* the reader will be used in context, but can also be used standalone (ie mapping GUI) GUI
* adjustments in context/airspace as required
** for web reader
** livery
* base class for database based reading (via JSON/web)
* model data reader for models
* set infobar status correctly when GUI connects after the core has been started
* more detailed information in information statusbar
* allow to obtain currently connected server in network context
* made many network vatlib slots normal member functions
* fixed rendered aircraft flag setting in FSX driver
(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)
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 idea is if you are an addon and running inside the simulator process
you can put his name there. Since swift does (not yet) run as an addon,
set it to "None" instead.
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.
* Removed obsolete signal from IContextSimulator
* Removed connectToSimulator() method from IContextSimulator as it is no
longer relevant
* CSimulatorComponent updates automatically when simulator disconnects
* FS9 & FSX drivers update (including FSCommon)
To provide maximum flexibility, the simulator info is specified by each
plugin in the JSON metadata file.
* Renamed SCimulatorInfo to CSimulatorPluginInfo
* Removed pre-defined simulator infos (UnspecifiedSim, FSX, etc)
* CContextSimulator keeps track of which plugin is loaded and its info
* QSignalMapper keeps track of which listener emitted the simulatorStared() signal
* CSimulatorPluginInfo contains name, simulator name and description
* TODO: GUI part
* TODO: CTestFsCommon
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.
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
(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
* removed unused functions / signals
* removed no longer used members / update timers
* Pass provider to contructors
* no direct access to monitor in other contexts
* fixed issue with parsing, only default locale is used. Now user's local possible
* allow to load FP for other callsigns as well (voice capabilities)
* Improved handling of CTime, inclusive bug fixes and time formatting
* Max. lengths for FP fields as const value (so we can change it if required)
* Load FP from GUI component
* Samples for PQ classes
* Adjusted depending classes (e.g. client)
* Aircraft ICAO class: hasXX methods (hasAircraftCombinedType(), ..)
* Index Variant map, contains(index)
* Deleted context_network_textmessages.cpp and moved it into impl.cpp (this was only 1 method)
* Fixed bug refs#228
* changed .pro / .pri as required
* Used info from project class in network_vatlib
* Checks / info in GUI/core (e.g. console)
* const * versions of systemNameAndVersion / simulators, as mentioned in https://dev.vatsim-germany.org/issues/217#note-4
