[Flightgear-devel] Sorry about the noise on the commitlogs list
Apparently I did a few pushes to a terragear-cs-repository which accidentially had the EMail commit hook enabled - but wasn't supposed to have _any_ hook activated - resulting in duplicate and/or obsolete commitlog EMails.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Flying the f-14b...
Hi, Thank you for your reply. Yeah, sorry for the noise... I had eventually found the 'L Beam Box' fuel in /consumables/fuel/tank[2]... I _WAS_ being confused by the 'empty' indication, and the fact that some values are not filled in... like as shown, via the httpd server - Contents of /consumables/fuel/tank[2] capacity-gal_imp (154.8873218) capacity-gal_us (186.0119176) capacity-m3 (0.7041317048) density-kgpm3 (754.9064927) density-ppg (6.3) empty (true) kill-when-empty (false) level-gal_imp (0) level-gal_us (175.1549882) level-kg (0) level-lbs (1103.476425) level-m3 (0) level-norm (0) name (L beam box) selected (true) transfering (false) unusable-gal_imp (0) unusable-gal_us (0) unusable-m3 (0) Similarly for the 'R Beam Box' in tank[4], etc, but now have the information desired... no problem... And do my own 'conversions', and just ignore the 'empty' indication, but (perhaps) not the 'selected'... And similarly, eventually began to understand that the left and right 'Sumps' ARE additional (small) tanks... tank[3], tank[5]... So now I have the same value as the onboard display, through telnet ;=)) As usual should look HARDER before blabbing... sorry... Onwards, to happy FAST FLYING ;=)) Regards, Geoff.

Of course I would further recommend an 'f', to set full flaps, before you bump the throttle... and you will be airborne quite quickly... very BIG POWERFUL engines... If like me you started on KSFO 10L, quickly throttle back to about 50%, or less, and commence a left turn, and head back to the San Mateo bridge... another left, and line up for a landing... to complete your first 'manual' circuit... Re: FUEL Am a bit confused by the MENU - Tomcat controls - Fuel stores - http://geoffair.org/tmp/f-14b-fuelset.png and the onboard fuel display - http://geoffair.org/tmp/f-14b-fuel.png It _SEEMS_, in the Nasal code, the 'Sump' is ADDED to the fuel displayed... This does not seem right!?!? I added 2x225 (450) pounds of fuel, but end up seeing 1010 pounds of fuel on my panel display... Now maybe I do NOT understand the 'sump' (2x281), but it seems the nasal code ADDED this as well... Yes, I asked the nasal code do that. Each sump is a tiny little tank that contains only 281 lbs of pure JP-5 (44 US gal)... ask Grumman :-) As indicated. maybe _NOT_ a problem, but QUITE confusing none the less... and needs explanation... The two lateral digital fuel quantity indicators can represent three different quantities depending on the respective switch setting (fuel control panel on the left console, outer left switch, WING, FEED, EXT) When on the middle position it sums the tanks for each feed group: left wing, aft, left beam box, left sump, or right wing, forward tank, right beam box and right sump. In the manual, the feed group may or may not include the wing tank... Other positions show only wing tanks or external tanks. The tapes show only internal, that is each feed group without wing. Total shows total fuel as expected. What's funny is to look at how the fuel flows from one tank to another depending on the fuel flow at the engine pumps. After a while the system can stand afterburners needs but not more. Unfortunately I didn't took the time to model the engine system yet, I did a guided missile instead (me bad boy !) Re: autopilot (F11 and keyboard) Have not yet explored all of this, but the first few tries seemed quite successful... Need more time to make sure the generic 'autopilot' (F11 or through keyboard commands) of the f-14b is working as it should... but at this time have found no particular problems... no adverse behavior... no 'error' outputs... That is at least in the low altitude, low speed, full flaps mode, low throttle, mode I have been using... The altitude mode has a lot of trouble with the

BTW, as a quick script-fun-project I've reprojected these maps into WGS84, but as you can see from this QGIS screenshot: http://foxtrot.mgras.net/bitmap/Dallas-Ft_Worth_87_WGS84.png there's still a lot of work to be done for clipping off the legends, which, obviously, has to be performed _before_ re-projecting, before you'll be able to create a seamless map of the entire US.

Erik Hi Erik It was me introducing the new water shader (while the old one can still be used by the quality level slider, right?). There have been some problems with sun/view angle a longer period and as I remember Tim fixed this once. I was off and I didnt find time to check this changes, and I dont find the time recently to improve the code because I am engaged in other things. So when someone wants to jump in you are welcome anytime. Otherwise, it is temporary, because of our different terrain engine, our limited lights/shadows etc. Means, the extended water shader is a combination of a very simple water shader example and some stuff used for another project: http://dangerdeep.sourceforge.net To be clear, there was no intention to bring something in here for the next ten years.
