terra-sync cache
- new ignore-autosave option bypasses autosave.xml and leaves it
untouched (does not over-write on exit)
Replace many lingering calls to exit() from the code,
replacing most with exception throws, which can be
caught by the existing mechanisms.
Update the option-parsing code to return an explicit
value indicating what to do (e.g., exit status to return
to the shell).
Many light aircraft include GPS loggers capable of recording the flight
path using IGC records. Lots of third party utilities are available to
analyze, process and convert igc files.
Usage: "fgfs --igc=file,out,1,OutputFile.igc"
- Enable the terrasync persistent cache
- Ensure terraysync scenery dirs exist before NavCache init, so the paths are stable
- Notify TerraSync on reposition, so we sync the full 3x3 set of tiles.
Move sqlite source to a separate location, and build with
an intermediate library target. This permits us to set compile options
easier, including an important one, NDEBUG, which improves performance.
Sqlite 3.8.0.2 also includes an updated query planner which may improve
some queries, to be tested.
If you want a scenario in a particular session of the sim, ask for
it on the command line / config files, or enable in the GUI.
Note if you had previously 'sticky' scenarios in your autosave.xml, you
will still get them until you clean your autosave, or disable them in
the GUI.
Respect the user's language selection in the system settings, and try those languages in turn. If a language is explicitly specified, try that first regardless.
Allow for advanced animations using easing functions and adapters
for interpolating specific property types (eg. CSS colors).
Old behavior should not have changed.
This adds the framework for platform cursor implementations; Windows and X11 to be done.
It also extend the mouse-input code to generate hover events suitable for driving tooltips.
Note there should be no visible functionality change from this commit, since everything
is inactive until fgdata changes are made.
