[Flightgear-devel] Livery select not working?

2007-12-11 Thread Detlef Faber
Helo everybody,

I rebuild FlightGear cvs today and noticed that livery select doesn't
work. I've checked the bf109, b1900, S-76, bo105, ec135 and the
lightning. The lightning shows the different colors on it's back, but no
change in textures, similar is the bo105, here is no emblem visible at
all. The other aircraft just stay as they are. The Variant properties
are entered correct.

I haven't checked fg plib. I'm on Gentoo Linux, OSG 2.0, CVS source and
data of this morning.

 I was flying a jet and trying to find the reverse thruster key combo's by 
 looking through the docs and never did find it. It might be a good idea for 
 that to be in the aircraft help file of all the planes that have thrust 
 reversers.  
 
 The only aircraft I did that have reversers are the Cessna Citations , and I 
 use the Delete key to toggle reverse thrust ... I'm not sure what other 
 aircraft use ..
 Cheers
   
 
How does one map it to joystick correctly? I didn't find anything in
controls.nas or aircraft.nas for it

[Flightgear-devel] FGCOM: attn Holger, KNID TWR not in the phone book :/

2007-12-11 Thread alexis bory
Hi holger,

My favorite place, and also one of the nicest airfield in
California doesn't appear in phonebook.txt.
It's KNID, China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station.

Here some screenshot of this place:
http://croo.murgl.org/fgfs/scenery/index.html

This airport could be included in the next scenery build
and, I hope, could become an alternative to KSFO for
military aircraft users in Flightgear. So a working ATC
would help a lot :)

Is it possible for you to add it in the list ?

 I get the same kind of problem, recently, was working before,
 the system override the throttle initialization value which is within
 the -set.xml file.
 And, me too, i solve it with  my system.nas

I  am coming back on  something which could be a bug (may be i am wrong).

As said previously, with YASim, i try to give an init value within the 
Aircraft-set.xml file 

controls  
engines
engine n=0
magnetos0/magnetos
throttle1/throttle
/engine
/engines
/controls

After startup the throttle value is set to Zero  instead of the required 
value 1  (may be YASim override it)

Does the rule has changed about the hierarchy (during loading and init), does 
Aircraft-set.xml file remains the last taken in account during the 
startupis it a bug ???

Have the taxiway/apron mods for this been submitted to Robin Peel?  The
ground structures and their animations are absolutely fabulous -- nice
work -- but in our current scenery, the hangars etc. are located where
aprons should be but aren't.  I notice they're in the screenshots
above, so I assume someone re-made the scenery with apt.dat changes.
Have they been passed to Robin so they'll be in future generations of
the scenery?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Release update

2007-12-11 Thread Melchior FRANZ
* Durk Talsma -- Tuesday 11 December 2007:
 As it looks right now, either tonight, or Thursday evening will
 be my two windows of opportunity this week.

I would rather go for Thursday, then. It's only known for a short
time which aircraft are planned to go in, and even today and yesterday
there were commits made to them. I could imagine that some want to
make some last fixes and improvements. A release number of 1.0
may not mean much to some people here, but it *does* mean something
for a lot of the people out there, and I expect a lot more attention
to a FlightGear v1.0 release than to a 0.9.11 one. We might get more
reviews in more important places, and it can't hurt to polish some
more. (And I committed a code change yesterday that could still
turn out to have broken something. It would be a disaster if we had
to release 1.1 a week after 1.0.  :-)

Why don't we give us the End of that Year to test fully the release ?

Won't it be a nice new  Gift to have a perfect   FlightGear 1.0  by the next

Thanks Chris,

I did draw those aprons and taxiways and yes, I sent a knid.dat file
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 05/10/2007, but I didn't receive any

 I assume that is because you aren't setting the same engine that you are
 using later! From $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/HUP-Retriever/hup.xml:

  control-input axis=/controls/engines/engine[1]/throttle
 control=COLLECTIVE ^^^

 You probably copied that directly or indirectly from the bo105, where
 this was the case for a long time, too. And I can't remember *why*
 it was that way, but it's now fixed since a half year or something.

 m.

I have this copied from bo105

control-input axis=/controls/engines/engine[0]/throttle 
control=COLLECTIVE

and this within -set.file

controls  
engines
engine n=0
magnetos0/magnetos
throttle1/throttle
/engine
/engines
/controls

where is the error ?

Must be some problem with the generation. KOAK Oakland is in apt.dat,

 The bleriot is very nice, much nicer than the wright. But its FDM
 is a bit ... ummm ... well, the engine is quite powerful and the
 aircraft allows some aerobatics, which the real one probably didn't  ;-)

 m.
 

 About the Bleriot i fully agree with Melchior, the FDM could make laugh 
 versus the Wright,

 However i am sure that somebody, here, very aware with YASim could could give 
 to that wonderful plane an FDM which is at the right level ( roll, lift, 
 engine power, may be drag).


   
I took a look at the bleriot-XI-yasim.xml last night.  The dimensions in 
this file do not match the .ac file.  After some time with google 
looking for specifications, I found a few very good sources.  The wing 
span in the .ac file is for the final configuration, not the channel 
crossing configuration.  The .ac has the 3 cylinder Anzani engine (rated 
23 - 25 hp on various sites at 1450 rpm).  Also the wing incidence in 
the specs is 7 degrees which the yasim solver had a lot of trouble 
doing.  The cruise with this engine was only 36 mph and only 48 with the 
50 hp gnome rotary.  I also found the 22 mile channel crossing took 36.5 
min which implies a 47 mph ground speed (10 mph tail wind perhaps).

Anyway, I was able to get much more realistic performance with some 
experimenting using the above data.  I am not satisfied yet as I still 
cannot get sufficient elevator trim and convergence with the 7 degree 
incidence.  I should have a satisfying config file by this weekend.

I don't want to offend the originator of this beautiful model.  So I 
ask, is it OK to submit a bleriot-XI-yasim.xml file that better matches 
the specifications ?

 In addition to your research , we may notice that the roll was due to a twist 
of the wings (no aileron), which probably did not gave the best control.

[Flightgear-devel] Communicating with IVAO client

2007-12-11 Thread Pep Ribal
I'm developing a client application for the IVAO network. John 
Wojnaroski sent me some time ago a few files to be added/changed in 
Flightgear source code so that FG sends UDP packets to my application.


I've done some changes to these files as well. Now I've changed to 
Fedora 8, and I've made a complete rebuild of Flightgear. With the 
modifiations made with John, FG results in having an option namely --ivao.


With this new build I experience a small problem: as it works perfectly 
well with the --ivao option, sending the right packets, when it comes to 
shutdown FG, an error dump appears in my terminal window. However, if I 
run FG without the --ivao option, no error is produced.


I assume I've made some mistake, as I'm not familiar with FG 
architecture. What I've done exactly is to download the latest stable 
source code (0.9.11), and added/edited these few files before compiling, 
wich I'm attaching in this mail. I've attached as well the terminal 
command-line used and the resulting messages.


If someone could take a look and see if it's a problem in the files, it 
would really help.


Thanks a lot.

Pep Ribal.

[Flightgear-devel] Lynx-WG13

2007-12-11 Thread gerard robin


Hello,

About helicopter, i told that i will deliver one of my old models Lynx-WG13, 
however i had not any snapshot to show you, after some cleaning and update, 
here the rough result.
I will commit it by the end of that week.
Later on, It will want: 
=A good FDM  ( fortunately Maik is there  :) ).
=The real texture.
=A cockpit with instruments ( a long work to do)

Here the snapshots

 * Durk Talsma -- Tuesday 11 December 2007:
  As it looks right now, either tonight, or Thursday evening 
 will be my 
  two windows of opportunity this week.
 
 I would rather go for Thursday, then. It's only known for a 
 short time which aircraft are planned to go in, and even 
 today and yesterday there were commits made to them. I could 
 imagine that some want to make some last fixes and 
 improvements. A release number of 1.0 may not mean much to 
 some people here, but it *does* mean something for a lot of 
 the people out there, and I expect a lot more attention to a 
 FlightGear v1.0 release than to a 0.9.11 one. We might get 
 more reviews in more important places, and it can't hurt to 
 polish some more. (And I committed a code change yesterday 
 that could still turn out to have broken something. It would 
 be a disaster if we had to release 1.1 a week after 1.0.  :-)
 


I still have some tinkering to do on the Seahawk, since it's the first time
this has appeared in the base package - Thursday please.

I couldn't resist having a quick look at it:)

I've attached a config for you to have a look at (tarred  gzip'd)

I took your revised config and changed:

approach aoa - now set to 3 deg - 15 deg value seemed much too high 
and just wouldn't have worked with the u/c configuration.  This is 
probably a bit too low but it's difficult to say with such an early 
and primitive aircraft - movies clips will help here, if any can be 
found.

wing incidence - now set to 7 deg

wing camber - reduced this to 0.1 (from 0.11 - an apparently minor 
change but was needed to solve)

wing aileron controls changed from FLAP0 to FLAP1 (I don't think 
this makes any difference but FLAP0 is normally used for non-split 
controls)

wing aileron drag - increased by 0.1 to 1.5 so that it's greater 
than the lift.

hstab stall aoa - reduced to 9 deg - looking at the design, I 
wouldn't expect much difference in stall behaviour between the 
wings and hstab.

hstab FLAP0 drag - increased by 0.1 to 1.5 so that it's greater than 
the lift.

This solves but I'm not sure if the Drag coefficient and Lift ratio 
are reasonable.  Also, with the wing set at 7 deg incidence, but 
with a  stall aoa of only 8 deg there's only one deg to play with - 
this doesn't seem right so I suspect that both the wing and hstab 
stall aoa settings should be pushed up by a few more degrees.  I'd 
also expect an even greater ratio between the aileron  hstab lift 
 drag values.  The hstab should probably have a camber value too, 
considering it's design.

[Flightgear-devel] Beech 99 3d model revised

2007-12-11 Thread D M
Dear people,
 
I've almost finished up a new 3d model for the Beech 99 since the old one is 
rather old, without animations, windows etc.
I have 1 question however. 
When you start up Flightgear you can select the old Beech 99 2 times. 1 without 
further text and 1 with Yasim.
Which flightmodel should I use for testing etc?
Any more tips?
 
Regards,
 
Dick Maurer

Thank you Vadym for verifying it is not just me. Anybody else getting

 I would rather go for Thursday, then. It's only known for a short
 time which aircraft are planned to go in, and even today and yesterday
 there were commits made to them. I could imagine that some want to
 make some last fixes and improvements. A release number of 1.0
 may not mean much to some people here, but it *does* mean something
 for a lot of the people out there, and I expect a lot more attention
 to a FlightGear v1.0 release than to a 0.9.11 one. We might get more
 reviews in more important places, and it can't hurt to polish some
 more. (And I committed a code change yesterday that could still
 turn out to have broken something. It would be a disaster if we had
 to release 1.1 a week after 1.0.  :-)


Okay, since I've gotten a few requests to roll up the tar files on Thursday, 
let's do that. I usually try to make sure that I'm around for a little while 
after a major commit, in case something goes wrong. Therefore, I will commit 
all the required changes to make the release happen today (makefile, and 
configure stuff), but wait with tagging CVS and rolling up the tar files on 
Thursday.

Cheers,
Durk

You seem to be contradicting yourself here as I believe the latest stable, or 
release, is 0.9.10. Perhaps you mean the 0.9.11-pre1 version. In any case I 
get a similar error and I of course do not have your IVAO code, so it might 
not be your fault after all.

I get it too. Apparently the failed test is on line 216 onwards.
Little debugging shows:

geod0.getLongitudeDeg() - geod1.getLongitudeDeg() = 0
geod0.getLatitudeDeg() - geod1.getLatitudeDeg() = 7.10543e-15
geod0.getElevationM() - geod1.getElevationM() = -1.58479e-10
epsDeg = 2.22045e-15
epsM = 2.22045e-10

So, latitude fails the check.

No idea what it means, though.

Do you need to run a specific make command (like make tests or something) or 
is this part of the regular ./configure ; make ; make install cycle. Just 
wondering, because I don't recall seeing a [check-TESTS] as part of my 
install cycle.

Hi Durk,

I always run
  make check

If it passes, I install it.

Tests are usually there for a reason, to check for regressions, or 
incompatible libraries.

[Flightgear-devel] Problems found in world scenery and SGBucket class

2007-12-11 Thread Christian Buchner
Hi,

In my scenery compression effort (which tries to ship the world scenery on a
single DVD) I've hit some minor snags. I know you guys are busy preparing
the 1.0 release, but nevertheless I would like to put this on the record
to be addressed later on:

I found a few zero length .btg.gz scenery files (in total about a dozen) on
the world DVDs #3 and #4. This would typically only affect users who fly in
Asia (Eastern hemisphere). I wonder if FlightGear will handle it gracefully
if it encounters a tile that it fails to load for this reason.

I found another slight discrepancy when converting back each tile's geodetic
center coordinate to a bucket - this function might be slightly buggy: In a
few cases it returns a different bucket number than given by the original
file name of the tile. I can work around this problem, but I wonder if other
parts of FlightGear might be affected by this bug.

Here's a snippet of code that illustrates how I load a .btg.gz file and used
to generate a bucket from it's geodetic center coordinate:

SGBinObject source;
bool result = source.read_bin(filename);
if (result == true)
{
SGBucket bucket(SGGeod::fromCart(SGVec3double(source.get_gbs_center2
().sg(;

// resulting bucket index does not always match up with the source
tile's file name.
long index = bucket.gen_index();
}

Here is a few sample tiles that after loading return the index shown in the
right hand column.
So for example after loading 2097472.btg.gz from the scenery DVDs (or from
the terrasync mirrors)
and running it through above code snippet, the resulting bucket index will
be 2130240.

\DVD1\Terrain\w060s90\w052s85\2097472.btg.gz: 2097472 =- 2130240
\DVD1\Terrain\w070n80\w068n84\1846160.btg.gz: 1846160 =- 1878928
\DVD1\Terrain\w090s90\w090s86\1474832.btg.gz: 1474832 =- 1507600

You might notice that all of these coordinates appear to be near extreme
North or South latitudes, so this may give a hint what triggers the bug.
Overall I would say this problem affects only a few thousand tiles out of
some 800,000 in total. Listing them all here would get me quickly kicked off
the list though ;)

[Flightgear-devel] Bravo VOR2

2007-12-11 Thread Hans Fugal
Hi, this bug is probably simple to fix though I don't know where to go
to fix it.

When you turn the second knob to VOR2 (corresponding to the white
pointer), it tracks VOR1. This is easy to verify by tuning NAV1
between two VOR stations and watching both the blue and white needles
jump together. Naturally, the white needle should be tracking NAV2.
The other modes seem to work fine.

Cheers

[Flightgear-devel] bug hunting before the 1.0 release

2007-12-11 Thread Stewart Andreason
I found a couple things:

at KSFO, watching AI traffic taxi from waypoint 60 to 61, (N37.6143 
W122.3683) everybody jumps up into the air 5 to 10 ft. when rolling from 
the blacktop to concrete pavement.

also at KSFO, on the west side of the airport, the American Airlines 737 
parked at node 190 (N37.6191 W122.3882) is floating 50 ft. above the ground.

As I don't see any elevation information in 
AI/Airports/KSFO/parking.xml, is this a problem with the ground 
elevation being reported wrong?

Hello , 
 Yes they both track Nav1  at the moment , Ive been doing some rush updates in 
case it was included in the release , but I can relax now and sort out my 
mistakes ...
Im still working on the flightdirector / autopilot , and Primus 1000 , so I'll 
try to remember to add that to my todo list .
Thanks for the tip :)

[Flightgear-devel] bug hunting - cloud alpha, t38, blackwhite

2007-12-11 Thread Stewart Andreason
Found a few (possible) bugs,

T38 gives an error:
running aar
Nasal runtime error: No such member: getValue
  at /usr/local/FlightGear/data/Aircraft/T38/aar.nas, line 58

perhaps line 58 should give the full path /systems/refuel/contact
instead of just refuel/contact?


Next, when flying at dusk, thunderclouds turn into square shapes, as the alpha 
transparency goes opaque.
Sometimes the 3d clouds can be corrected by toggling the 3d clouds checkbox in 
View.RenderingOptions off and back on, but new clouds are also black squares.

screenshot:
http://www.geocities.com/sandreas41/data/pre1.0-thundercloud.jpg

Next, why would flying above 42,000 ft create the following condition:?
The sky texture turns black and white or grayscale, the aircraft's solid 
surfaces turn solid white, but textures like halo colors and the 3d 
instruments are still correct.
screenshot:
http://www.geocities.com/sandreas41/data/pre1.0-altitude-640.jpg

No, it doesn't seem to happen with other aircraft I have tried, including the 
787, T38, or the basic ufo...

Thanks,
Stewart
