* fixed isCurrentThreadCreatingThread and renamed to isCurrentThreadObjectThread (this check was never working), added 2 more thread checks
* changed remove aircraft function to return number of returned aircraft (like with the containers this allows to avoid unnecessary signals)
* removed unused function ps_recalculateRenderedAircraft() / SimulatorCommon
* using Queued airspaceAircraftSnapshot signal for binding (functor connect does not provide connection type)
* extened ASSERTs to check threads
* simulator: initial situation function with return value (success?)
* simulator: avoid unneccessary copy and provide correct rendered flag in add aircraft function
* added unload function to disconnect signals / slots and simulator
* changed remote provider to return signal/slot connections to manually disconnect functor connects
* flag so pause can freeze or continue AI aircraft
* slightly changed unload behaviour in simulator context
Remark: Tested for FSX only
Solves #424 for FSX
* missing exports for new classes
* public non virtual convertToQString, propertyByIndex
* removed left-over of watchdog
* virtual destructor for avionicsbase.h
* logical / physical add/remote member functions in drivers, renamed functions
* added access to snapshot
* snapshot generation in analyzer
* snapshot handling in driver
* moved simulator base class in own files (.h/.cpp)
* added functions as required to context
* added snapshot class
* added snapshot in analyzer, signal for new snapshot
* made all provider signals available in CSimulator
* added finders in CSimulatedAircraftList
* moved COwnAircraftProviderDummy into own file
(similar to remote aircraft provider)
* removed references
* made own aircraft context thread safe (reg. own aircrat data)
* removed the read only versions of the provider
* adjusted consuming methods
* renamed some functions ("ownAircraft...") to avoid ambiguity (with remote aircraft)
* analyzer will run in background and perform several airspace calculations
* watchdog now acts directly on network signals, no need to add/remove callsigns
* access via provider, access now possible also beyond the scope of interpolator
* will be used in (to be written airpace analyzer)
* renamed some member functions as required
* fixed some asserts / Doxygen comments
* adjusted unit tests
* added vtolAircraft flag for interpolator, not fully used everywhere
remarks: update signals for parts / situation still only needed in XP driver
Airspace monitor knows all remote aircrafts and which have interim
positions enabled. It passes the list of receivers to INetwork
and INetwork sends it to FSD.
Interim packets are very close to normal position updates. It is
only missing transponder and speed information. On reception
of a interim packet, the information is added to a new
CAircraftSituation. The missing speed information is retrieved
from the last update.
The names were a bit misleading, hence this patch does rename
the methods to something more obvious. It also changes the behaviour
of CNetworkVatlib to automatically answer a custom FSinn query.
In both cases the important details are extracted and signaled to
airspace monitor.
The airspace monitor will send FSinn queries only if the exact model
is not yet known. This would be the case when another client had
sent a FSinn query already.
* 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
* 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
(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.
* 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
* removed unused functions / signals
* removed no longer used members / update timers
* Pass provider to contructors
* no direct access to monitor in other contexts
* changed to CSimulatedAircraft / Simulation::CAircraftModel
* added new functions such as icons for model
* improved ICAO code handling in airspace
* removed implicit logging from network context
