In the past core was always loading one simulator plugin by default.
This has changed recently with the listeners. So m_simulator is not
guaranteed to be valid.
A proper fix in the future is to not even call them. At the moment they
are hard wired to network.
* Removed obsolete signal from IContextSimulator
* Removed connectToSimulator() method from IContextSimulator as it is no
longer relevant
* CSimulatorComponent updates automatically when simulator disconnects
* FS9 & FSX drivers update (including FSCommon)
To provide maximum flexibility, the simulator info is specified by each
plugin in the JSON metadata file.
* Renamed SCimulatorInfo to CSimulatorPluginInfo
* Removed pre-defined simulator infos (UnspecifiedSim, FSX, etc)
* CContextSimulator keeps track of which plugin is loaded and its info
* QSignalMapper keeps track of which listener emitted the simulatorStared() signal
* CSimulatorPluginInfo contains name, simulator name and description
* TODO: GUI part
* TODO: CTestFsCommon
* The FS9 host is started in the Listener
* When FS9 starts up, it is called via the lobby to join the multiplayer
* Some minor changes in CContextSimulator
* Added ContextSimulator::listenForAllSimulators()
* Added "auto" option in SettingsSimulatorComponent
* Default plugin is UnspecifiedSim, which stands for "auto" option
(!) This in an intermediate step, the feature is not yet fully operational
* max distance for rendering as simulator property
* set max distance / aircraft from GUI
As result of the latest meeting
* changed CCallsignList to CCollection
* fixed some warning with elevated compiler settings (e.g. removed qint values -> int)
* signatures in contexts
* some specialized functions in aircraft list
* context menus in aircraft view
* default "blinking" implementation in driver common base class
* Involves rearranging some header includes to break cyclic include dependencies,
* Adding a new, simple base class CEmpty,
* Removing any remaining polymorphic uses of CValueObject with templates,
* Adding a new trait for use with enable_if to restrict templates to work only with value objects,
* Replacing the polymorphic/runtime multimethod-based compare functions with static/compile-time compare functions.
The latest vatlib fixes some ambigious methods in the interface and
makes them more clear. Additional it adds a severity level to the
log handlers. Both causing the header to be source incompatible and
therefore need smaller changes in swift.
