There's not a screen-saver mode, as such, but you could script an 
entire flight using nasal.

It would be possible to set up an aircraft so that once FG was 
started with that particular aircraft, the a/c would take-off, 
fly around, manuevour and then land, without you having to touch 
anything.

Is it possible to run FGFS as a screen saver? I think prerecorded
flights would make a really interesting screen saver. At our local EAA
meetings (chapter13) they sometimes do slide shows before the meeting
and I always thought having FGFS up there might be cool. Either a screen
saver mode or a really long recorded demo would fit the bill.

Not shown at all, so far as I can see.

That's pretty cool! it's pretty harmless though, isn't it? also,
when people want to see others' action a lot, and one is lazy to do
takeoffs/landings all the time, this can be a nice alternative
to the boring AIs in single-player --- fly a nice circuit one time,
and loop it via the network to the others.

I wonder if during the replay the others' positions is shown current
(i.e., wherever they're during the replay), as it were during the original
play, or not shown at all (which would be my bet)?

[Flightgear-devel] One bug with multiplayer...

2005-07-16 Thread Pigeon

Hi,

I've been trying to track down a bug with sometimes players
(aircrafts) not being shown even it's getting udp packets correctly.


What I've found out so far is that if someone logs off, then whoever
logins using the same aircraft model will simply not appear in fgfs
(those who has got the logged off event).


There could be something to do with the model loading and cleaning
up code in MPPlayer::LoadModel() and MPPlayer::Close() in
src/MultiPlayer/mpplayer.cxx? Unfortunately I don't know anything about
simgear/plib...


On a side note, while testing the multiplay mode, robitabu on
#flightgear irc and I have discovered the "Instant Replay" is also sent
to all other players. Kind of a nice "feature" when you want to show
people stuff, but also probably something you don't want all the time...
:)


Pigeon.
