[Flightgear-devel] Autopilot bug?
Hi, I have tried the altitude and heading hold features of the autopilot (ctrl-A and ctrl-H with arrow keys or F11 autpilot dialog box). They work very well with j3cub aircraft but with the default cessna 172 either of them don't work at all. I suppose this is a bug. -Timo ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

The particular autopilot included with the default C172 (KAP-140) must be operated by clicking on the panel buttons.

Of course it would be nice to get some kind of message that you must operate the panel with mouse instead of the standard keyboard shortcuts. -Timo ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-devel] Problem with airport ENSB
Hi, Trying to start the Flightgear 0.9.8 with Svalbard airport ENSB (78 15 N - 15 30 E) the aircraft ends up to sea. I have correctly downloaded the tile and extracted it to correct location (Scenery/Terrain/e010n70). The Svalbard island can be seen east from the airplane. The other airports seem to work fine. -Timo ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-devel] BoF Meeting about FGFS next week, in Anaheim California
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix05/bofs.html Title: Adapting the FlightGear Flight Simulator - Customizing your Cockpit Name: John Wojnaroski Affil: FlightGear project, Developer eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Room: Salon 3, Tuesday April 12, 7pm to 8pm Site: Marriott Anaheim, 700 West Convention Way, Anaheim, CA 92802-3483. Within walking distance of Disneyland and California Adventure Parks. The 747 Simulator was a big hit at the recent SCALE3x expo held in Februrary. Integrating the best from the open source community with hardware has proved to be a daunting task. The author walks you through the steps and thinking behind the design decisions and details the integration of the hardware and software. Curt: Could you add this to the events page please ? ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-devel] property control question
The Superfort's flaps and gear are electrically powered, and the controls for both are instantaneous switches. ie. you have to hold the switch the whole cycle to keep the motor running. Can anyone think of a way to do this? For all I can tell, there's no way to tell YASim to stop the flaps anywhere but a detent, and I don't want to have to define 30 or 40 detents just to simulate a smooth action that can be stopped anywhere. As for the gear, I suppose there is a way to get Nasal to slowly change gear-pos-norm and then flip the gear extended property once they are fully extended, but I haven't figured it out yet. Also, I need to find a way to block gear commands that are defined in custom keyboard.xml and joystick files, but the only way I can think of requires that I know what input is tied to the command, which I won't unless it happens not to be a custom setup.

[Flightgear-devel] b-29 alpha
Ok, I finally got some sort of flying FDM working, so here it is in all of its alpha glory: http://home.comcast.net/~jrbabcock/superfort/b29.tgz Be warned, racy but authentic nose art (she's clothed, but you have to look hard to see it). Other versions to follow, probably 'Enola Gay', 'Fifi', and something from the Korean war. The others should all be kid safe, but for now 'Lucky Lady' is motivating me :) Comments appreciated.
