From the numerous responses I gather that this is an often used and appreciated
feature. If someone more familiar with C++ than I am wants to try an acceptable
fix that avoids the necessity to change plib's pu.h: I attached my version.
On the fgfs side:
- make get{Integer,String}Value return the value of sub-object _list_box (which
contains the index/icao code of the selected list item), instead of the
object's
itself (which is always zero)
On the plib side:
- make puValue::getStringValue() in pu.h:538 and puValue::getIntegerValue()
in pu.h:535 virtual. Weirdly, the former would be enough ... at least until
the next gcc is released.
To make the gui-airport list useful, one would have to add another button
"Scan Scenery" that would search all paths in fg_scenery() for airports and
store this list in $FG_HOME. Further runs would then only show actually
available airports. Unfortunately, the whole $FG_HOME idea was put down.
Sigh.
