This commit adds a check that loadAndResolveSimConnect actually succeeds and
moves it right before SimConnect_Open is called.
The method itself was improved to check whether symbols got loaded already
in a previous run, before doing everything again.
Initially, the port is filled with 45000 which is reserved for GUI<->Core
DBus communication. Therefore, the default address must be overwritten.
The displayed value might change again in case, a custom TCP address and port
is selected in the user settings.
ref T291
* view rows not selectable
* added settings to ISimulator
* ISimulator implements initSimulatorInternals() and sets default values
* also display plugin name
* XPlane using initSimulatorInternals()
* the most accurate value seems to be returned if the height is close to the elevation
* in normal scenarios there is no much difference of the results if 0 is used
* in Lukla (9200ft MSL) the difference between 0 and 9200 is around 1ft
* in the LOWW scenario using 50000ft MSL results in around 3ft too low elevation
* typo getRemoteAircraftsData -> getRemoteAircraftData (no "s")
* typo getEelevationAtPosition (double "Ee")
* get functions "const"
* added unit for some variables such as latitudeDeg
Previously the FSX/P3D driver tried to link a very specific SimConnect version
from the Windows Assembly cache. This caused issues with machines
which did not have this specific version of SimConnect in the assembly
cache since drivers refused to load without much information. Having a different
version of SimConnect in the assembly cache or even in the bin folder did
not help.
To fix this problem, SimConnect is now loaded and resolved manually at
runtime. This allows to try loading different versions from the assembly
cache or prefer to load the shipped one.
For this, the manifests are linked into the binary's resource section and
activated manually before loading. This has the positive effect, that
loading errors can be handled by code instead of raising a cryptic error and
aborting.
* 2 queues, one for pending "to be added" aircraft and one for "adding in progress" (easier timeout detection)
* disconnect DBus when unloading
* check if aircraft "are still in range" before adding
* adding to XPlane only in one place
* data for aircraft can be explicitly request and are requested directly when an aircraft has been added
