Yippee! After the recent A380 update, there are presently NO 'case' only duplicates in any single folder, causing a Windows cvs update to hiccup... Thank you all... Case closed ;=)) Geoff. PS: This is nothing to do with a parallel, seemingly similar thread - RE: Duplicate files in base

A Sigma-Tek attitude gyro, for example, looks and works pretty-much the same as a primary instrument for a Cessna 150 or as a backup instrument on a 747 -- the differences (such as different voltage for the backlighting) are pretty trivial. I'd hate to see 100 copies of the same Sigma-Tek

Something I'd love to see, in the long term, is a GUI that allows users to customize their panels, just like real aircraft owners do. I could decide to install a different brand of TC (the default late 1970s Cessna 172P now has a vintage 1950s needle and ball instead of a TC -- cool, but what's up

[Flightgear-devel] A380 model loading failures

2010-02-27 Thread James Turner
I just updated data to try the A380, and I'm not seeing any model (interior or exterior) - the FDM and other pieces seem to be loading fine. My tree contains assorted minor changes, but nothing that should affect this. Relevant errors, I suspect: Failed to load submodel: Failed to load 3D

Ewww , a GUI to do this ? Its already pretty easy to point the model section to a different instrument , and the one Im currently working on , Im creating several panel files with different layouts that can be selected in the set file , but I'd hate to see instruments being changeable while in

I think I misunderstood you ... a graphical tool to do this would certainly speed things up ... currently I used a dummy panel in Blender to find positions. I though you meant from the runtime menu :). Syd On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 11:23 AM, David Megginson david.meggin...@gmail.com wrote: On

Could certainly be done ... perhaps (although maybe a little awkwardly ... or not?) using the FlightGear gui and nasal infrastructure. I'm envisioning the 2d panel structure I guess ... probably would be more complicated with 3d panels. Curt. On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 2:26 PM, syd adams wrote:

I don't know about dynamic positioning of instruments, but I would find it interesting to have an easy method of selecting alternate instruments for the same position. For example, I have several attitude indicator variations that could be used based on period or pilot/owner preference. This would

Interesting idea... Ive got a panel file for each panel layout , but that changes the entire instrument positions and types , not individual instruments ... Might be tricky unless the instrument selection is from the Instruments-3d folder ... Just thinking out loud here :) Syd On Sat, Feb 27,
