Re: [Flightgear-devel] End of /steam approaches

Hi,
I have some question.

I'm missing spin property in attitude-indicator property list. It isn't there?

I also want to ask if it is possible visualize hotspots, I remember that I 
read some plans about it.

Thanks,
Madr

It's showing up for me.  Do you have the latest CVS code?


All the best,

Thanks.  Please look especially carefully at the magnetic compass -- I
tried to copy your algorithm, but I'm not sure that all the
acceleration and turning errors made it through.

  It's now up to y'all that fly non-C172 aircraft to make more
  instruments.

Note that I'm modelling instruments logically.  For example, the turn
coordinator is actually two separate instruments, a turn gyro and a
slip-skid ball, so each of those has its own C++ module.  Some of the
higher-end instruments such as the HSI and RMI are simply combinations
of simpler functions, though some day we will actually want to model
the slaved unit for the HSI instead of just giving the actual magnetic
heading reliably; others, like IFR GPS's and glass cockpits, will
require a lot of custom coding, and I'm wondering if we should wait
until scripting support stabilizes.


All the best,


David

Hmmm, It is there, but I'm still missing it in coments in .hxx file

And what about action hot-spots visualization?

Thank,

Martin,

Typing Ctrl-C will toggle hot spots on and off.  This appears to work
in both 2d and 3d panels.

Regards,

Curt.

Thanks

Only one small note to David. Shouldn't be gui directory in base package 
named Gui. All other directories start with capital letter.

 All of the properties originally set by the FGSteam module in the

 instrumentation modules. 

and there was much rejoicing though out the skies :-)

 I'd like to take a moment to thank Alex Perry for the original FGSteam
 module, 

Yes many thanks,  Alex built a very nice data 'munger'

 He is the one
 who has been urging me to dump FGSteam now,

As I am sure every one knows all too well I have been advocating 'dumping' 
the hardwired steam module for a set of togleable tunable filters since the 
day 'steam' appeared

Hopefully we can now actually start implementing a realistic 'navigation computer',
as is present in most modern GPS units and autopilots that, since the hopefully the
AP is no longer dependent on hardwired to steamed input from C172 instrumentation

Glad to see 'you all' eventually came around :-)

(blush)

 Please everyone (especially Alex) give all of these a good workout
 before I remove steam.[ch]xx from the CVS repository.

Let's cut out the suspense and just pull it anyway; if there is a dependency,
it's not as if it'll difficult to yank the source back into place again.
