Hi, RE: --aircraft=ufo in system.fgfsrc is ignored *AND* Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: [Flightgear-cvslogs] CVS: FlightGear/src/Main fg_init.cxx, 1.115, 1.116 Well, it is 'not' ignored, exactly ... it is picked up in the full scan of the 'command' options, later ... but that is 'too late' ...

[Flightgear-devel] fgrun WIN32 double quoted path bug

2005-02-16 Thread Geoff Air
Hi Fred, and others ... First I would say I LOVE fgrun ... my hat off to those in our community who 'remember' all the 130 plus command line options for FlightGear ... yet they are part of its 'power' ... as well as giving a beautiful preview of the aircraft ... fgrun takes the angst out of

Hi Fred, Yes, it is hard to notice, since this will work - --fg-scenery=c:\my path and only in the very, very unlikely case of say a path like 'my path a' would fail with - --fg-scenery=c:\my path a the space being 'outside' the quotes ... I think the win32 C/C++ runtime parser, that splits the

Thank you, Harald for your quick reply ... 1. Easy fix - line endings Glad you could confirm my CVS check out ... but the suggested code fix takes care of it, which ever line endings there are in zone.tab ;=)) 2. Hard find - ABORT Thank you for the Debug menu pointer ... I had not found MSVC

Hi, I guess I should write MSVC7.1 ;=)) I am using the 2003, version 7.1.3088 ... Have downloaded beta 2005, but still to try this ... Thanks for the heads up about the 120km limit of the renderer, Harald ... I will keep that in mind ... I presume this is a constant defined in FG/SG/PLIB/??

[Flightgear-devel] MSVC7.1 CVS Oct 25 - 2 compile errors

Hi, My CVS update of Oct 25 pulled in lots of 'changed' files, and had two problems with the compiles. They were simple fixes ... SG/source - fastmath.cxx Had to put the include of fastmath.hxx in front of #include simgear/constants.h, since constants.h also sucks in math.h ... through

Hi WIN32 developers, I too have had BIG PROBLEMS with compiling OpenAL CVS with MSVC7.1 - maybe this will eventually be cleared up by the OpenAL developer group ... maybe NOT ;=(( Part of the problem, is that for no particular good reason that I see, in WIN32 they, the OpenAL group, decided to
