Re: [Flightgear-devel] Blender 2.43 released

I use scons for it and this makes building quite simple. (cmake didn't work for me last time I tried.) All you should have to do is install scons (http://www.scons.org/; doesn't seem to be contained on the SuSE DVD), and to run it. Maybe you'd have to install some missing libs from the DVD, but there are no special requirements IIRC.

Tried again, and I only had to fix the freetype path to make it work. cmake is on the SuSE DVD or available here: http://www.cmake.org/. Assuming that you have your Blender source in ~/src/blender/blender/, then you would do ... $ cd ~/src/blender $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake ../blender $ ccmake ../blender ... change FREETYPE_INC to /usr/include/freetype2 ... $ make cmake detected Python 2.5 correctly. make runs through without problems here.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Connecting to FG
Hi Pep. Regarding your second problem: You said you're using Fedora 6. This OS has iptables (firewall) started when the system boots, by default. Maybe iptables is the reason you're not able to connect to your sever. In order to solve you can: - Deactivate iptables: service iptables stop OR - Open the right port in the firewall. To do this, add the following rule in /etc/sysconfig/iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 5400 -j ACCEPT PS: Please, check the right chain name Then service iptables restart Pep Ribal wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to make a simple application that just retrieves the FG status via the property tree. What I've done: I've started FG with the option --props=5400; I've startet a successful telnet session in the same host, and everything works fine. But I can't manage to make an app that does this connection. I create a socket. Then, the 'connect' call works fine. Then I use a 'write' call to send the string ls to FG. I've tried help and ls\n as well. They both work fine. But then I call 'read' (to see the help/ls results), and nothing is actually read: the program just blocks there without continuing execution. So I assume everything is working fine, except that I'm not using the protocol properly to retrieve information. I suppose FG is not giving information because I don't know how to ask him. What am I doing wrong? There is a second problem, related to my lack of knowledge of Linux server configuration: When I try to telnet FG from a foreign computer of the LAN, it just keeps saying Trying 192.168.1.3..., so I think I need to configure the computer where FG is running so that it accepts the telnet request. How can I do it? I'm running Fedora 6. Thanks. Pep. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I will try a build with scons tomorrow evening and hope a new build will be possible even for me :-). As always, feedback will be given - good or bad - for you and all lurkers who might also be interested in that stuff. In the worst case (if that fails and if you trust me :-), then I could still send you the compiled binary. But this would be a 32bit version. Of course I trust you but luckily I already got a working binary from a member of the German Blender Forum where I posted that problem http://blendpolis.serverpool.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=12450 This binary works without any problem using *many* scripts but not with all, so I am still interested to build my own version as said before. Especially I am interested in the Blender Caliper Measure script which runs up with this binary and accepts all inputs but crashes when I hit the button Measure. Do you have Caliper installed? If yes, does it work together with Python 2.5? Just curious about. Anyway, thank you once again for your help which is also an investment into my growing 3D objects work for EDDW and Northern Germany as you might have seen in the German FlightGear forum. I can understand all problems new users have with Blender (as I had them myself :-/ ) but once you get a little more familiar with this program just by *using* it a lot you won't give it away anymore. This is not said for you as you know Blender very well but for all others interested in 3D-work but still afraid of this monster. Georg - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] altimeter +- encoder
In the course of fixing up altimeter.cxx, I decided to incorporate all of the features of encoder.cxx. They were so similar in function that it didn't make sense to maintain two of them. In particular, -- The basic altimeter is also an encoding altimeter. If you don't want the encoding function, ignore the encoded outputs. -- If you want a blind encoder, just get rid of the front-panel display and keep the rest. Also I made it so that the response time of the low-pass filter can be tuned at configuration time, in the instrumentation.xml file. Also, encoders typically quantize the pressure altitude. This is now configurable in the instrumentation.xml file. Here's an example of how you might configure an encoder: altimeter nameencoder/name number0/number static-pressure/systems/static/pressure-inhg/static-pressure quantum10/quantum tau0/tau /altimeter Take care to avoid conflicts with the existing encoder in the generic-instrumentation.xml file.

[Flightgear-devel] Zero lag altimeter
Hi, Modern avionics and air data computers provide an instantaneous vertical velocity and altimeter. Is there a property/variable in flightgear that does not contain the lag present in simple baro systems? I'm under the impresssion that the property called environment/pressure-inhg[0] has a lag computed into the final value. Is that correct or is that the instantaneous value or pressure level the aircraft is at and what I'm looking for? Thanks John W - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
