If one of the developers is bored (and feels like it) it might well be it gets included within a week. Otherwise it could take up as long as several years. If you need it (soon), you will have to develop it yourself though (and get a few geek points as a bonus).

[Flightgear-devel] South Yorkshire Air Museum simulator day
It was a fun day, and seemed to generate quite a lot of interest, probably because it was something a bit "different". Kids and adults alike thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and I did manage to tear myself away to get a few photos: http://photos.stockill.org.uk/c278469.html This one isn't complete yet (they have all the components, but sadly haven't finished re-assembling it after it was delivered), but ultimately it should be up and running: http://photos.stockill.org.uk/p7303595.html There was a lot of interest in flightgear from the museum staff, and it's possible that I'll be helping install something more permanent at some point in the future. -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Pics would be useful, but we also need to know which model and any sqn markings they would like. I've nearly finished the Spitfire, including some fancy exhaust smoke on start-up, so I'm pretty much ready to move onto a Seafire. I'm also getting ready to start on the Hurricane.

BTW, I'm also back ... so guys, prepare for another bunch of daily 100 kbytes "messages" :-) P.S.: Erik, I don't seem to have received a reply to my last eMail from you, just tell me if you need more clarification - otherwise some of the questions that I asked are still left open and I would like to get definite feedback regarding the probability for acceptance of my code modifications for the official CVS version - still aiming at adding CBT related funcitonality to FlightGear.

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear logged its first real flight !
Good day, 1 hour and 53 minutes to be precise. 7 landings and on round trip LFBR - LFCG. My handhelp GPS was conected to my laptop. A tiny programme received (and recorded for replay) GPS data stream at 1HZ, guessed the most probable A/C attitude and sent it to Flight Gear. Then a modified FlightGear FDM receives the GPS data (A/C position, altitude and attitude guessed) and interpolates at 120 Hz between two GPS updates in order to have a fluid display. Flight Gear display was configured to have only the front outside view with a customized HUD. The result was as expected : as good as flight gear ! I've video taped the real flight and I can replay the FGFS display. I'll will try to make a videomontage but it will take some time as I don't have any video tools on my PC. (If someone is familiar with video montage I can sent him my rush) I'm also afraid their will be a lot of information on a very small sceen : I catched the entired real front panel -1/3- and the outside view -2/3- to get the real horizon. While playing my vdo tape back home, I noticed the real horizon was foggy and the real rwy was very smal while on final. Anyway, I'll try to do something with this tape.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Multiple instruments and systems, and configuration of these
På Sat, 07 Aug 2004 09:49:22 +0200, skrev Roy Vegard Ovesen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, I've looked through the TODO comments in the source code for the instrumentation and the systems, and would like to start implementing some/all/even more of them. That is unless someone else is already doing that. The two main things to add are: 1) Multiple instruments and systems, the ability to have several airspeed indicators, altimeters, pitot systems, static systems, etc. 2) XML configuration file to select what instruments and systems would be available for that particular aircraft. If someone else is already implementig these features, please let me know. Comments are welcome! I've implemented this now, but because of the pendig new release it will not be put in CVS until after the release. By using two configuration files, one for systems and one for instrumentation, one can configure the systems and instrumentation individually for every aircraft. One can have several instances of the same instrument or system. One can also give the instances an arbitrary name (the airspeed indicator could be called "speedometer" etc.). This of course has breakage of the instruments (and probably a bunch of other things) written all over it, so I've created two generic configuration files that configures the systems and instrumentation exactly as they were hardcoded. Here is an extract from "generic-instrumentation.xml" adf 0 airspeed-indicator 0 /systems/pitot /systems/static Notice that one can configure wich pitot-and static-port the airspeed- indicator uses. This of course has to correspond to a pitot-and static-port configured in the "systems.xml" configuration file. The number tag is to distinguish several instances with identical names. I've noticed some changes recently to the systems and the instrumentation. David Culp has created a new subsystem class and Melchior Franz has done some changes to the adf class in the instrumentation folder. To avoid doing duplicate work and potentially conflicting work, I strongly suggest that we synchronize our efforts. I believe David has mentioned that he wants to be able to have several subsystems. I think that should be simple to do now that I've done it to the other systems. Melchior seems to have started migrating stuff from the cockpit subdir to the instrumentation subdir. This should also be made configurable, just like the stuff that's already in instrumentation. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-devel] In-cabin engine and ATC volume.
Hi all, I've taken some steps to try and correct the problem of ATC being too quiet (and effectively inaudiable) in comparison to the engine noise. ATC is now re-enabled by default. The ATIS voice has been normalised to 0dB (considerably louder - the original was a somewhat quiet recording). Possibly more controversially, I've lowered the in-cabin engine and wind noise of the default plane for now. This is experimental, and can be reverted if folk object! I'd be interested in opinions on how the relative engine and ATC volumes should sound in a real-life GA plane, both with and without headphones. I'd also be interested in whether people who have never been able to hear the ATIS voice audiably (David M) can now hear it? Simply switch 118.85 from standy to active on comm1 and you should hear it. Only base needs updating - there's no code changes. Finally, is there a way to make an operation dependent on two properties in an xml sound file? - I'd like to make a further drop in engine volume dependent on both /sim/current-view/internal AND /sim/general/headphones (or something like that) being true.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Radio Hardware.
manuel, it would make sense for the sim to support a "pub-sub" framework. centralizing the messaging would be a way of 1) makeing sure that this wheel doesn't get re-invented too often and 2) make sure that the performance hit takes place only once as well. i STILL haven't dug into the code too deeply (because i STILL haven't finished setting up Kdevelop because i STILL haven't installed alll of the packages it needs...). but... i'd think that somewhere inside here there's a orimary loop that controls when stuff gets rendered onscreen, which seems like it would have been a good place to manage other real-time like things. somewhere in here it might be nice to place a trigger for messaging. would you know of something like this hiding in the code somewhere? martin --- Manuel Bessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 01, 2004 at 05:46:27PM -0700, martin pardee wrote: > > manuel, > > > > it's good of you to answer me. i take some conmfort from knowing that there > are > > others engaged in this activity. i fell a little less like a reclusive nut > case > > :) > > > > i was wondering if you had an approach to interfacing to the FG sim. since > it's > > obvious that you and Stephen are pretty deep into this, it seems that you > must > > also have tackled the interface work as well. i am guessing that you are > NOT > > using a telnet connection to the sim. > > No, I'm not.
