Hello,
I have decided to try something simpler than attacking the problem of the plane flipping over, so I thaught I would try adding functionality to quickly change the latitude/longitude and optionally altitude. I realize all of these things are simple to change through the property browser, but it may be a bit more user friendly to change them from a menue. I have that basic functionality working but I would like to send the contents of the altitude box to a function that would determine whether the box is empty or not. If the box is blank, then the intent is that the plane would be "warped" to that lat/lon at ground level for that lat/lon.
I'm not sure this is a trivial task because after positioning you need to retrim the aircraft to the new position ...
It appears that if the above were possable, then I would have to write a command and put it in fg_commands in the Main source dir, is this correct?
Or you could add a command later int the code, but for this I would have chosen to add it there indeed.
By the way, thank you Jim for answering my previous posting.
The next feature that I think would be nice is the ability to change aircraft while the program is running, if that is possable. Would either of these simple features warrent including in the Flightgear distro?
This is definitely not a trivial task. I've started working on it some time ago but let it rest (for now) because of the difficulties (again) with resetting the various subsystems.
The other day I was thinking of something that could be nice for starters but I don't seem to remember it anymore :-(
Erik
