Re: [Flightgear-devel] A SenecaII for FlightGear: first version available
Looks great, flies good. I managed some pretty landings after I got a feel for it. Is it supposed to pitch down so violently when the flaps deploy, though? No, that has to be improved The instrument panel is outstanding, does (will) the white dial on the airspeed indicator move to give KCAS or TAS? Yes, there is an object in the airspeed indicator model and the texture is complete. I will give it a blister and a hotspot to turn it. Should be ready soon.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Generic Protocol (generic.cxx etc) - Binary Mode

Let me know what needs to be changed, fixed, orrefactored before it can go into CVS.

Run FGFS with:$ fgfs ... --generic=file,out,24,bintest_out,bintestAs well, there is a Python script (sorry, the script is a horribly dirtyhack) to decode and print the results. Execute it with: $ python test_decode.pyTo do list for the generic binary support:* use ntohl() etc to make the protocol independent of host endianess.* add CRC checksum as a possible packet footer* add binary input support * test thoroughlyCheers,Hugo VincentOn Mon, 2006-04-24 at 09:59 +0200, Erik Hofman wrote: Hugo Vincent wrote: I also updated OpenGC for this change and made a OpenGC.xml protocol file, but it appears the OpenGC project is more or less dead. Also, Network/opengc.cxx is a bit of a mess and seemingly unmaintained; it might be nice to get rid of it and replace it with a XML file at some stage. One approach is to directly replace opengc.cxx with an XML file that emulates the structure of the ogcFGData class, - however different compilers probably pad the variables in the class differently (for alignment/efficiency), so a patch to OpenGC does need to be made. If anyone wants the generic binary mode patch, or better yet, wants to add it into the main FlightGear repository, reply (to the list). Also, if anyone else has uses or requirements for binary protocols, let discuss them here, so that we can make generic binary support as broad and applicable as possible. I think it would be valuable, exactly for the reason mentioned above. Erik

For 99.9% of the people out there, sdl will work just fine and they won't be able to tell the difference, and for the other 0.1%, freeglut won't work anyways because they never actually implimented glut's game mode. Curt. SDL is indeed shipped with FC5, but punters would have to load their own from http://www.libsdl.org/ if they want to run FlightGear with SDL on a Fedora Core earlier than that. I have now got a Fedora Core 4 RPM of FlightGear compiled with SDL rather than freeglut. It will run on FC5 too (I think). I'd appreciate if anyone out there with FC5 would load it and give it a test. It's called FlightGearSDL and is on the same FTP site as my other 0.9.10 offerings: ftp://tallyho.bc.nu/pub/steve/flightgear/FlightGearSDL-0.9.10-0.FC.i386.rpm Please would all the mirror-site operators grab a copy? It would be useful if the FlightGear website download page points out that: FC2 people have to run the freeglut version. FC3 people have to run the freeglut version. FC4 people can run either (but will have to get a copy of the SDL RPM from the FC4 updates site if they want to run the SDL version). FC5 people can only run the SDL version due to trouble with freeglut 2.4 SRPMs coming soon. Thanks in Advance. Steve --- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Flightgear-devel] Patch to add ... to menu bar

I've modified the menu bar so that all menu entries that display a dialog box have ... at the end of them, so Load becomes Load... etc. This will make it easier for new users to guess which commands will cause an immediate effect (Random Attitude), and which will display further options (Autopilot Settings...).
