Re: [Flightgear-devel] possible solution to online flying (VATSIM)?!
Paul, How about this idea ... Since the X-Plane XSquawkBox module is cross platform why don't we just write a proxy app for it that pretends to be X-Plane and interfaces directly to FG in the background? That sounds really good, although it's probably a lot more work than just interfacing XP and FG -- remember XSquawBox has a GUI which must be emulated! 1. you don't need to purchase X-Plane and run it on another PC You don't need to purchase it anyway -- you don't need the scenery or joystick input, and these are the only two things missing in the demo version! I actually like the idea of running it on another PC because having to type text messages to ATC on the same keyboard as the one controlling the aircraft is a real mess. (Forget to press Return before you type in XP and you can end up at FL380 with the gear extending, A/P off, and reversers deploying -- no fun at all.) I'm sure though that Sandy would help us by giving away which functions of XP he uses in XSquawBox, i.e. which ones would have to be emulated. Andras --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Hi. I mentioned this next door on terragear-devel, but figured there might be people not subscribed there who'd be itnerested. Anyway, last night I finished writing up my TerraGear HOWTO (really a companion document to the most recent documentation, trying to fill in gaps and correcting stuff in the docs that's incorrect). It's available off the front page of the FlightGear wiki.

[Flightgear-devel] Frames of Reference in jsbsim
I just *know* I'm going to get totally flamed for this, but can someone please tell me how the CG, Eyepoint, AERORP and VRP are interconnected? Yeah, I know - RTFM. Trouble is, I think I did R the FM (there was an article by Jon S. Berndt himself in Issue 1, Vol1 of the Quarterly Newsletter) but it didn't seem to answer the following questions. For that matter ISTR that this same issue came up here a while back, but I can't find it in the mailiing-list archives. Here goes. Issue 1, Vol1 of the Quarterly Newsletter states that the sim tracks an aircraft by its CG. However, it then goes on to state that CG isn't a useful datum for a frame of reference because it can move (as, for instance, when fuel is used up). Indeed, CG gets specified in the aircraft .xml file as having an [X,Y,Z] location, and evidently this [X,Y,Z] is using some other point on the aircraft as datum. Where is this other point? Just some arbitrary convenient point? Presumably not the aerodynamic reference point, since it looks like that also gets specified with an [X,Y,Z] coordinate in the setting of AERORP. Is the AERORP the point about which the tail arm is referenced? Where should the AERORP be placed w.r.t the wing? Is there a concept of wing arm to match the concept of tail arm? I think I know what the eyepoint is :-). It is specified with an [X,Y,Z] too, but in what coordinate frame? Likewise the VRP. This is the location of the reference point of the 3D model isn't it? Again, from what point is the VRP's [X,Y,Z] measured from? Then there's the semi-unrelated question of the X axis. Increasing aftwards it says, but along what axis of aftwards are we speaking? Is it parallel (say) to the chord of the main wing or what? Finally, back to CG again. Do I assume the the CG that is specified with an [X,Y,Z] coordinate refers just to the CG of the airframe itself? Issue 1, Vol1 of the Quarterly Newsletter states (quite rightly) that the actual CG of a plane moves during flight duration as the fuel is used up, but I assume that this is why you can specify tank locations and fuel weights and rates of fuel usage. So the actual flying CG of a plane isn't where you set CG? Sorry about the interrogation, but I've realised that I seriously don't know what I'm doing in the .xml file department here! Thanks in advance for any insights. Steve. --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

I just *know* I'm going to get totally flamed for this, but can someone please tell me how the CG, Eyepoint, AERORP and VRP are interconnected? Yeah, I know - RTFM. I'd say that, but there really isn't much of one, yet! :-( You won't get flamed. It's not the easiest concept to figure out. Issue 1, Vol1 of the Quarterly Newsletter states that the sim tracks an aircraft by its CG. However, it then goes on to state that CG isn't a useful datum for a frame of reference because it can move (as, for instance, when fuel is used up). Indeed, CG gets specified in the aircraft .xml file as having an [X,Y,Z] location, and evidently this [X,Y,Z] is using some other point on the aircraft as datum. Since it is largely the relative positions of various points on the aircraft which matter most, it's somewhat arbitrary how the base coordinate system is defined. The XYZ points in the JSBSim config file are specified relative to a coordinate system that has its X axis pointing backwards, the Y axis pointing out the right side of the aircraft, and the Z axis pointing upwards. The origin of the coordinate frame could be anywhere, but it is usually out ahead of the aircraft, and often the X axis is coincident with the aircraft centerline. This is the structural frame as defined by some aircraft manufacturers. It is fixed in the aircraft for all time. I think I know what the eyepoint is :-). It is specified with an [X,Y,Z] too, but in what coordinate frame? Likewise the VRP. This is the location of the reference point of the 3D model isn't it? Again, from what point is the VRP's [X,Y,Z] measured from? Then there's the semi-unrelated question of the X axis. Increasing aftwards it says, but along what axis of aftwards are we speaking? Is it parallel (say) to the chord of the main wing or what? The VRP, landing gear, CG, aero ref pt, eyepoint, engine locations, etc. are all in structural frame. Finally, back to CG again. Do I assume the the CG that is specified with an [X,Y,Z] coordinate refers just to the CG of the airframe itself? Issue 1, Vol1 of the Quarterly Newsletter states (quite rightly) that the actual CG of a plane moves during flight duration as the fuel is used up, but I assume that this is why you can specify tank locations and fuel weights and rates of fuel usage. So the actual flying CG of a plane isn't where you set CG? Correct. The CG moves. The empty weight CG is what is specified in the metrics section of the config file. Don't feel bad about interrogating. If you have questions, please feel free to ask either here or in the JSBSim list. Let us know if the above does not answer your question.

[Flightgear-devel] Formation Flying
Hi allLast night Dave, shavlir, Eow^^ and I successfully flew in rather tight formation for about 20 minutes. At any given times our 4 aircraft were contained within a 50 meters diameter volume. We managed to maintain an arrow shape formation with Dave Culp in lead shavlir #2 on his right wing, me #3 on his left wing and finally Eow^^ as #4 on my left wing. We also switched to diamond and shavlir and I both moved from Dave's left wing to his right while remaining in formation. With a little more training we can close up a little better, we even managed a formation landing...It was awesome.You can check out screenshots of this flight at the following locations: http://flamebunny.homelinux.net/pictures.php?name=fgfspage=6http://fgfs.i-net.hu/modules/xoopsgallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album14 http://www.geocities.com/eow_fg_mp/I am looking for a good aircraft for this exercise, the OV_10 was good since it was stable, easy to control its speed and great field of view. However I'd like one with nav instruments as well, for future flights following a flight plan;)Regards,Julien
RE: [Flightgear-devel] Weekly CVS Changelog Summary: FlightGear data
Start here: http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=FlightGear-0.9 This is the /var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9/ part of the path. Then click the link to data, the link to Docs, the link model-howto.html, then choose save link target as... (or windows equivelent) on the Download link. Save this file into %FGROOT%/Docs/model-howto.htm You can pull the other by going back to the link above and following down the tree. Be careful though, playing around manually replacing files from CVS like this _may_ hose your flightgear system. Aren't you still running 0.9.8?
