[Flightgear-devel] Shipping the most relevant airport data with the Scenery

2008-08-16 Thread Martin Spott
Traditionally, the "three main sources of FlightGear users' joy" (TM) are tightly coupled together: The Base Package depends on the Sim-/FlightGear source mainly because aircraft features are being developed in sync with the available FDM- and rendering facilities. The Scenery on the other hand dep

[Flightgear-devel] KLN89 waypoints clean-up

2008-08-16 Thread James Turner
Attached patch refactors the KLN89 code to use the same navaid / fix / airport storage as the rest of FG - instead of copying each (large) list when the instrument is initialised. This gets rids of the _waypoints member of DCLGPS - the waypoint class is still used in the internal flightplan

[Flightgear-devel] xmlgrep (and something else :-)

2008-08-16 Thread Melchior FRANZ
As you may have noticed, Erik has recently overhauled (or rather rewritten) xmlgrep. That's a fast utility for finding properties in an XML file. It works with any XML file, not just our internal flavor. In many cases a simple recursive grep isn't good enough. If you do a simple search for "Helve

James, while I'm pretty much in favour of spatial indices, note that a lot of work in that direction has been done already. As far as I know, Mathias Fröhlich has written a general templated spatial index for simgear. I've the code with me, but haven't found time to look at it yet (Sorry Mathia
