I haven't looked at this since I submitted the original message, but will probably work on it again soon. One note: I believe (but haven't verified) that because of where the range selector is being placed in the scene graph, all the children from the same tile are using the same range.

[Flightgear-devel] Sun Azimuth [Was: licensing problems in SUSE Linux]

Hi, I just tried an idea I had which was the following: * Unix time represents the current time in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970. * There are 86400 seconds in a day By combining these tow I can get the normalized UTC time-of-day (ranging from 0.0 .. 1.0) at lat/lon (0.0 , 0.0)

Thanks. I downloaded the latest bleeding edge snapshot from the terragear.org website, which included the patch. I had to fix acinclude.md4 for the latest automake, but have hit a problem with ld. Is this another version issue? Output below. Thanks -Stuart Making all in e00 make[1]: Entering

Thanks Erik - I really appreciate your quick response. I built the latest SimGear CVS snapshot, hit the same problem, then realized my LIBRARY_PATH wasn't set. Doh! Running export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/include/simgear got it to compile further, but hit the problem below.

But, an FDM interface needs to do more than shove a datastructure back and forth. There needs to be some higher level communication to tell the remote FDM when it should reset it self or when it should trim for in air or on the ground, and what trim conditions are requested (i.e. start in
