readsb rows (adsb.lol and a local dump1090 receiver) often send no track for
an aircraft on the ground, only its true heading. The track then read as
missing and the aircraft was drawn facing north, so one taxiing south looked
like it was moving backwards. Each normalizer now falls back to true_heading,
never the magnetic heading.
Every aircraft model (Flights, Military Flights, Local ADS-B) mixed 94% of a
flat class colour over its mesh, so airliners drew as white silhouettes and
military ones as amber. Models now use HIGHLIGHT: white leaves the mesh's own
colours as built, and the tracked and emergency colours tint the mesh without
hiding its paint. The IR boost still draws them flat white.
The car, van, fire truck and pushback tug were stacked boxes. The car is now an
operations SUV (rounded body, glass house with a sloped windscreen, roof light
bar, grille and lamps), the van a high-roof panel van, the fire truck an airport
crash tender with roof and bumper turrets on three axles, and the pushback a low
chamfered tug with a glazed cab. All stand on the ground at their built size.
Their trail anchors are measured again.
Feeds carry many airport ground vehicles (type ZVEH) and ground stations
(GRND) that were drawn as the generic plane, some at the 10 km airborne
default.
- types.json gains aircraft_callsign rules: a ZVEH callsign starting FIRE is
a fire truck, PUSH/TUG a pushback tug, DEICER/SQUID/SQB a van, else a car.
GRND draws a new 11.8 m radio mast (other/radio_mast.glb).
- resolveAircraft and aircraftModelSpec take the callsign; a matched rule
names the model outright, ahead of the type's class model.
- The layer spec cache keys such types by the rule matched, so it holds at
most one entry per rule.
- These models (catalog category `other`) draw at their built size, as such
models already do, and a
contact with no altitude whose model is one now stands on the ground; the
feed's own type is kept for such contacts, as no airframe lookup knows it.
- Local ADS-B passes the callsign too.
The session snapshot recorded a user's switch only after the CCTV panel had
already rendered the layer off, so a first switch-off by the user inside
Contacts, or after a partly failed restore, still kept the panel open.
Context controls now hold the layers _clearLayersOutsideContextMode is
switching off while its transitions run; suspendsLayer reads that set, and
the snapshot is no longer consulted.
- A frame with no speedMps gets an exact anchor: an inertial one ran on at
zero speed and closed at 0.75 m/s, so the camera fell kilometres behind a
moving train. The docs example now passes speedMps and anchor: 'exact',
a name for its HUD, and isEntryAllowed for a train bound to its line.
- Transit's snapshot height is the floor where playback draws the vehicle,
not the newest report's floor uphill, and null while that floor is cold,
so a view waits for the surface instead of standing on the ellipsoid.
- Rail's direction follows playback once it has placed the train: a report
that runs back (a reversal, or GPS jitter) no longer turns the view
while the drawn train still runs forward.
- A frame's id is trimmed as the candidate's is.
- A double-click on the selected vessel no longer enters an application's
subject that took entry after it.
- The docs import from gods-eye-view/..., the package's name.
An inline panel that lost its WebGL context showed the panel runtime's own
notice and, over it, an alert dialog with no buttons that it could not act
on. With allowReload false a lost context now clears the notice and shows
none, as the docs already said. keepPanelRendering no longer logs render
errors itself: the render failure notice logs each one. Name the Cesium
private fields finishRaise and reportThrown rely on, and the version they
were checked against.
Turning a layer on does not leave Contacts, so a user could turn CCTV back
on inside the mode and off again; the layer was still in the session
snapshot and the panel stayed open on an empty frame. The snapshot now
records every layer the user switched during the session, and
suspendsLayer is true only for a layer isolation switched off that the
user has not touched since.
A probe at 08:00 Japan time on 2026-11-14 saw vehicle positions on 33 of
the Japanese feeds. Those rows lose liveSeen: false, so they join the
coverage heat-map; the ones seen with five or more vehicles are centred
on them with a radius that covers the farthest one. The 21 feeds that
were empty overnight and in the morning stay registered and flagged.
Draw coverage as Gaussian discs blended in the opaque pass: wide spots
from orbit cross-fading into service-area patches at regional zoom.
Translucent billboards darkened into rimmed discs under Cesium's OIT at
orbital distances. Feeds not yet seen live get no spot.
Contacts and Space Missions switch CCTV off to isolate themselves and restore
it on the way out: the panel and its share preference now stay as they are for
that round trip, as they do for Clear selected data layers. The controls no
longer read the collapsed class before asking: the panel chrome tells a panel
the accordion folded from one whose saved state is closed.
The camera controls gate asserts the collapse, reopens CCTV from the right
rail before switching it back on, and runs a Contacts entry and exit with the
panel open.
The panel opened itself when a camera became active, but nothing closed it
when the layer went off: it stayed expanded, empty, and its meta line still
described the last camera. The collapse runs only on the on-to-off change, so a
panel opened by hand while the layer is off stays open, and a context-mode
layer clear keeps the panel as Radio does.
Above the altitude gate the layer draws no vehicles, so nothing showed
where Transit has data. One soft spot per enabled feed, hotter where
networks cluster, fading in across the gate. Built from the registry;
no feed is polled for it.
Keyless VehiclePositions feeds the Mobility Database records under
CC0 1.0 or CC BY 4.0. Added overnight in Japan: 50 answered with an
empty message, and each row says whether positions have been seen.
Four test files built the same widget on CesiumWidget.prototype, viewer
proxy, store and notice; renderLoopFixture.mjs now does it once. The notice
test drives Cesium.Event instead of a hand-made double. frameEvents() drops
tileset.tileLoad, which Cesium raises inside its own error handling, and the
notice no longer guards a viewer without a canvas or requestRender.
Ten operators whose published terms were read and permit display, and
129 keyless feeds with no stated licence, marked as such. Feeds whose
terms need a key, registration or permission are left out and a test
keeps their hosts unregistered.
The fleet models (#1714) draw nearby trains and vehicles under the 3D toggle. A
held one now leaves out its model as it does its icon, as the Vessels layer does
for its bridge subject: its model item is hidden, and handing the visual back
to its icon keeps the icon hidden while held. Tests drive each layer with the
real fleet-model layer and a stubbed glTF loader; both fail without the fix.
Each row is the keyless GTFS-RT vehicle feed of a national access point
record whose licence field is Licence Ouverte 2.0 or ODbL, seen live on
2026-11-13. Rows live in transitFeedsFrance.js; line names for feeds
that publish internal route keys come from each record's routes.txt.
Networks already registered through the operator's own endpoint are not
added again.
Most live vessel feeds send no length, and the resolver then fell through
every length rule to the range's last model drawn as built, so a cruise
ship or a container ship showed as the smallest model of its range.
types.json gives each passenger, cargo, tanker, fishing and service range
a typical_len (cargo 300 m, tanker 250 m, passenger 140 m, fishing 40 m,
...); a vessel with no usable length is chosen and drawn at it.
Comments keep only the why: the loop-running flag, the mid-raise events and
the one-time canvas focus. The CURRENT-STATE section lists behaviour and
pitfalls instead of retelling the code, and no longer says every tileset
event is raised outside Scene's error handling.
