Just to spread some ideas:
It would be possible to write a feeder, which feeds your track into our 
multiplayer system and thus your route would be visible on our multiplayer 
maps.
It is also possible to build a feeder for live (real) traffic, eg from 
openATC.org.

If somebody feels appointed to implement something like that, let me know.

Cheers,
Oliver

[Flightgear-devel] Flight Gear Build

2008-03-28 Thread Wong, Sophia
I am currently having problem to build Flightgear-1.0.0.

Following is the configuration of my workstation:

Openal-0.0.8 source code (Successfully built)

Freealut 1.1.0 (Successfully built)

Freeglut 2.2.0 (Successfully built) - I was not able to build Freeglut
2.4.0

Plib-1.8.5 (Successfully built)

Simgear 1.0.0 (Successfully built)

My Window XP is running the emulator cygwin 3.4.4 (gcc- 3.4.4-3)

The following error was one of the compiler errors I ran into:

 

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/include/c++/streambuf:781 

In member function 'Virtual std::streamsize std:: _streambuf  _CharT,
_Traits :: xsgetn, _CharT*, std::streamsize);

Streambuf.tcc:54 error: expected unqualified_id before '(' token...

 

I am not sure if it is because of the incompatibility between cygwin
(gcc compiler was installed with cygwin) and flightgear.

Anyone ran into this problem?

 

Thanks.

Hmm - I had to abandon cygwin over a year ago because they haven't updated
the gcc version. The solution is the free download of MSVC8 from MS. The
project files are in the source code, although a bit old. I've tried with
MSVC9, but that compiles FG, but won't run  here.

  Does it have to be a surveillance ship? There are not many blueprints I
  can find from them.

 I am going to try to get some schematics of the ship and take a picture of
 them to post.  The ship I am currently on started out as a navy
 surveillance vessel, but was taken out of service and transfered to NOAA
 and is now used as a research ship.  Our current cruise is dedicated to
 marine debris location and removal.

 A few NOAA researchers have come up with some theories of using satellite
 imagery/data to detect convergence zones in the ocean currents.  Along
 with converging debris, wildlife and plant life also converges in these
 zones.  So we are starting out with a satellite based prediction of the
 convergence zone.  Now along the way we are taking water samples every 15nm
 to measure conductivity, temperature, and chlorophyll content of the water
 down to depths of 500m.  We should see a significant change in these
 measurements when we cross the boundary into the convergence zone.  Almost
 analogous to crossing a weather front.

 During this whole cruise we have a team keeping watch from the roof of the
 bridge (aka the fly deck) using hand held binoculars and also using 2 25x
 power big eye binoculars that are swivel mounted and have calibration
 marks so anything in the water can be geolocated relative to the ship.

 Finally, when we do get to the convergence zone and the likely debris
 field, we will commence UAS operations.  That's where I plug in.  We want
 to use an airborne camera system launched from the ship to extend the
 visual range of the ship and test the effectiveness of this approach
 relative to the other approaches in locating debris.

 We have a big cargo container on the fan tail of the ship that we hope to
 fill with debris.  Some people think we'll come back empty handed (big
 ocean), and some people seem to think we can walk across the debris.  The
 truth is likely somewhere in between.  Hopefully we'll come back with a
 full load of garbage and demonstrate the effectiveness of an airborne
 camera relative to observers on the ship and come up with a truth reference
 for the satellite prediction models.

 Interestingly, even way away from the convergence zone and from land, our
 observers are picking out bits of debris periodically, so there is plenty
 of stuff floating around out here if you are dedicated to looking for it.

 So, the reason I asked about building a 3d model of our ship, is that I
 could plug it into our FlightGear based synthetic view (and replay) system,
 and increase the ooh/ahh factor.

 That is all,

 Curt.

[Flightgear-devel] [patch] 737-300 3d model - FDM alignment problem

2008-03-28 Thread Anders Gidenstam

Hi,

Hasn't anyone noticed that the FDM model landing gears (in fact, the 
whole FDM model) on the 737-300 is 9 meters behind the 3d model landing 
gears?! I almost never fly jetliners but that there was an alignment 
problem was obvious from the first glance in external view during taxing..

It is pretty much invisible from cockpit view, though, so I can see how 
serious pilots might not notice the problem.. :)


I thought I had sent this patch last year, but it seems I might not have 
done that.

Anyway, here are two alternative ways of aligning the 3d model with the 
FDM model:

Alt.1. Adjust the visual reference point (VRP) in the JSBSim FDM config: 
http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/737-300-offsets-1.diff


Alt.2. Adjust the offsets in the 3d model XML file. Note that one has
 to modify the cockpit view location and usually also need to add a
 corresponding target-z-offset to the external views to
 make those look good with the repositioned 3d model.
http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/737-300-offsets-2.diff


I think alternative 2. is preferable since it avoids the risk of 
losing the VRP offset, should the FDM config be overwritten during a 
future JSBSim update. The Alt.2. method also works for YASim aircraft, 
should any of those need alignment.

Silly (and old) postfix demo:
http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/fgfs-737-300_adjusted.jpg
Try that with the 737-300 in CVS...

Cheers,

Anders
