[Flightgear-devel] 2D panel and hud
Thanks for your help leeE, now i have a new problem. Could you tell me, how can i change the view sequences in fgfs? Now the 2D panel hide the HUD but i want to change them. so i want to see the hud before the 2D panel, not behind that. Thanks for your help. Janos ___ Próbálja ki!

A copy has been sent to Robin Peel. http://www.awaywiththepixies.org.uk/pub/FlightGear/EGCF-198.dat Next in the list are Wickenby (EGNW), Sherburn in Elmet (EGCJ), Sturgate (EGCS) and possibly Waddo (EGXW) which looks a bit bare. Sherburn (along with the old blackburn factory runway nextdoor - used as a vehicle test track now, but has been used for some aircraft attending their air display in the past, which is why I included it) is done, I can't remember if I modelled it before or after they got their new runway though. I'll see what info I can dig up on Sturgate for you.

[Flightgear-devel] OT: some real life pics and final call for EDDI, Tempelhof
Hi everybody while cleaning up the memory of my cell phone, I found some pictures taken at various flights that I found worth sharing with you. Find them at http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ Some of them show my probably last approach into Berlin Tempelhof, EDDI - the mother of all airports, threaded by closure in october 2008 by the Berlin's mayor Mr. Wowereit due to some obscure political reasons. Tempelhof played a major role during the Berlin airlift in 1948 and has been a symbol for freedom ever since. Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempelhof_International_Airport All legal and political ways to save EDDI from closure have been tried unsuccessfully, but there is one last chance: the UNESCO world cultural heritage site. Please check http://www.tempelhof-weltkulturerbe.de/ and consider signing the petition.

It seems like genapts adds threshold markings (e.g. pa_threshold.rgb) to runways, which according apt.dat should have only visual markings. According to FAA AC 150/5340-1H (which is mentioned in rwy_visual.cxx), visual markings do not include threshold markings. According to that same sourcefile, you are the author of these functions. Did I miss something about that AC or is there a specific reason why threshold markings are included nevertheless in gen_visual_rwy? It's been a long time but I believe the original intent of the code is that precision and non-precision runways should have threshold markings, while visual runways should not have them. By my best recollection, this is how the code was designed and by my reading of the code, that is the way it still works. Do you have an example airport where this is broken?

Would that be 14ft in length (from 14/length)? That is only the thick painted line marking the leading edge of the runway I believe. The actual large threshold marking bars would be omitted. I haven't checked this on any specific airport, but I looked into the code due to Martin's question (top of this thread) about the markings included in the Visual marking type. Looking at Martin's question, based on what his runway includes, I would have said use non-precision markings. But then later he says that non-precision marking are not appropriate? Perhaps he could elaborate on that last point a bit? I should take a step back here and point out that the runway marking scheme is not designed to be able to handle every possible combination of marks that people might paint on their runways. There are FAA standards for the USA, and it appears that much of the world does something similar, especially for larger airports, but for other smaller airports, who knows? Some real person has to go out and paint the lines and they might not follow the FAA AC exactly as it is written. What we have is a comprimise ... a way to represent a huge proportion of the worlds runway markings using a relatively small number of embedded textures (rather than struggling with polygon overlays.) Hope that helps, Curt. -- Curtis Olson: http://baron.flightgear.org/~curt/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
