Re: [Flightgear-devel] Bug in mp-visibility of planes?
Hi Fred,
Before I check in that.
I know Olaf has an improoved timestamping implementation for win32.
Did he already send that to you?

This is just perfect for beginners. The solution for me is to give the changed *-set.xml file together with the upcoming sceneries, so people can copy it into the SG 2-33 folder. Generally spoken, it would be a good idea for the *future* that we could have several instances of an aircraft. Today we have to copy all the stuff belonging to the aircraft to get two slightly different ones. That is not the solution. But if we just could have a second "Schweizer" folder with a changed *-set.xml file and all other (unchanged) files from the original Schweizer folder are referenced then we could have two aircraft entries in our FG aircraft list - "Schweizer Demonstrator" and "Schweizer" :-) > >> Problem Nr 3: >> The 3d aircraft is not visible from inside.

But I have still to ask whether it could be done without big work for you to display the parts of the existing Schweizer *.ac 3-d model from the inside view (pilot view). If I look at the a/c in Blender I can see that there are even seats, pedals, a stick-handle and a panel (with a decorating graphic). http://home.arcor.de/vollnhals-bremen/Soaring/SchweizerInnen.jpg There are still some other aircraft in our FG hangar without 3-d-panel (only 2d) but you can see the 3-d-aircraft parts when you move your view, the 2d-panel disappears until you get your view back to the front. Could that be done with the Schweizer the same way? Or is it a real *big* part of work to get this "inside" views? >> Problem Nr 4: >> The windshield yaw-string moves only a little in normal flight, even >> heavily uncoordinated one.

[Flightgear-devel] Scheduling tile at bogous lon and lat = (-1000, 0)
Hi, I have checked in something that I expect fixes that problem with "Scheduling tile at bogous lon and lat = (-1000,0)" Since I still cannot reproduce that. Can you help me and report if that message is gone with your favourite reproducable testcase. Thanks! Mathias - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

No, one per gear. You can map them to different properties. For example, map the rear gear to /controls/flight/rudder, but use the src/dst mapping to invert the sense. > The second aspect of the problem is that I can't find a > reference property to use.

The default controls only give you aileron, elevator, rudder, throttle, mixture and advance as actual control axes. You can wire up a key mapping or cockpit control to drive any other property you want, of course, or you can modify your personal joystick mappings to redirect an unused axis (the Saitek robo-sticks tend to have a few rotary dials available, for example). Note, by the way, that the STEER input is in radians (1 radian ~= 53 degrees). Andy - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[Flightgear-devel] YASim feature request
Probably one for Andy... I've been messing about with the B-52F and I've hit a problem with landing in cross-winds. The real a/c has steering on both front and rear sets of wheels so that it can make a crabbed landing and this is where the first aspect of the problem lies - there only seems to be a single STEER control axis available. The second aspect of the problem is that I can't find a reference property to use. Perhaps there's already something there and I'm not aware of it but even if there is, how would I relate it to the normalised steering control input? Basically, I think I need to know the yaw-degrees and be able to set two independent steering control axis in degrees. Actually, I guess a yaw-norm would work ok with two steering-norms...

Hi Curt, I use a Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar. But the config file is still rudimentary (roll, pitch and thrust). I can ask Mathias for checking it into CVS.
