Tracking a civil flight asks Planespotters for that aircraft's photo, once
per aircraft, straight from the browser. The CONTEXT panel's CONTACTS view
shows it under the flight's name with the photographer's credit, as a plain
link to the photo's page. Only images on plnspttrs.net and pages on
www.planespotters.net are ever shown or linked. Military aircraft and a
converted TR-3B are never looked up.
Flight lookups (type, route, photo) whose source failed temporarily are
asked again after a 60-second cool-down; an answer, found or not, and a
permanent refusal stay final for the session. A route belongs to the
callsign it was looked up for, so a callsign change drops the old route.
Browser QA scripts that track a flight answer the photo lookup themselves,
so they never call the third party.
With Lines on, every progressive paint of a loading city rebuilt all road
lines: up to three ground-line primitives for as many as 1,500 roads, built
asynchronously. Builds started faster than they finished, and each kept the
set it replaced in the scene until it was ready, so sets piled up.
One set now builds at a time. A rebuild asked for while lines are building
replaces the one waiting, and the newest starts when the build finishes.
Lines replaced by a finished build are removed before the next one starts.
Turning Lines off removes the lines at once and drops the waiting rebuild.
createApplicationTools returns pointer: claim(owner) takes the pointer as
Draw does and returns its lease, or null while another tool holds it;
release(lease) gives it back; isFree() lets the application's own click
handlers yield, as the layers' do. This replaces drawShape, which this
branch added: Draw is as it was.
With readings kept per point, the floor a vehicle gets depends on which point
is probed and where it is read. Transit offered the sampler the first point of
each vehicle's path in a cell, usually its oldest fix there, so a vehicle that
stayed in one cell never had its current spot probed. It now offers the latest
point of the path in each cell, and the newest fix in the vehicle's own cell
(the selected vehicle's history is walked newest first).
The grounded-flight display clamp read the floor at its sticky cell's centre,
which now answers from the reading nearest the centre, not the contact. It
reads at the contact's own position, held inside the sticky cell so boundary
hysteresis still applies.
On the photoreal stack the rendered-mesh floor took one probe at each coarse
cell's centre (0.001 degrees) and kept it for the session. A centre on a roof
passed the +80 m DEM window and lifted every vehicle in the cell to roof height
(a Haymarket bus drew 23.5 m above the street, on the garage roof); a centre in
the river put Red Line trains on the Longfellow Bridge 6-9 m under the deck.
The sampler now probes at the caller's point. A cell with a reading is probed
again only at spots about 17 m apart from earlier ones, eight at most, and a
spot refused only because the cell's DEM prior was cold is tried again later.
The floor keeps each reading that passes the gate at the point it was taken
(two within about 5 m keep the lower; sixteen at most per cell) and answers a
read from the reading nearest the asked point, so a viaduct and the street
beside it in one cell keep their own heights.
- KML/KMZ import: a per-file canvas budget and cache for ground overlays,
limits on rings and vertices of raised polygons, overlays across 360° and
near the poles, degenerate holes, polar and single-latitude fills,
absolute overlays at their altitude, overlay order by drawOrder as on
Cesium, and pins on tiles keep their measured height.
- Points on the surface: OSM Places and Street Level cones share the
surface sampler and sit on the terrain before they are measured, within
a sampling budget per pass; Cockpit's contact-dot bank keeps the dot
atlas, and a failed fleet model loads again after a pause.
- Startup: the loading screen lifts after the share-link view is restored,
the retry screen names the failed engine and takes focus, and the
fallback toast stays for 6 s.
- Engines: an engine switch lands a running camera flight at its
destination (camera.completeFlight on both engines), the sighting card
leaves focus on the engine picker after a switch, and a Cesium model
error stays with the instance that failed.
- The MCP panel builds again: its wind-mesh alias resolves to the stub.
- QA: the wildlife switch waits for the camera to rest, GBFS --w2 says it
needs the dev server, and test fixtures are shared instead of copied.
Before merging: singular 'one' forms from the review table (44 entries),
counters keep their order across the slash (מתוך, as Arabic المن), the
lightning layer says ברקים (the legend now counts ברק strikes, the help
text keeps 110°E Latin), configured-elsewhere keys are promised
untouched, Punk is פאנק רוק, dock/panel side labels follow the mirrored
layout, and the HUD-summary English guard covers he (NON_LATIN_LOCALES,
tested) — documented in Adding a language along with format-scope.
Suggestions and nits: restricted is מוגבל, stage recovery is החבה not
שחזור, voice-inactivity names the behavior, lane directions use
attributes (השמאלי) and around is לאחור, Ironbow and KM/S stay Latin in
same-as-english, {age} no longer doubles לפני, typos and garbled words
fixed (תנאים, ידנית, ודאות, מקלט, זמניים, ערוץ 14, מעונן חלקית, אין אות
קריאה, Tab לתצוגה מקדימה, השאר ריק, היוועץ), counted units shortened
(שנ' דק' שע' ימ'), terminology unified (briefing תדריך, forecast תחזית,
course מהלך, אונייה, שריפה), rtl.css shares the mono redirect under
:is(:lang(ar), :lang(he)) and its comments match the rules,
worldOverlayTokens adds Noto Sans Hebrew to the canvas card fonts, he.md
gets the fraction-aware plural table, iw/iw-IL map to he (tested).
- Translate the 12 new strings: site standby and Live-Signal pings,
releasing and keeping the camera on a subject, riding a satellite,
the focus and return chips, unnamed mapped sites.
- OFF-NADIR stays as printed via same-as-english.
- Rebase on origin/main and translate the 130 new strings: event-age
filter, satellite class groups (STATIONS/IMAGING/TELECOM/STARLINK/
PROBES/DEBRIS) with CelesTrak SATCAT context, TomTom traffic limits,
the ship bridge view (look/hold/radar/SOG/COG), the orbital view
(swath, off-nadir, TLE, sub-satellite point, nadir/track-up) and the
world-time play speeds.
- Instrument readouts keep the Latin codes (LOOK/STBD/PORT, NM, NORAD,
EPOCH, TLE, OFF-NADIR, STARLINK, EYE, SWATH variants) via
same-as-english.
- Prune 3 entries whose English main replaced.
- Add the full catalog (2940 entries keyed by the English text; 75 plural
entries carry one/two/other per Intl.PluralRules('he')), reviewed for
meaning, terms, separators and label length.
- Register he: he-IL and he map to it; it joins RTL_LOCALES so <html
dir=rtl> mirrors the chrome through logical properties and rtl.css.
- rtl.css: Noto Sans Hebrew (loaded with the other Google fonts) leads the
mono and sans stacks, tracking released like Arabic, HUDs keep JetBrains
Mono for Latin telemetry.
- same-as-english: instrument codes and HUD readouts stay as printed
(HDG/BRG/CRS/FOV/CRT/NVG/FLIR/CAL/SRC, MW units, Sentinel-2, km/h...).
- docs/translations/he.md: style, plurals and glossary.
- docs: TRANSLATORS.md and CURRENT-STATE.md updated; normalizeLocale test
covers he-IL.
Navara now matches Cesium where the review found it diverging: a flight
holds the camera inputs, camera.changed counts turns as Cesium does,
render requests made during a frame survive it, follow pinches zoom,
ground widths follow the pixel ratio and Cyber sonar reaches glyph caches
and models. On Cesium, a staged imagery swap keeps loading tiles, setView
replaces a running flight, and a cleared weather detail goes away.
The contract gains MoverSet.failed, maps.terrainRevision,
render.maxTextureSize and surface.sampleTerrainMostDetailed on every
engine, so layers retry failed models, key road heights by terrain,
size weather textures to the GPU and place Bhote Koshi cards on detailed
terrain.
Engine switches keep the live view, follows, focus, layer options and
cards: a pick hands over the exact pose, applies no address options and
pans no carried-over card; a history visit still applies its entry.
Layers put GhostMaps pins, cable landings, OSM Places and directions on
the measured surface without per-frame sampling, draw the Cockpit contact
dot, hide disabled CCTV on attach, and keep ALPR running outside secure
contexts. KML imports draw raised polygon fills, rotated and coloured
ground overlays and north-referenced icon headings, and report files
with nothing to draw.
QA scripts read the contract instead of Cesium internals (test:track is
109/109 again), wait for the camera to rest before clicking, and give
cold switches and parked engines realistic time. Docs follow the code.
createApplicationTools returns drawShape({ shape, signal }): it opens Draw
for one area or line and resolves with its Polygon or LineString without
placing a mark, or null when draw mode is left, the signal aborts, a newer
request replaces it, the pointer is held elsewhere or the tool goes. The
shape controls cannot change the asked-for shape, and a shape across the
antimeridian is refused as a row's actions refuse it and drawn again. It
also returns pointerFree, so an application's own click handlers yield to a
tool holding the pointer, as the layers' do.
