Hi All, I've uploaded an updated patch for a tutorial system to
http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/tutorial.tar.gz It contains the following pieces. 1) A patch to apply-presets so the engines are running if you start in mid-air. Previously I had to perform a mid-air restart in the c172p... 2) A modification to the sounds dialog, including a new checkbox for tutorial instructions, which (like ATC chatter) are independent of the Mute option. 3) A new Tutorials item under the Help menu. 4) A "tutorial wizard", allowing the user to select from the available tutorials, and then view a description of the tutorial. 5) A library of Nasal functions that reads a tree of properties underneath /tutorial to run a tutorial. 6) XML tutorial file for the Cessna 172p consisting of tutorials for take-off, landing, flying the pattern, and emergency landing. Issues: - My modification to presets_commit is very piston-centric (i.e. it sets the magnetos). Does anyone have a suggestion on how to start the engines more generically? - I haven't yet recorded voice instructions for the Cessna tutorials (though I have tested they work). I intend to do so once people have had the chance to critique the FG CFI ;) - The text on the tutorial instructions page extends past the end of the textarea boundary. Looks like some sort of GUI bug. - I'm not sure if my pattern description is OK. Specifically, I've got the user turning to crosswind at 500ft AGL. - I need to write a tutorial on writing tutorials, though there is a description in tutorial.nas Feedback welcome. -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
