Orbiter Patch 050126 Change Log =============================== Change log 050116 -> 050126 --------------------------- * Bug fix: corrupt scenario "2005 Edition/Delta-glider/DG and DG-S.scn" fixed. * Bug fix: position of direction markers in VC HUD was incorrectly updated with cockpit camera movement. * Bug fix: VC cockpit camera sometimes locked at forward position. * Bug fix: Improved initial estimate for iterative solution of Kepler's equation for open orbits (e>1) at extreme values of mean anomaly. This could cause "jumps" in position when orbit stabilisation was enabled. * Bug fix: Camera can now be controlled via mouse in ground observer mode. * Bug fix: DG: ISP for retro thrusters is now pressure-dependent in complex flight model. Retros have no effect on Venus surface any more. * Bug fix: direct target selection in Docking HUD and Docking MFD no longer allows to select an invalid dock number. * Bug fix: true airspeed calculation inaccurate at very high altitudes. * Bug fix: turned-off MFDs no longer reappear after panel switch. * Bug fix: Orbit MFD now remembers reference frame (EQU/ECL) between panel switches and simulation sessions. * Bug fix: long time step problem at simulation start fixed. * Orbiter Manual: Updated Section 21.4 "Surface bases". * Added: emdot's latest set of surface markers for Earth, Moon, Venus, Mars * Surface MFD: re-arranged components for better compatibility with standard EFIS instrumentation. Added support for IAS/TAS/GS/OS speed mode selection. * Surface HUD: switched speed and altitude boxes to make more compatible with standard HUD layouts. * API: mouse position passed to clbkVCMouseEvent is now continuously updated for virtual panel areas with PANEL_MOUSE_{L,R}BPRESSED attributes. * API: new VESSEL functions: DWORD GetGroupThrusterCount (THGROUP_HANDLE thg) const DWORD GetGroupThrusterCount (THGROUP_TYPE thgt) const THRUSTER_HANDLE GetGroupThruster (THGROUP_HANDLE thg, DWORD idx) const THRUSTER_HANDLE GetGroupThruster (THGROUP_TYPE thgt, DWORD idx) const
