[Flightgear-devel] Black sky with CVS version

2003-07-21 Thread Lawrence Manning
Hi,

Running latest CVS now (well, as of yesterday).  Flying 747 out of default 
airport.  I did not know autopoilot could take off.  No idea if this is a 
designed feature, but it is nice.

After flying around for a little while to look at the Golden Gate Bridge 
(VERY nice), I paused to take some screenshots with the outside view.  
Upon restarting with P, everything went black.  Everything, that is, 
except for the hud.  Switching to outside views showed everything except 
the tower view to be completely black.  Zooming etc showed nothing except 
the hud.  Interestingly, the tower view appeared ok, *except* for the 
space between the clouds being black (looked kind of freaky...)  Anyone 
seen this?  Is it worth syncing to the latest code?  Wild guess, but could 
this be related to the replay code?

Lawrence

There is a bug.  I've noticed this from time to time lately, but haven't had a
chance to track it down.  It's been there for a two or three weeks now. It
isn't any one aircraft or fdm involved,  but there are a few things I've
noticed might be pattern related:

1) The tile loader blows up.

2) The viewer seems to be broken recently (pause screws up something).

3) The failure could be happening with autothrottle engaged.

In any case I'll investigate further, if anyone has more info it would be
appreciated.

Best,

Jim

OK I've submitted a patch for this.  The view damping still seems to cause
some issues on pause.  The blacked sky is fixed though.

Best,

Jim

I noticed that the lat and lon were getting corrupted (nans) so the tiles 
couldn't be found and the same time relative (to loc) views were getting 
screwed.  Monitoring a plot in Atlas showed this too.

I haven't tried the patch yet so you've probably already figured this:)
