* signatures in contexts
* some specialized functions in aircraft list
* context menus in aircraft view
* default "blinking" implementation in driver common base class
* 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.
* 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)
* 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
* consolidated ICoordinateGeodetic (e.g. fixed nested properties)
* shifted common functionality for objects/containers with callsign into interface
* shifted common functionality for objects/containers with geo position into interface
* shifted common functionality for objects/containers with timestamp into interface
* updated corresponding value objects / specialized lists
* adjusted all places where renamed functions are used
* 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
* discussion: https://dev.vatsim-germany.org/boards/22/topics/2027?r=2040#message-2040
* fixed bug with ATC station component, wrong signals for booked stations
* booked stations loading to frequently (for each minor change such as online), changed to timestamp based concept
* update booked stations with receiving ATIS/voiceroom to online
* CDigestSignal class: new class and methods for collecting signals, avoiding too many signals - one of the cures for the performance issues
* fixed bug found during testing, missing start for timers when connecting to network
* some improved comments and information
* QMetaObject::invokeMethod in tool.cpp as thread safe invocation
* common base class for threaded readers
* removed event class, using QMetaObject::invoke instead for forcing calls in main event loop
* stop methods for readers, as used for graceful shutdown (preparing for thread safe destruction of objects)
* graceful shutdown for network context
* calls in tool now via inkoke for thread safety (only thread safe methods called directly)
