The property browser attaches listeners to all entries of a shown property branch/dir, and those listeners update the visible entry. As we know, "tied" properties don't trigger listeners when they aren't written to by means of SGPropertyNode methods. Most properties used by JSBSim are "tied", so they don't automatically update in fgfs 0.9.10' browswer. You can enforce that by clicking on the "." entry. > Is there something that I might be doing wrong, or is there a way I > can get it update constantly? Yes. Update to a recent version. The new property browser works after the same principle as the one from 0.9.10, but the XML config file $FG_ROOT/gui/dialogs/property-browser.xml does additionally update every two seconds, so that even for "tied" properties reasonably recent values show up. (var update_interval = 2;). (The old fgfs has this dialog hard-coded, so there's no XML dialog to add the feature.) Normally you can download development versions here: ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Win32/, but the site seem to be down ATM. You have to make sure that you are using CVS/data of about the same time as the executable. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
