Re: [Flightgear-devel] Adding custom menus per aircraft
* flying.toaster -- Saturday 01 July 2006 09:04:
the only way to add menus and dialogs is by putting them on
the $FGROOT/gui directory. Am I getting it right ?
No. You just need to add the items to /sim/menubar/default. This can be
done from local configs, *-set.xml files, command line, etc. But it's
only considered at startup. Later additions have no effect.
If not is there any tutorial on how to write aircraft-specific dialogs ?
No. But plenty of examples. Look into $FG_ROOT/Nasal/{gui,screen,material}.nas,
$FG_ROOT/Aircraft/bo105/Models/bo105.nas and $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/ufo/ufo.nas.
If not is there a way to condition the appearance of a menu to a
specific aircraft (that would help me for instance provide a fuel loadout
menu on a JSBSim aircraft)
JSBSim is not capable of providing this functionality. That's why this entry
is greyed out for JSBSim aircraft. But you can, of course, override that,
and offer an optional dialog. Just redefine gui.showWeightDialog() in
Nasal space and generate a different dialog.

I have already looked into that some time ago. I believe I understand more or less what is done there. I just did not want to open that task with one person. :) What do you think about putting that stuff into the scenegraph instead of doing OpenGL calls directly? I don't care much, but I welcome every improvement that someone else does. More work for me isn't an option, especially since the scenegraph isn't one of my domains. Ok, lets coordinate our work :) Well, the reason I ask is that I would like to improove flightgears internal structures and interfaces so that we have less things to reimplement when we add support for an other scenegraph api. OpenSceneGraph is a good candidate. But a well separated api will help integration of DirectX as an alternative on windows for the case redmond will stop support for OpenGL like they tried several times in the past years ... I have on my local disk already code that makes use of osg with the exception of the hud, the panel the clouds and the shadows. It is faster than ssg in most cases and I believe we can make look flightgear better with a better and maintained scenegraph. If we can base the hud on a restricted scenegraph api (well ssg is sufficient - ssg is restricted in itself :) and if we could reuse some SGAnimations that already can read properties will help definitely much. I don't know if we can get that far, but may be we can use external models that are used for the hud symbology and plug them together with animations? But at least getting rid of the direct opengl calls is something useful. An other option for the hud would be to merge the hud with the render_area_2d implementation. It is definitely some kind of that. Also the symbology described in the pdf you mention is not limited to the hud. It appears to be used for such mfd's too ... Well, I have to leave now and will be away until probably sunday evening. Next week is also a bit tight for me, so I cannot help much until in two weeks, I believe. But I would like to contribute to that project ... Greetings Mathias -- Mathias Fröhlich, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

And keep in mind, that our rendertexture implementation just does *not* work on any dri driver and on any ati driver. Only nvidia cards support what rendertexture's current implementation needs. So relying on nvidia for such a central thing like the hud is not a good idea IMO. Greetings Mathias -- Mathias Fröhlich, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[Flightgear-devel] Time initialization problem
Hi all, I'm investigating a time-offset initialization problem, related to a broken --time-match-local command line option. This option should set the local simulator time to the same time as where I am in real life. For example, I am located in a CET timezone, where it is 13:15, and want to fly in the pacific time zone, and also have the time there to be 13:15 locally. The --time-match-local option takes care of this by adding a 9 hour time offset to the value of warp. In src/Main/fg_init.cxx, line 1413 in the function fgInitTimeOffset() there is a line that reads: int orig_warp = globals-get_warp(); ... [some warp computations] ... which is later followed by: globals-set_warp( orig_warp + warp ); The problem is that this function is called twice. The first time through, warp is set correctly, but the second time through it is messed up, because warp is calculated correctly the first time through, but then the same warp is _added_ to the already existing warp value. The end result is that not 9 hours, but 18 hours are added to warp. Considering that this function is called Init, I believe that the statement on line 1413 is wrong. An init function should not carry over existing values or the very variable it is supposed to initialize. Therefore, I'm inclined to remove that part. However, I just want to double check whether there is a compelling reason to keep this in the code. Is there another function that can already set warp before time is initialized?

But I cannot find an example on how to set up a listener ... Also if anybody can think of a better solution to get the max and min of a property along time ... You will need continuous polling I think, so a listener is just extra overhead. Just make a little function call that checks the value and stores any max/min values it finds in a property. Make it call itself with settimer(foo, 0.05); or something like that as it's last line to get a tight polling schedule. It's possible that it will miss a max or min, but that property shouldn't be changing so fast that 20/sec won't catch it very near the peak. Josh Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Josh I might be wrong, but I don't think settimer(foo, 0.05) would poll any faster than settimer(foo, 0). ttps://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel True, unless someone had framerates higher than 20 FPS.

Planes like the bo105 with complex animations look pretty funny when they are not being flown locally, with doors missing, rotor blades all in one spot etc. It would be nice to have some property to key on and just present a low-LOD version of a plane when it is being viewed as a remote mp aircraft. Josh I believe the mp 'team' ;) are aware of this problem but it's not a trivial one to solve. It's not impossible, of course, but in addition to everything that is currently being passed between mp clients, a widely varying range of animation data would also have to be exchanged, in a scheme that would also have to cope with multiple instances of identical aircraft. Certainly, having some standardisation in the model and animation scheme would help but atm, I don't think that enough people have developed enough aircraft to have gathered enough knowledge to know what requirements would have to be met in the standards. Put another way, I don't think we know enough yet, to be able to define a standard that would cope with any eventuality. LeeE From my investigations this problem of missing model bits is caused because some XML animations turn model objects off (de-select them) when the view is from the cockpit. When the models is used for MP it's essentially an AI model and these bits get turned off because the AI property tree doesn't support views... the Spitfire had the same thing that I cured by removing the de-select parts of the animation XML :-D ene Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I was thinking more of continuing to not pass that animation data, but also locally setting some property that the animations could use as a key to do one static thing, instead of relying on those missing properties. The bo105 rotor, for instance, uses all sorts of Nasal provided props to set up the doors, rotors, etc. With some property, like /sim/mp=true, you could use a select anim to hide all that cool but non-functional stuff and substitute static doors, and maybe a simple unanimated rotor disc instead. The property would have to have it's value change depending on if it is being referenced by an ai/mp aircraft or one controlled by the local FDM. Josh Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] g-meter
Thanks for the answer on the dialogs. For the time being I will put the GUI on the backburner since some development needs to be done. I want to implement max and min g-load needles on a g-meter instrument. I was thinking that setting up a listener in nasal for vertical acceleration would do the trick... But I cannot find an example on how to set up a listener ... Also if anybody can think of a better solution to get the max and min of a property along time ... Enrique Maybe I'm on the wrong track , but why not use the /accelerations/pilot-g property ? Syd Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Time initialization problem
I forget who setup the original --time-match-local options (and friends) and I never really understood how they went together. I think if you do test out a change here, make sure that the --timeofday=dawn,noon,morning,night,etc. option still works correctly. Regards, Curt. Durk Talsma wrote: Hi all, I'm investigating a time-offset initialization problem, related to a broken --time-match-local command line option. This option should set the local simulator time to the same time as where I am in real life. For example, I am located in a CET timezone, where it is 13:15, and want to fly in the pacific time zone, and also have the time there to be 13:15 locally. The --time-match-local option takes care of this by adding a 9 hour time offset to the value of warp. In src/Main/fg_init.cxx, line 1413 in the function fgInitTimeOffset() there is a line that reads: int orig_warp = globals-get_warp(); ... [some warp computations] ... which is later followed by: globals-set_warp( orig_warp + warp ); The problem is that this function is called twice. The first time through, warp is set correctly, but the second time through it is messed up, because warp is calculated correctly the first time through, but then the same warp is _added_ to the already existing warp value. The end result is that not 9 hours, but 18 hours are added to warp. Considering that this function is called Init, I believe that the statement on line 1413 is wrong. An init function should not carry over existing values or the very variable it is supposed to initialize. Therefore, I'm inclined to remove that part. However, I just want to double check whether there is a compelling reason to keep this in the code. Is there another function that can already set warp before time is initialized? -- Curtis Olsonhttp://www.flightgear.org/~curt HumanFIRST Program http://www.humanfirst.umn.edu/ FlightGear Project http://www.flightgear.org Unique text:2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] g-meter
* syd sandy -- Sunday 02 July 2006 01:19: Maybe I'm on the wrong track , but why not use the /accelerations/pilot-g property ? Only YASim sets this. None of the other FDMs does. That's why I had used /accelerations/pilot/z-accel-fps_sec * -0.03108095 in the now obsoleted new src/Instrumentation/HUD/ code. (Because this value was a bit too instable, I had also added a simple optional EWMA filter for HUD input channels.) m. Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
