Waypoint objects used in Nasal code can now return their airport,
runway or navaid object (Nasal ghost). More precisely:
- if waypoint 'wpt' was made from an airport object[1], then
'wpt.airport' is this airport object;
- if waypoint 'wpt' was made from a runway object[2], then
'wpt.runway' is this runway object, and 'wpt.airport' is the
airport containing that runway;
- if waypoint 'wpt' was made from a navaid object[3], then
'wpt.navaid' is this navaid object.
When one of the three properties 'airport', 'runway', and 'navaid' is
not applicable to a given waypoint due to the type of the underlying
FGPositioned, its value is nil.
The code for these properties was already mostly there, but
unreachable from Nasal.
[1] For instance, with createWPFrom(airportinfo("LOWI"))
[2] For instance, with createWPFrom(airportinfo("LOWI").runway("26"))
[3] For instance, with:
var apt = airportinfo("LOWI");
var navaid = findNavaidByFrequencyMHz(apt, 109.7);
var navaidWpt = createWPFrom(navaid);
