This is meant as a preview.

This was a bogus concept, either runways have a reciprocal or not (if singled-ended), really this was simply exposing an artefact of the apt.dat encoding. Change to an API which gives what is actually wanted - the ability to extract an airport's runways without any reciprocals included.

simple.[cxx|hxx] -> airport.[cxx|hxx]

As an opt-in API, allow clients to request partial results, with a time-bounded cutoff. Use this to keep the MapWidget responsive even when many airports are being added to the cache (e.g., zooming out or panning rapidly when zoomed out)

Record the historical flight-path (by default, since last takeoff). Optionally display the flight-path in the map; other visualisations (e.g., an 'in-world' view) could also be created. Nasal API to follow so Canvas-map or FMS can show the same data.

Altitude and attitude (Euler angles) are currently recorded but not used anywhere.

Cache the parsed navigation and airport data in a binary file to reduce
startup times and memory consumption (since only referenced FGPositioned
elements are held in memory).

Data will be reimported when the mod-time of any input file is changed.
If a global file is changed (nav.dat, awy.dat, apt.dat, etc), the cache
will be completely rebuilt, which takes approximately 30 seconds on
moderate hardware. (Future work may reduce this).

Default values should match existing behaviour. Set
/sim/navdb/min-runway-length-ft to skip short runways
in GPS / Map / ND / Nasal queries.

Convert the route-manager to use a flight-plan internally, and expose
flightplan, leg and procedure data to Nasal. Move the Level-D parser
into its own file.

Work on an azimuthal project mode for the map, to improve behaviour in polar regions. Disabled for now since performance is extremely poor.

Flip map zoom, to fit with user expectations better. http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=485

This happened for fixes with names shorter than 5 characters.
range check added, which operator[] does not perform.

Panning feature looked broken to some users since auto-center is enabled
by default which blocks panning. center-on-aircraft is now disabled
automatically when view is panned.

Thanks to Victhor Foster for the idea.

Almost couldn't see the new blue color on my screen.
Enjoy the blues... :)
