When I *moved* this code, there was absolutely no intention to change the behaviour - the FDM has 'always' waited for scenery beneath the aircraft - for some value of 'always'. That was the behaviour when the code lived in main.cxx and it's the behaviour now. If it's changed, then something was subtlety broken in the old code, because the intention (from the code comments) was that it should wait, especially so JSBSim can do ground trimming.

[Flightgear-devel] FG hangs on startup when nearby airport Scenery object is missing
Hi, let's think I'm taking a current version of FlightGear together with a current copy of the Base Package. Now I'll go editing the following file: Scenery/Terrain/w130n30/w123n37/942050.stg and I'm removing just the single line that contains OBJECT KSFO.btg, thus intentionally leaving a hole in the terrain. My '$HOME/.fgfsrc' looks like this: --prop:/sim/startup/save-on-exit=false --prop:/sim/paths/use-custom-scenery-data=false --prop:/sim/rendering/shadows/enabled=false --prop:/sim/rendering/shader-effects=false --prop:/sim/rendering/shader-experimental=false --prop:/sim/rendering/random-objects=false --prop:/sim/rendering/random-vegetation=false but setting an empty startup environment, no '.fgfsrc' or any other preferences at all doesn't make a difference. Finally, when I'm now starting 'fgfs', it'll hang forever at loading scenery objects. This issue has been introduced between 1.9.1 and 2.0.0 - anyone having a clever idea how this could be related / fixed ? I'm under the assumption that by setting the above preferences I already _do_ have disabled all those new features which might automagically interact with terrain surface. Or did I miss something relevant ? I'll probably have to start stepping through the changes between the forementioned releases but, as you might guess, I'd appreciate knowledgeable comments. Thanks, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- Beautiful is writing same markup.
