222446df29 Replace the data/Airports/basic.dat.gz and data/Airports/runways.dat.gz with
a single apt.dat.gz file which is in the native X-Plane format.

To do this I wrote a front end loader than builds the airport and runway
list.  Some of the changes I needed to make had a cascading effect, so there
are minor naming changes scattered throughout the code.

I have a small update which fixes the algorythm used for marking solid
surfaces for some cases where some branch nodes carry the object names I had
expected in the leaf nodes.
That will also introduce the possibility to mark whole subtrees from the
scenegraph solid.

The attached patch allows to put comments in *.stg files[1]. Lines with
# in the first column (and only there!) are skipped. This has no effect
on overall performance, but has two advantages:

A) possibility to temporarily comment out objects during scenery design,
   (or to put other remarks there);

B) possibility to put marks like "# BEGIN" and "# END" there that allow
   automated merging of local landmarks etc.

--

[1] actually, comments are possible now, too. But they aren't explicitly
    handled and fgfs tries to parse words in "comments" piece by piece. Ugly!

[2] Idea by Chris METZLER, that I make already use of. I have a local
    scenery dir for some tiles with extra objects, such as VOR/DME for
    all of Austria. These are surrounded by "# BEGIN LOCAL" and "# END LOCAL",
    and today I was able to merge the new 0.9.7 scenery with my locally
    changed files.   :-)

634e79353f Roy Vegard Ovesen:
I've finished the emigration of the radiostack, and I've also removed it
completely. It turned out that the comm radio is completely implemented in
the ATC subsystem. I've changed the affected ATC files to point
to /instrumentation/com, but I guess that the maintainer of the ATC code
should decide wether to make it configureable, and how.

I also had to change some files in Network and Main. The changes in network
should be obvious, but the changes in Main were a bit suspect. The files
included radiostack.hxx, but they weren't directly depending on
radiostack-hxx. They were depending on other files that were included by
radiostack.hxx. I got it to compile, but I'm not sure if I included the
correct directly depending file.

For the data directory I changed every occurrence of /radios/
with /instrumentation/ with this simple one-liner that I found on the net:

find -name '*.xml' -type f | xargs perl -pi -e
's/\/radios\//\/instrumentation\//g'

Instead of me sending all the files that got changed by this I suggest that
you execute the one-liner yourself. Of course I can not guarantee that this
will work perfectly, but I considered hand editing to be not an option (I'm
lazy). I don't want to test every aircraft to see if everything still works,
I think it's better to wait and see if anyone complaints about broken nav
radios/instruments.

This is a sub-system which can be added to any carrier.

These files add a functioning Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS).
The orange/red 'source' lights are illuminated according to the position of
the pilot's eye above/below the 3.5 deg glide slope. The apparent position
of the source light relative to the fixed green datum lights allow the pilot
to 'fly the meatball'. The green 'cut' lights flash when the pilot's eye is
below the coverage of the lowest (red) source light.

TODO - add rules for the operation of the wave-off lights.

fee003e8cc Melchior FRANZ:
I understand that the new hud/runway feature is still very experimental,
and that the search criteria for the active runway don't necessarily make
much sense. (We are searching for a runway on /sim/presets/airport-id
that matches the current wind direction best, and not the tuned in ILS
runway or something!)

Anyway: the new hud code completely denies the possibility of
globals->get_runways()->search() not finding a runway and returning false.
There's always a runway found at KSFO, but not so at e.g. LOXL, in which
case we are handing garbage over to sg_geodesy.cxx and find ourselves
caught in an endless loop in geo_direct_wgs_84().

91ae7ce82a Add a *really* crude model of ITT, Oil Temp, and Oil Pressure. This
currently just returns a lagged normalized value in the range of 0-1 that
is proportional to N1.  It's up to the engine gauge to scale to the right
range.  This is for lack of a real model of these items so we can have
something to drive the engine gauges.

I have now split out the ground cache functions into src/FDM/groundcache.[ch]xx
Attached are the two files and the patch to integrate that cache into
FGInterface.

The code is nowhere used at the moment, the fdm's need to be updated to use
that ground cache. The JSBSim-dropin.tar.gz from Martins ftp server does this
for example.

The carrier's scenegraph is not yet processed to be visible for ground
intersection testing. So the only benefit up to now is that the api is set
up. Using this I can put the changes to make JSBSim work with that into
JSBSim's cvs. Also I aim to provide Andy a patch to make use of that with
YASim.

62df58d4f8 I have added Aaron Wilson's virtual 3d runway projection to the HUD.
Aaron says:

I just got the virtual runway hud projection working on all views and
2D & 3D HUDs.  It is working awesome(see below).  I have attached every
file that was modified (hud.hxx, hud.cxx, and the default.xml for the hud)
and every file that was added (hud_rwy.cxx and runwayinstr.xml).

Just a quick overview of how the instrument works.

The virtual runway is projected by getting the "cockpit view" of the
runway in 3D and projecting the points on to the 2D HUD.  Therefore, the
virtual runway will be displayed the same in every view.  For example,
you can land an aircraft from the "Tower View" by flying the HUD.  Also
if you're in "Cockpit View" and it is centered then the virtual runway
lines will perfectly outline the actual runway.  I am getting the active
runway via the wind like done in the ATC classes, which may need changed.
Also, I made the assumption the view 0, in view manager, is always the
cockpit view, which may need changed as well.

The runway configuration file will allow you to specify a center offset
(x,y) and a bounding box (width,height).  You can also configure the line
stipple pattern for the outside and the center line.  For instance, if
you wanted a 0xFAFA pattern, then specify 64250 as the value.  If you
want a solid line, you can specify -1 or 65535 (0xFFFF) and zero will
turn the line off.  It also draws a runway indication arrow when the
runway is not in the HUD or it can be drawn all the time if arrow_always
is true.  The arrow will point in the direction of the runway (2D) by
rotating around the center  at a radius of arrow_radius.  If you wish to
turn the arrow off, you must set the arrow_scale <=0.  The arrow really
should be 3D arrow that points to the runway (or points in the direction
of the aircraft-to-runway vector).

Add some controls required for carrier operations:

/controls/gear/launchbar

should be 1.0 if the launchbar is lowered, that means the aircraft should now
be arrested at the catapult.

/controls/gear/catapult-launch-cmd

Should be set to 1.0 when the aircraft should be launched from tha catapult.

3c0ab43b43 Mathias Fröhlich:
The moving ai models will jump around realtive to the moving aircraft model.
I can see that with the carrier but others have noticed that too with ai
aircraft before.
The reason is that all SGSystems are called with a dt value which is not
necessarily a multiple of 1/hz.
In contrast, most FDM's use the _calc_multiloop function from FGInterface
which forces the time update to be a multiple of 1/hz for the FDM aircraft.
As a result, in the worst case, the FDM aircraft has moved nearly 1/hz seconds
further than the rest of flightgear (1/120sec*300kts that is about 1.3m).
That patch forces the time update to be a multiple of 1/hz.
