I discussed the improved radar with Melchior, he is very reluctant to include it because it is plib only. The existing radar and the improved version are disabled in osg. FWIW the diffs are here: ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk/fgfs/instrumentation/ And there are some screenshots here: ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk/fgfs/Screen-shots/radar2.jpg ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk/fgfs/Screen-shots/radar1.jpg The improved radar is capable of displaying raw radar contacts and or data for any AI Object in the environment (ships, aircraft, ballistic objects etc.), the radar horizon is calculated, and the Radar Equation is applied to determine detection ranges. Some assumptions are made about RCS. The map mode has been implemented, and the plan and weather modes retained, although the latter needs further work before I'm totally happy with it. Father improvements could be made in the area of RCS - we really need to access the type of AI Aircraft to make appropriate adjustments in the RCS, and I would like to add a fluctuation of the RCS as well. ATM it models a simple pulse radar, but I can simulate other types such as Doppler as a future enhancement. And, sorry, no terrain, that in the too-difficult tray right now. Oh, and I forgot - it also displays TACAN data. I've delayed making any announcement while I've been looking at its implementation in osg, but I think that's a way off yet. It's fun anyway :-) Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
