Hello, I've been reading through a lot of the TerraGear code after I've read the center line problem but I'm interested in tackling a different problem. It doesn't help I don't have an intimate knowledge of C++, nor have I ever properly compiled TerraGear on Linux... so please bear with me.
Runway precision markers have an international flair to them. The UK uses a different set of aiming point bars, for instance. There are a lot of countries which use solid single stripes instead of having three- and two-bars, too - from Canada to the UK to Germany. I've sent in a new UK aiming point texture to Martin to have him include that in the CVS (thank you in advance, Martin). Still, I need to create the code to get it into TerraGear so the texture can actually be used. A screenshot of what I'm trying to achieve can be found here: http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6338 Ideally, Heathrow would have all solid stripes as well instead of the 3-aim-2-2 setup it currently has, but I want to make sure I have this correct first. Right now I have this in rwy_prec.cxx, but there are a couple things I'm not sure about. Does airport_id get passed down into this subroutine from build.cxx? Am I calling airport_id correctly if it is? And did I even define texture_name correctly? Any help would be appreciated. // Check to see if ICAO code merits UK-style aiming stripe // Otherwise, load normal aiming stripe string texture_name = "aim"; if(airport_id.substr(1,2) == "EG") { texture_name = "aim_uk"; } // // Aiming point // start1_pct = end1_pct; end1_pct = start1_pct + ( 400 / length ); gen_runway_section( rwy_info, runway_a, start1_pct, end1_pct, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, rwy_info.heading, material, texture_name, rwy_polys, texparams, accum ); start2_pct = end2_pct; end2_pct = start2_pct + ( 400 / length ); gen_runway_section( rwy_info, runway_b, start2_pct, end2_pct, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, rwy_info.heading + 180.0, material, texture_name, rwy_polys, texparams, accum ); Cheers John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
