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.
Before this change signals when users were joining or leaving
the voice room were not properly handled. A new signal in audio
context is emitted now and gui will rebuild the user list when it
is emitted.
* changed aircraft view to siumlated aircraft models / views
* functionality to change fast pos. updates (signals, slots)
* allow to request text message widget from aircraft component
* Allow to "jump" to text message channel from ATC / aircraft
* changed timer connections for components to new SLOT syntax
* housekeeping:
** new function in network context for station by callsign
** refactored textmessage component, allow to select tab by slot
** wired up signal / slots in main GUI
** removed unused functions
** allow to select area and "myself" in infoarea
* preparation for a context menu to send text messages from ATC/aircraft view
* preparation for context menu for fast pos. updates
* reverse ICAO lookup at login screen
* display fast updates / parts in GUI
* moved max- aircraft into settings
* made serverselection own component
Also refs #351
* messages can be formatted with style sheet
* fixed: removed command from message
* added originator to command line
* msg parsing now in core
* using ITimestampBased for text messages and status messages
* allow to resize rows to content (view base)
* model / views for text messages
* removed old qt stylesheets
xbus logging handler assumed QMessageLogContext always had a valid file
pointer which is not necessarily the case. If the file pointer is 0x0
log a file name <unknown> instead.
* GUI component for aircraft parts
* remote aircraft selector component
* Adjusted GUI for internals component
* Enable / disable debug messages from GUI
* Allow to init engines directly
* Removed unused async sort in sequence
In same step fixed found issues in interpolator
* allow to set max rendered aircraft
* extended unit tests for interpolator / parts testing
* allow to skip sorting when splitting by time
* update ot aircraft to FSX in own member function
* Skip time sync parts (FSX) when disabled
(based on FSX testing)
* Only send changed situation to SIM
* Split sending of parts / situations
* Only send parts with a reduced frequency (means slower as positions)
* Mark geodetic height as null for default values (the value is usually unavailable)
* Fixed altitude to MSL for network data
* Trace which aircrafts support aircraft parts via network
* Renamed insert_fron push_front (as proposed by Roland)
Status quo / lessons learnt
* On slower PCs jitter is still noticed for interpolated aircraft.
* Running interpolation in an independent process (aka core, not in GUI) reduced load dependencies
=> it seems to make sense to run driver in own thread
* The onGround flag in parts seems clumsy as it required to retrieve parts for position updates
* In interpolation performance really matters
When the network connection is terminated, airspace monitor
can still recevice pending signals from vatlib. Those have to be ignored.
Otherwise it can happen aircraft (.. etc.) are added again to airspace,
which gives inconsistent results.
* using split by callsign everywhere
* helper function to insert_front
* revised linear interpolator
* renamed to remoteAircraft
* renamed to container() in providers (gettters are usually copies)
Issues why changes did so long:
* insert in list is not adding in front, but same as push_back (that was confusing)
* naming of values before/after in interpolator was ambigious
* QMap keeps values sorted by key, not arbitrarily
* keep split per callsign map in IInterpolator (so it is available for all interpolators)
* added signals to provider to add split situations / callsigns
* adjustments to airspace / context for those signals
* thread safe access to those from interpolator
* renamed from rendered to remote aircraft as discussed
* adjust samples
* removed no longer required functions in timestampobjectlist
* keep split per callsign map in IInterpolator (so it is available for all interpolators)
* Interpolator using CWorker, so it can run in background
* added signals to provider to add split situations / callsigns
* adjustments to airspace / context for those signals
* thread safe access to those from interpolator
* renamed from rendered to remote aircraft as discussed
* adjust samples
* removed no longer required functions in timestampobjectlist
* changed connectioStatusChanged from uint -> int
