Please, every situation does not have to be the end of the world. Personally I have to chuckle quietly (just a bit) when I see we have this problem of two people working on the same aircraft. That's a problem born out of the success of the FlightGear project. Years ago, we only had a very small number of people working on a very small number of aircraft. That was a much bigger problem ... but something we addressed by tirelessly working towards building the FlightGear project into what it is today ... not perfect of course, not finished of course, but something that commands a significant attention and respect from many different fields. I think we are always going to have problems, but I would prefer the problems of success over the problems of no success. I see no need to panic here, no need to raise a shrill tone, start a flame war ... come on guys! I know everyone is wired a little bit differently, but not every situation is needs to be dealt with as a 9-1-1 panic emergency. This is starting to get ridiculous. FlightGear is supposed to be a fun project. A few of you guys are giving me gray hairs! Stop it! I've already got enough of them from being married!

Perhaps someone could enlighten us? The new 3d clouds have potentially lots of good features like rain and turbulence, but I'm not sure we use them. When I first incorporated Mark's code, was unable to get my head around how to add objects to the plib scenegraph and with the help and patience of Curtis and others was finally able to get something working. However it was no where near the best solution, but we lived with it. When a new developer provided an integrated plib solution with a different cloud rendering approach, the hack was moved to the attic. Having reduced the entire 747 project down to two PCs (one for the cockpit and one for the Flightgear scenery on three projectors) was thinking of a third machine to produce enviromental effects, like a wind field using smoothed metar data to avoid the artifical shearing when changing stations, real-time cloud generation based on atmospheric conditions, improved earth/gravity model using Bessel functions, moving the AI to a dedicated machine and using the MP service, etc, etc. lots of ideas, very little time.

[Flightgear-devel] Update to the MSVC8 Build System
Hi, A major update to the MSVC8 build system. Updated 3rdParty libpng-1.2.18 and to the OpenSceneGraph 2.0, released today. Noteworthy: The patch fgpatch.diff supplied detects whether the Low Fragmentation Heap (LFH) is available and enables it. This increases framerates about 10% for me. (LFH is available on W2K SP4 Update1, XP and up). http://www.oflebbe.de/FlightGear Cheers, Olaf - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Flightgear-devel] [RFC]: Fix and changes to Generic/aar.nas and AAR changes to Harrier to follow AITanker.cxx
Hi,
In the process of fixing the Generic aar.nas and also the Harrier I
propose this changes:
a) Generic/aar.nas fixed to follow AITanker.cxx
b) Added /systems/refuel/serviceable (bool) for those aircraft having a
particular condition to refueling like hose door or refuel boom. This
props would be set by the model and checked by aar.nas.
c) Harrier now use Aircraft/Generic/aar.nas and no longer use harrierAAR.nas
d) Harrier handle the boom option in a new script I called controls.nas.
Modified files:
---
Aircraft/Generic/aar.nas
Aircraft/harrier/harrier-set.xml
Deleted file:
-
Aircraft/harrier/harrierAAR.nas
New file:
-
Aircraft/harrier/controls.nas
This changes shouldn't (?) brake anything, but I would like this
to be double checked before asking for commit.

Ho, sorry, I forgot to comment the debug prints in aar.nas lines 70 75:

[Flightgear-devel] MP AAR reports
hi, I tested successfully MP AAR with the A-10 and the (patched) Harrier.

[Flightgear-devel] OpenSceneGraph 2.0
Just a thought for the rest of the list. Now that OpenSceneGraph-2.0 has been released, what are the thoughts on setting that as a fixed dependency for now (i.e., future development should work on OpenSceneGraph-2.0). With one of the latest patches to the plib branch in CVS, FlightGear still compiles with plib-1.8.4 which is included in many Linux distributions. I have a feeling that OSG 2 will soon be the version of OSG available in many Linux distributions. Having OSG support just _work_ would allow developers to focus on FlightGear without also having to keep up with the latest daily developments in OSG.

Our approach with plib is that if we absolutely must depend on something in cvs, we push the plib folks hard to get that into an official release first, then we cut over and allow our code to depend on it. This is not without headaches, but it's worked pretty well for us in the past.

Olaf Flebbe wrote: Him If I remember correctly, Aerotro discovered these kind of bugs have been only in the WIndows/plib code (both in the build 1 supplied by Fred Bouvier and a build I offered a few weeks before). The OSG build seems to be fine. So I would suggest: The plib branch is broken. Cheers, Olaf Hey folks. It's time for me to be em-bare-assed. The pointmass problem was real... for an older version of the source (an issue for which I must have skipped the discussion). My problem wasn't that I had out-of-date source but that I wasn't getting my newly built executable in the right place. VC8 provides for post-build actions, such as copying your new executable to the proper place. I had studiously set that feature up to copy the exe to a stale directory.

I haven't had a working flightgear for about a month because OSG-SVN/head quit building for me.
