Hmm, I've just tested a current CVS checkout on a Debian system and it seems to
work OK. Please forgive some of the next questions if they seem too simple!
Have you swapped 119.0 into the active frequency on comm1 after setting it?
Does the ATC text display work on your system? Tune comm1 to 119.0 (or any
towered airport in range) and press the ' key to contact ATC. If you are tuned
into a towered airport you should see a dialog box come up offering 'Contact
tower for VFR arrival' as one of the options. Press OK for contact tower for
VFR arrival - you should see your transmission ("This is Golf Foxtrot
Sierra..." etc) near the top of the screen.
Is the AI system activating properly? If you compile FG yourself, then
uncomment line 188 in src/ATC/AIMgr.cxx to leave
cout << activated.size() << '\n';
This should output a number every frame which gradually increments to 6 (if you
start at KSFO) over the course of 10 seconds or so. (It's the number of
airports with AI traffic arrivals activated).
The GA AI traffic is often very hard to see. It is removed from the runway at
the end of roll-out, so won't be seen in the parking areas, and often looks
like a hard to see dot when in the air. I'll put a couple of screenshots up
when I get a chance. Sitting at the approach end of the runway (on the taxiway
or apron otherwise they'll go around) and watching them land is the best way to
watch them in action.
I can't really think of anything else at the moment, unless it's something to
do with random number generation differences between machines or compiler
versions, since the traffic is all generated randomly. I'm compiling with
gcc-3.3.
Cheers - Dave
