 Hi all,
 
 With help from Geoff and James I've successfully added FGCom feature to 
 FlightGear.

And thanks the Clement for tackling this.

 1) Simultaneous calls

snip

 If someone want to expand IAXClient library in order to manage simultaneous 
 calls, please raise your hand !

I would say that would be 'quite' tough, but more likely we can run two 
instances of iaxclient simultaneously.

 
 
 2) OpenAL context
 In order to avoid context conflict I've merged FGCom sound into global FG 
 sound system.
 This mean that we can choose to redirect FGCom sound into our headphone and 
 FG sound into our speaker.
 The question is: can we agree that FGCom sound is played on the same output 
 than FG sound ?
 
 Again, if someone is ready to investigate OpenAL deeply, raise your hand.

This one I care about, but on Mac stand-alone has the same issue. The fix on 
Mac is for me to create a non-OpenAL backend for iaxclient, either the 
PortAudio one or write a native CoreAudio one myself. Anyway this is just 'an 
enhancement', what you suggest is fine for now.

BTW I suspect the iaxclient ALSA backend might give this feature trivially on 
Linux. I know very little about Linux audio, so I leave it to people there to 
experiment.

Regards,
James

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Base fgdata

2013-06-09 Thread Renk Thorsten
 The primary increase seems to be in Textures.high/Terrain. In 2.10.0,
 the size of the folder was 181 MB, while in the current git version, the
 size of the folder is 300 MB.

If no one has any problems with the autumn texture versions in any rendering 
scheme (i.e. nobody sees a semi-transparent texture when using the regional 
materials file under any rendering scheme) then we can remove the non-autumn 
textures which should free some space. Should we do this? 

I have added several textures for regional texturing schemes which can also 
account for part of the increase. The png versions of dds textures are, I 
think, part of the regional UK scheme by Vivian. So I would guess that a fair 
share of the increase is actually connected to added features.

(Compared with phototexturing, I think our scheme is actually fairly cheap in 
storage space even with all the regional goodies...)

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear voice communication

Jörg,

 Could it be possible to start 2 instances of FGCOM in

 the background (just with different ports) and thus 
 be able to switch
between those two from within FGFS?

Ok in this case I will keep active COM1 and COM2, but keep in mind that you 
_can't_ listen to COM1 and COM2 at same time.

 Could there be a restart-button (just in
case)?

Of course, a new GUI dialog (designed by Vivian, thanks to him!) will come with 
FGCom
In this GUI dialog you have a checkbox Enable FGCom, if you uncheck then 
re-check it the whole FGCom subsystem is reinitialized.


James,

 I would say that would be 'quite' tough, 
 but more likely we can run two 
instances 
 of iaxclient simultaneously.


It could be a solution, but I admit that for now I don't see how to achieve 
this.


There still some work before releasing FGCom into next branch like:
- Implement the isInRange() designed to detect if the freq still in range or 
not and hangup/re-call in case
- Move the content of update() into helper in order to avoid copy/paste
- Clean code (mostly done)

This require only some hours of work, unfortunately I will be away from 
keyboard for the next week and freeze period comes at the end of the week...
Frustrating isn't it ! :D


Cheers,
Clément

[Flightgear-devel] Automatic value copying in Internal Properties browser

2013-06-09 Thread Saikrishna Arcot
It seems that in the latest git version, when clicking on a value in the
Internal Properties browser, the value no longer automatically gets
copied into the text box. This makes it a little hard to slightly
change, for example, the position of the aircraft.

Ignore the message. It seems that FlightGear didn't copy the value that 
time, but seems to be working fine now.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] JSBSim Synch with FlightGear

2013-06-09 Thread Jon S. Berndt
Can I request that the current version of JSBSim that is in our cvs as of
this moment be synched to FlightGear as early as convenient for the
synch-er? What's the proper procedure?

When's the next released scheduled after the upcoming one?

 

  http://wiki.flightgear.org/Release_plan

 

So, 7 months from now.

 

While it would be good to have a new version of JSBSim, the whole purpose of
the freeze is to give a stable target for testing against - replacing one of
the FDMs with a significantly changed version definitely doesn't fit with
that!

 

I see Torsten has already updated that page with a new task to sync JSBSim
when entering feature freeze - as he said, the process improves!
