</cloak> Hi,
As always, thank you all for a great flight simulator +++ Have been enjoying it, and your exchange here for 'yonks' ;=))
RE: --aircraft=ufo in system.fgfsrc is ignored
To change a 'feature', one that has been mentioned here many
times, and again recently, place the following code block
into fgInitFGAircraft (in fg_init.cxx), at about
line 343, just before the fgSetString("/sim/aircraft" ...+
if ( aircraft.empty() ) {
// Check for $fg_root/system.fgfsrc
SGPath sysconf( globals->get_fg_root() );
sysconf.append( "system.fgfsrc" );
aircraft = fgScanForOption( "--aircraft=", sysconf.str() );
}
+If this behaviour change is agreed, then maybe someone who has tested the patch, can send a diff to Curt, or directly update CVS ...
In its favour, I would argue this means FG can be run without a command line, provided FG_ROOT has been set in the environment, and that seems to me, as it should be ... ;=))
Perhaps the only counter, is that system.fgfsrc is read twice, but so are others, like .fgfsrc, for other (local) options ... or system.fgfsrc should .nt. be used for 'aircraft' ?
It certainly paves the way for fgrun to simply write the system.fgfsrc, and run the binary with a minimum of command line parameters ... and leaves a persistent file 'trace' of what fgrun 'requested' of FG ... more info benefit ...
Continue to enjoy ...
Regards,
Geoff.
