Re: [Flightgear-devel] Fwd: Remove right access to CVS FlightGear/data

2009-03-29 Thread syd adams
I have to agree here ... seems pointless to keep them in cvs if gerard will
have maintained versions available ...
Also saves everyone's time down the road trying to explain why it's broken
and where to get the current version.:)

And I disagree.  We should leave them in CVS.  There is no point in
causing their removal from everyone who uses CVS's hard-drive at this
time.

If the aircraft is going to be maintained ex-cvs but not maintained 
within cvs, then retaining it within cvs just adds another 
unmaintained aircraft to the list.

While someone, at some point in the future, may adopt it, until that 
actually happens all you're achieving by keeping it in cvs is 
making an obsolete version available, which is worse than useless.  
A link to the maintained version makes much more sense.

[Flightgear-devel] jsbsim wind correction in opposite direction

2009-03-29 Thread jean pellotier
hi,

with last update, i think that jsbsim is applying the wind correction in 
opposite direction.
i tried to follow a tanker first with a F-4N,  and it was the same with 
the c172p, facing wind from environment, air speed was equal to ground 
speed minus wind speed.
that was not the case last time i did a compile, 5 days ago.
and no problem with yasim planes.

Hi Guys,

Agreed, except for the situation where the author of an aircraft
decides to change the license. When this happens, a fork has been
created, even if there is still only one version.

If an aircraft is not available in CVS or somewhere else that is
authoritative, where does that leave a community. The former license
community has rights to extend the pre-fork version of the
software/data.

Just a thought.

Regards


George

This question comes up sometimes, and then a fix is made. There may be a
misinterpretation in the interface between FlightGear and JSBSim about
winds. For instance, when a wind is specified is that a from direction or a
to direction? JSBSim interprets wind specification as a to direction.
I've looked at this quite a bit internally in JSBSim and de-obfuscated it a
month or two ago. However, it's possible that the interface (JSBSim.cxx) may
need to be adjusted.

I'll crosspost this to the JSBSim list. We'll try and get to that at some
point. Meanwhile, if you run different tests and are really convinced that
it's a problem, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Jon
