Hi all! I've not touched the new submodel.*xx sources yet because I want your opinion on how I should implement it into the other configurable systems.
The existing configurable systems are the pitot, static, and vacuum systems. These are configured in one configuration file defaulting to Aircraft/Generic/generic-systems.xml. I would like to include the configuration of submodels in this file also, since submodels might be classified as systems. The submodel is coded somewhat differently from the other systems (pitot, static and vacuum). The submodel class uses a vector of submodels to create several submodels. The other systems only have one system in it's class. The system manager (system_mgr.*xx) creates object instances of the system classes. So for the submodel one object instance is created and it contains all submodels, and for the others zero or more object instances are created. I am inclined to modify submodel.*xx to "behave" like the other systems, and to move the configuration of them from a separate file and into the systems configuration file. I can think of a few good reasons for doing this: * It makes sense to use the same philosophy for the systems. The instrumentation also uses this philosophy. * Fewer configuration files. * The submodels will become independent so you could for example make one not serviceable (jammed guns). If nobody has any objections I will of course go ahead and implement these changes as I have described. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
