Hi all, I've just noticed that at least these jsbsim aircrafts create a file named "initfile.xml", inside the directory I use to launch FG. Here is the file content: <?xml version="1.0"?> <initialize name="reset00"> <ubody unit="FT/SEC"> 0 </ubody> <vbody unit="FT/SEC"> 0 </vbody> <wbody unit="FT/SEC"> 0 </wbody> <phi unit="DEG"> 0 </phi> <theta unit="DEG"> -0 </theta> <psi unit="DEG"> 0 </psi> <longitude unit="DEG"> 0 </longitude> <latitude unit="DEG"> 0 </latitude> <altitude unit="FT"> 0 </altitude> </initialize>
that is not so disturbing as long as I don't have an important file already named initfile.xml in the directory I use to launch FG :p, but it is surprising to see that FG can write everywhere. When I try to launch FG from /etc (with no write permissions) I've got the following message in terminal: "Could not open and/or write the state to the initial conditions file: initfile.xml", and FG continues gently. What is the purpose of this file? I'm using FG/CVS freshly compiled. best regards seb ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
