Nowadays most of the loadbalancing is done on the server-side and hence
there is only a single datafile URL (and other URLs) inside the
boostrap.json.
The features of the CUrlList are hence not really used. This is also a
step into removing CUrl and using QUrl instead, to avoid maintaining a
separate URL class.
With default settings, FSUIPC was not really used
by FS simulators (except FS9) as the transponder
mode readout was done with SB offsets through SimConnect.
For simplification, this removes FSUIPC from fscommon and moves it to FS9.
Therefor this also removes the option for FSX/P3D users to toggle FSUIPC.
The watchdog was used in a few places as a shortcut to skip reading
data. Further, it was used in some places in the UI to display
connectivity. But it also introduced quite some complexity. In some
cases it can be fragile: network accessibilty cannot be looked up on all
platforms/hardware constellations. The connectivity could change
between the last watchdog call and the real call. Hence all readers must
still handle the case where the connection fails.
To simplify swift and further reduce the dependency onto the project
infrastructure (pings etc.), this removes the watchdog.
This also removes the QNetworkConfigurationManager, which is deprecated
and not available with Qt6.
Previous we relyed on the watchdog providing a working shared URL (or
empty URL if no URL was reachable). This creates some overhead and
might not work in all cases because of the time between the call to
getWorkingSharedUrl() and the actual network request. Further, not all
calls that are fetching data from our servers were using the shared URL
from the watchdog anyway.
Lastly, this careful checking if the URL is available is only done for
the shared URL and not for all the other URLs that are queried by swift.
As requested by some users, this button is used more often than other
buttons in the flight plan component. Hence it should be moved to a
better place.
The flightplan is already automatically validated when sending it to the
server. To simplify the UI, this removes the possibility for this extra check.
This functionality was not documented. Further, this feature likely does
not work great in all simulators because adding and removing aircrafts
might take longer than a second.
The hotkeys were only implemented for some tabs as this was likely
forgotten for the new tabs. As this feature was likely not used very
often and to reduce the maintanance burden, this commit removes this feature.
Spreading the information about the ecosystem into all
"low-level" readers, just to deactivate them when not using
a non-VATSIM ecosystem, should be avoided. Instead, the readers
should be disabled entirely from the outside . This will be done
in a upcoming refactoring (separate PR).
As a black text color is enforced for the menu, we should also enforce a
white background for a good contrast.
This is more or less a workaround as this does not respect any system
style settings (dark mode, ...).
This fix will become obsolete once tackling #138 (removing/reducing stylesheet).
Fixes#139
As the datastore now has real (no self-signed) TLS certificates, the host
verification should not be disabled by default. When testing locally,
one could use non-TLS connections.
