[Flightgear-devel] Glideslope/LOC reception improvements

2009-09-11 Thread James Turner
I've updated both of your/John Denker's glideslope/LOC patches against current trunk, hopefully correctly, and done quite a bit more testing. It's good practice for my ILS approaches! I'm reasonably happy that all the numbers coming out are plausible, so my inclination at this point is to

Although getting osg from cvs rang a bell with me, I'm not sure if those commands were ever on one of the FG sites: they relate back to when OSG was still hosted on sourceforge, as the link below shows... http://sourceforge.net/projects/openscenegraph/develop However, OSG moved from

I just want to make sure if we (flightgear) have some outdated documentation that gets identified and fixed. If someone managed to dredge up some really old information from some other site, there's not much we can do about that. Curt. On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 11:21 AM, leee wrote: Although
