Hello everyone, several days ago, I posted on the FlightGear forum a message to announce the release of the alpha version of Fly! Legacy, the open source flight simulator: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9423
As I said, it is still needed to own Fly! II to have Fly! Legacy working correctly because it remains some dependencies, but the remaining work is huge. As I am not developer of the project and so, I don't know all the technical details, I would like to know if someone would agree to contact by email the two main developers to discuss with them about the elements of FlightGear which could be integrated, in order to allow Fly! Legacy to be 100% independent. Moreover, it would be interesting to discuss about the technical choices made by FlightGear about precise points, for example, the resolution of generic textures. Please contact me if you want to have the email addresses of the developers. Currently, here are the last blocking points: A) The navigation objects, airports, nav, ils, ndb, waypoint. There are coming from the Terminal Reality 's databases. However, we may use the last DAFIF data published in 2007 B) Generic textures. There are about a thousand of textures which belong to Terminal Reality. Nevertheless, How In The World provided some free ones but that won't be enough C) Elevations are from Terminal Reality too. In this case, I think we may use the SRTM data. D) Coasts are from Terminal Reality files E) Same thing for the taxiways of the airports My club created a bunch of taxiways, I suppose we could integrate some but the number will be limited and restricted mainly to France F) The Cessna 172 (texture, sounds, and so on...) is from Terminal Reality Apparently, a new aircraft has been created from scratch by some members of the team, but I don't have more details yet. G) For the 3D objects, the situation is mixed. Except from the Terminal Reality's sceneries, the other are from 3rd party with a mix with ROTW sceneries (my group) which use 3D objects created by other users. Thank you for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
