- The process of
- setting the initial values for the global object and static members of certain classes, using data from environment variables, parameters, configuration files or default values.
- Managing the file paths used by the application to ensure it is done securely
- Ensuring that paths actually exist
- Creating a "Globals" object to hold references to major functions and data items
- initializing the "Globals Property Tree" with default values
- If a launcher process is desired, locating the launcher, starting it then exiting
- dealing with multiple copies of flightgear running at the same time
- starting logging at the desired level
- Initalizing managers for Embedded Resources, Add Ons, Simgear Subsystems, Simgear Events
- Setting Locale and Language
- registering the "idle handler", the function called when flightgear is "idle"
- Pre-Initalizing the renderer
- executing the "ATI viewport hack"
- Passing control to the master event handler, fgOSMainLoop()
Primary Files: bootstrap.cxx, main.cxx, fg_init.cxx, globals.cxx, options.cxx
