[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear runs cleanly on AMD64 in 64 bit mode

2004-06-12 Thread Alex Perry
I just noticed that the Debian autobuilder had quietly gone off and made AMD64 packages to run FlightGear 0.9.4 and all its dependencies in 64-bit. I did sudo apt-get install flightgear and fgfs ... and it ran fine. The framerate was just over 1fps, but that's because the laptop has the ATI 9600

[Flightgear-devel] Missing ILS approaches

2004-06-12 Thread David Megginson
With Robin's latest database, we've lost nearly all of the ILS approaches in Canada -- the DAFIF has very few Canadian ILS approaches (8 approaches for four airports), but Robin used to have manually-entered copies of many, many more in his database. He seems to have dropped them from this

[Flightgear-devel] Possible bug handling LOC radio.

2004-06-12 Thread Ed Sirett
The changes made a couple of weeks ago to handle the new VOR/DME/LOC/GS database stuff may have introduced a bug. Whilst the cross track error is calculated correctly for VOR/DME radios the cross-track error is wrongly signed for ILS LOCalisers. The corss track error is correctly signed when
