Well I wasnt trying to start a war here ,simply trying to get my Primus 1000 system updated, but groundspeed is calculated in the source code , and since its been requested before , I thought it might be a good idea to show it in the property tree...

Groundspeed is groundspeed. There's only one proper definition of groundspeed. An _approximation_ to groundspeed in terms of the rate of slant range made good to/from a navaid is sometimes encountered, for example in a _DME_ unit. This is considered a nonideality of the DME system, not a redefinition of groundspeed. This nonideality is never AFAIK exhibited by GPS or RADAR units. Every GPS and every RADAR I've ever seen or heard of, when asked to report groundspeed, reports honest-to-goodness groundspeed, independent of any route, independent of the relationship between the ground track and this-or-that navaid. > > , so it is only > > accurate if you are flying directly toward that point... But a /velocities/groundspeed could be > > used as a starting point ... It takes only a couple of lines of nasal to calculate the groundspeed in terms of the already-available properties. Hint: Aircraft/A-10/Nasal/aar.nas line 261 ... so I don't understand what the discussion is about. The Subject: line refers to groundspeed. If you want to ask about something else, perhaps about ETE or ETA at this-or-that station, then the answer might become route-dependent. (Different questions have different answers!)

[Flightgear-devel] Fresh A-6 Intruder snapshot with Terrain Clearance Radar
hi all, I just uploaded a tarball of the current A-6 developpement: http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/A-6A/A-6E.20070529.tgz The Terrain Clearance Radar is a brand new feature in FGFS. Actually setting a range > 1.5 mile makes FGFS crash when using OSG, but the feature is usable and interesting anyway. I have to think about some details before asking to commit this snap shoot. At the beginning I planned to model an A6-E and now I discover that I'm modeling an A-6A (if we take in account which features were available in each type of A-6). Please read README.news, there are, at its beginning, a few words about the radar display controls.

Im also trying to do a 2d radar panel , using the radar x-shift and y-shift , which of coarse need scaling ... can scaling use a property ?

Indeed and that's what the warning is for; the author should fix the sound configuration file. Hi Maik, I do see your point, these scrolling warnings slow down FlightGear and are annoying. But I'm more with Erik on this one. These warnings indicate there is a serious problem in how the author configured the sound effects for their model and they are not getting the audio output that they expected. Ideally the aircraft author would fix the sound effects configuration so the results are in the allowable range.

Only the 2501 without turbojets was used for military transports.

I did noticed mainly some malfunctions of the autopilot when using FG cvs HEAD branch, though seemed working when using PRE_OSG_PLIB_20061029, which don't mean it is fully working on that branch We have had modifications and improvements regarding Nasal, from 0.9.10 to 0.9.11 pre1 Concorde is using a lot of Nasal scripts. Does not these differences could explain that strange behaviour? That video shows that we have inconsistencies in the data when operating to land.

If I remember rightly, I had this issue in plib once, and I found it was caused by a render option - but I cannot remember which one. Try turning on/off the sky/cloud rendering options.

I don't think we have such an easy migration up the weight classes here in the U.K. - at best I think I would get 10 hours "credit". ___ Inbox full of unwanted email?
