Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear v0.0.9-pre3 xglobe licence issue
2005/11/11, Erik Hofman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There's one thing I really like to see solved preferably before 0.9.9 (but it is a must for 1.0) and that's the sun/moon azimuth calculation code to be replaced. If you are talking about code from xglobe ( src/Time/sunpos.cxx, moonpos.cxx) , which licence is quite problematic, I hope it would be solved as soon as possible. This licence issue causes that FG is not included in box SuSE Linux. If fixed, it can be distributed within next SuSE release. Is it a problem to substitute the code with this http://home.cs.tum.edu/~roalter/libAstronomy/ ? Regards Ladislav Michnovic.

I now have a fully working version without any of the affected code, just a routine which was written by Curtis anyhow. How should we proceed at this point; add it prior to 0.9.9, or add it for 1.0 and provide a patch for 0.9.9?

I got lost in the mass of 3D vector stuff that was working out how to light the scene and shift the skyglobe based on knowledge (from Xearth) of what point on earth had the sun directly overhead! I got as far as replacing the Xearth stuff with a simple get the sun's alt and azim for a given place on earth routine, but couldn't untangle the rest. I shall go hang my head in shame somewhere quiet Steve ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

I think I have a lucky day today to discover how simple it could be done. Let me emphasize that I really appreciate it that you took the time to look after it.

Erik, If you could run the clock forward a year or two or five or 10 and verify that the new code matches the results of the existing code within acceptable tolerences, then I think I'd be ok with sneaking it into v0.9.9 Curt. -- Curtis Olsonhttp://www.flightgear.org/~curt HumanFIRST Program http://www.humanfirst.umn.edu/ FlightGear Project http://www.flightgear.org Unique text:2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
