[Flightgear-devel] [PATCH] switching views (trivial)

2003-02-03 Thread Geoff Reidy
Hi all, I always wanted to be able to hit shift v to be able to cycle through views the other way. That way you can toggle between 2 views without having to go through them all, which can be uncomfortable if you're about to run into a mountain or something. It looked like the code was all

Hi Geoff, I've got several changes and fixes to the viewer code, one of which changes the view manager to allow what you are describing. It is actually a little more flexible than just reversing, you can select the view through a property. This allows going forward, backward and directly to

[Flightgear-devel] DAFIFT progress

Okay, so I have FG working with the DAFIFT NAV and WPT data (replaces default.fix and default.nav). Now, I need some advice: - What things to test that may have broken. I've extended 'testnavs' quite a bit and everything in there works, but this is a minute sample compared to what's out there.
