ARRRGHHHH
I just discovered this piece of code in the CVS
} else {
*(int*)0=0; // unexpected tag, boom
}
}
I will leave the name calling and expletives out but
THIS IS RUDE ARROGANT AMATURISH PROGRAMMING
TO THE MAX and completely UNACCEPTABLE in a complex
project like FlightGear where not everyone is familiar with
every line of code
Would the programmer responsible either
1) CHANGE THIS ASAP to at least print an error message
or
2) defend this hack publicly
=================
There is some good news however
After discovering that the above was responsible for
unexplained crashing at startup with some configurations
I can announce that I have a new Height above Ground algorithm
that is MUCH faster < read order of magnitude >
FWIW - this should translate into a 5-10% boost in frame rate
depending on current Scenery complexity, angle of view
< even a geForce2 becomes fill-limited quickly by the cloud rendering
so tilting the view down a bit should help frame-rate for most >
etc.
Note for the FDM writers
This means that queries for multiple < 3 or 4 > gear locations
should be quicker then just the single query was before
Cheers
Norman
