Re: [Flightgear-devel] Licensing and disclaimers for aircraft models

2009-01-24 Thread syd adams
I have to agree with the last 2 options  maybe keep a select few to go
with the release. It would make the first time data update more pleasant :).


 For the aircraft models, there are 3 not-very-attractive choices:
 
  * Don't say the aircraft are GPL'ed. Models are under any random
 license;
  seller beware. Yuck.
  * Rip out the non-GPLed models.
  * Create GPL'ed and other aircraft repositories.

Fair enough, but make sure that all the files are in sync then.
Looking at the progress of FlightGear 1.9.1 it will be a short time

 I think we're pretty much ready. I built a binary from the git repositories,

 around with git a little bit, and it looks like I'm having some trouble

 I 
 ran

 as the latest commit for simgear.
 
As John says, it's very important that you have the maint branch checked out. 
There's a master branch in the repos in order to keep the git clone command 
happy, but all the action is on the maint and next branches, and maint is 
what I'm proposing for 1.9.1.

Also, git fetch by itself only updates your copies of remote branches, not 
your local copies. You need to follow git fetch by git merge, or git 
rebase 
origin; the latter is recommended if you're doing work that you intend to 
check 
back into CVS. Also, git pull may be a simpler alternative for you, which 
does 
git fetch + git merge.
 Also, to test whether this was just me, I did a new clone of the entire 
 directory, which also gave me these commits as the latest ones. 
 
Again, make sure you git checkout maint.

Now with more than 230 models within CVS, using model based CVS, is

[Flightgear-devel] Microsoft Shuts Down 'Flight Simulator' Game Studio

2009-01-24 Thread GWMobile
Wow.
While this doesn't mean they are shutting down the software it does mean 
a historic milestone far beyond what most people realize.
I attached the press release/story below but allow me to explain how 
momentous this is first becuase
Having worked with so many of the guys at Microsoft when they first 
recognized the unique place Flight Simulator had in the PC market I find 
this noteworthy.

Flight sim as a separate entity in microsoft started when Microsoft 
bought out Bruce Artwick's BAO studios for a reputed $20 million 
dollars.

MS Flight Sim has always had a huge unknown influence in the world.

At one point in the 90's a major research company did a survey of 
fortune 500 CEO's to find which software package was on the pc's of the 
most CEO's of fortune 500 companies expecting to find Lotus or Excel or 
Word etc. Instead they found MS Flight Simulator.

Also, all of us around during the Intel pentium years remember that one 
of the main reasons people upgraded to pentiums and later Intel chip 
computers when they came out was to be able to run Flight Sim 5.1 and 
then the later increasingly graphically intensive versions of MS Flight 
Sim. MS Flight sim actually drove a huge portion of the Intel CPU and 
later graphics card hardware upgrade business and always has. (Business 
computers were often upgraded by IT guys so they could run the latest 
flight sim on $5000 PC hardware they couldn't afford at home although of 
course they claimed other reasons.) And the abilty to run ms flight sim 
was used THE definitive consumer test of whether an alternative cpu 
maker like AMD had successfully replicated Intel chips.

The open addon market in flight sims was by no means guarenteed. I 
remember a key moment in the life of flight simulator when  I did some 
intense lobbying in Redmond with the then head of the Microsoft flight 
sim marketing. Until then it had been up in the air which way Microsoft 
would legally go about hacked addons for ms flight sim with some 
speculation and magazine articles hinting Microsoft would get tough and 
shut down unapproved expansions. Many people programming on addons held 
their release back out of legal fear then. This constant threat was also 
actually one key reason I always gave publicity to any third party 
flight sims like x-plane. It's also why I initially proposed on 
Compuserv the idea of a flight sim developed along the new fangled 
unproven an open source lines of Linux which eventually became 
flightgear which I publicized the hell out of in industry magazines like 
Computer Pilot and PC Pilot that I established commercially.

On a trip I suggested to the MS Flight Sim guy in Redmond that they 
market and think of Microsft Flight Simulator as an operating system 
for flight simulation supporting third party add ons instead of a closed 
proprietary software application intent on shutting down third party 
addons with legal threats. I chose my words operating system careful 
since I knew at Microsoft the idea of owning the operating system 
would be well received.  Immediately after that personal visit to 
Redmond, Microsoft began to formally state in interviews etc that they 
supported third party addons and recognized that they helped flight sim. 
This insured that microsoft flight sim would become the flexible 
advanced flight sim it became.

That also gave permanence to the flight sim addon market which became 
such a huge hotbed of advanced computer simulation and pilot training 
that it literally led the computer graphics industry for a decade and 
spawned a whole graphics card industry creating first S3 cards and then 
graphfx and later nvidia. This happened before RPG's became the huge 
market share leaders (and in my personal humble opinion back when pc 
gamers were smarter :-)  and not just thumb pressers)
Hell many of us initiated and put out better satellite phototerrain 
mapped ms flight sim addons running on pc's then than lockheed martin 
then had in their official F22 flight training simulator which costs 
millions at the time. I know. I saw them running side by side. (and 
Lockheed Martin never publicly showed that version of their expensive 
simulator again as far as I know.)

Flight sim addons also promoted airlines and even defense contractor's 
bids for projects like the F22.
Back when a legal squabble erupted over whether logos and fighter names 
like F-22 should be fair use in flight sims, I got on the phone to the 
PR person at Lockheed. I explained how hundreds of thousands  of 
computer savy flight sim users who have for some reason ALWAYS been 
politcally active could either call their congressmen praising the 
advanced F-22 they had flown on their PC before a new defense 
appropriation was passed ensuring their actual construction or call them 
to complain about how an American contractor was attempting to usurp 
legal rights to government fighter plane names for government funded 
fighter projects. Quickly he saw the value in

I think it's too early to say how this will affect FlightGear other than we
are being mentioned among the remaining players in the market.  Also, I
don't believe MSFS will simply end, but it remains to be seen in what form
it re-emerges and where and how.

That said, we should be prepared for a lot of new folks at least coming and
taking a quick look at what we are doing over here, so when new faces show
up, please be welcoming and patient with them!  Some might even know a few
things about flight sim development but not be familiar with our culture,
so again, let's be patient and welcoming.  FlightGear should be a place that
welcomes new thought and new ideas and new faces that are certain to stretch
and expand our culture.

Best regards,

Curt.

* Stuart Buchanan -- Saturday 24 January 2009:
 The patch is attached.

I'm not that familiar with the case, but wasn't the diagnosis first
that it's a bug somewhere? In this case I wouldn't like a nasal
hack around that in common space. I prefer fixes to hacks.  :-)



 Assuming that we want to use this, I'm not sure whether tune.nas
 should be in Aircraft/Generic, or data/Nasal.

If it's not just a hack around a bug, then it should probably go
in $FG_ROOT/Nasal/aircraft.nas (after adapting the coding style :-).

What's also suboptimal: the trailing-underscore namespace. It's
just not necessary (and it's ugly). The exception handling is also
a bit contrived. This would do the same:

  var ext = freq;
  if (num(ext) == nil)
  ext = getprop(ext);

The num() function returns the argument as number if it could be
interpreted as number, or nil otherwise. Of course, both solutions
don't digest props.Node or vector/hash/ghost etc.

I was ... the guy   :)

My point ( before the eb-heilja shout) , was to remind that period when we 
had a specific stable aircraft directory. 
This was an advantage since anybody who wanted an accurate Aircraft, could 
download from it.
CVS has the disadvantage to offer everything from the less achieved (skeleton)  
to the most accurate in the same tin, for instance none of mine is right (and 
some of then do not fly).

Then it is up to the luck to get the good one.
That is not fair for modelers who spend, many, many hours,  to work on a 
model which the accuracy is very hight.

AND, in these coming day, if MSFS is really out, who among the MSFS users 
coming to FG,  looking for an aircraft, will be enough lucky to get an 
achieved model among the 230 ones ?

In addition to my point.
You are right, we could have 
 -a sellable   = fully GPL model  directory
 -a not sellable = not fully GPL model directory

Regarding CVS directory there is no more problem with it, since we can get 
individual aircraft from it  with only a little script

When was that? I'm FlightGear developer since March 2001, and in
that time we never had such a directory. And at that time we only
had one aircraft, so I doubt it was before that.

What we got at some point was a --min-status option that could
and can be specified in addition to --show-aircraft.

  --min-status={alpha,beta,early-production,production}

Looks like that doesn't work anymore, though.

well not if it has the word Boeing  in it , if I understand correctly.
But I have no objection to removing or modifying any of my aircraft if they
might possibly cause
problems, or don't fit the GPL licence

  My thoughts were to move the extra or non sellable aircraft out of

  so this issue is of some interest to me 

 Why is it, since the 777 is clearly as sellable as any other FG aircraft?
