[Flightgear-devel] Glideslope bugs/improvements

2009-09-14 Thread James Turner
Two (unrelated) glideslope things: 1) I tested making the has-gs property be based upon the GS range check (leaving aside any discussion of how GS reception range should be calculated). This is good, because existing panels generally use has-gs as a 'valid GS signal being received', to

[Flightgear-devel] Using ogr-decode and shape-decode

2009-09-14 Thread cullam Bruce-Lockhart
Hi all. I've got a bunch of shapefile data for the island of Newfoundland that I'm intending to use in Terragear. It's called Canvec data, and I think I'm going to need to use ogr-decode on it to get it into WGS84 format. Provided I'm understanding this correctly, that is. Everything in the

I'll change all of my AP glideslope behaviors , the hacks are usually because I haven't found any documentation , so I go with a rough guess. I have come across information that states that on some systems , the glideslope will not capture until the localizer has been. I also use the has-gs when
