Re: [Flightgear-devel] Lost SourceForge account jomo
Help please: I know I had an Account, but now the system does not accept my login any more!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Translating getstart.pdf to German
Well - I know, this first offering for review of the new German version took significantly longer than I thought. But while trying to understand what was written I became confused several times - and got more and more into review mode - and that lead to several changes -- included in the German version - proposed also for the English version. Right now I finished the The FlighGear Simulator part (Preface, I. Installation, II. Getting to know the Simultator, Appendix). I just started the pure Flying Tutorials (Part III) - which should be easier/quicker to translate. But I guess it is a good time to review what I did now and how. So please do - I appreciate any comment. Please see the translated Manual (Handbuch) as HTML and/or PDF (both from the same OpenOffice source): http://www.emmerich-j.de/FGFS/Getstart-DE/getstart-de.html http://www.emmerich-j.de/FGFS/Getstart-DE/getstart-de.pdf In addition a summary of what I changed (besides the translation): http://www.emmerich-j.de/FGFS/Getstart-DE/getstart_Changes.pdf http://www.emmerich-j.de/FGFS/Getstart-DE/getstart_Changes-Index.pdf Even thought I know, that not everybody is able to read and understand German (what a pity!!) - I guess everybody might get an idea of the major differences by looking into the ..Index.pdf comparisons. happy reading joe -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

[Flightgear-devel] Metapost for drawing instruments?
Hi, Does anyone have any examples of using metapost to draw instrument graphics (arcs, ticks, etc.) Or are there other free tools that have good primitives for drawing instrument/gauge graphics? I have a little side personal project here and I'd like to play around with it a bit.

I have a little side personal project here and I'd like to play around with it a bit. I personally use Inkscape with much satisfaction. Drawing arcs, marks and numbers is very easy with the vectorial capacities of Inkscape. At the end of the job, I export as a bitmap ( png is default in Inkscape ) , then I import the result in GIMP to add shadows or other fancy eye candy. I attach an example Inkscape file, if you want to see how things are done.

That's a lot easier than to mess with all the ticks and arcs in inkscape, though that's possibly only because I'm not an inkscape expert. Examples (two test files, two actual bo105 files) inside.

Please download again. Not that it has changed much, but there were some minor fixes. The arctext works now, for example. But also note that this isn't a finished package, meant for publication. I just hacked along as I needed new features, and I was really a Perl guy back than. I'll probably rewrite some parts once I do the missing bo105 intruments. That the bo105's clock doesn't look very pretty doesn't have much to do with the code. It's just that: - I used ksvg for rendering back then, and it placed numbers differently, so they are now off a bit in inkscape. - I didn't have a font where the 1 (ones) were nose-less, so I just used a lowercase L. On the small clock scale this didn't matter much, but nowadays I'd probably search longer for a proper font, or create one with fontforge. Hint: use fc-list on Linux to get the names of available fonts. m. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Installed, doesn't run.
Not sure what the problem might be , since I did the same thing 2 days ago and it runs without problems here , on an AMD Athlon XP with an NVIDIA 6200 series graphics card... just a thought , but I did have to remove pulseaudio to get another app to run without segfaulting during Openal initialization. I didnt have a problem with FlightGear (1.9.1) with pulseaudio though. Cheers On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 3:12 PM, Mr B leb1...@sasktel.net wrote: Downloaded flightgear from Ubuntu software.

[Flightgear-devel] airfoil by coordinates in DATCOM
Hello ! I am currently working on a JSBSIM fdm for a glider ( Centrair Pegase ) I have a problem for defining airfoils manually in DATCOM. The Pegase glider uses a specific profile for wings (Onera COAP 1 and 2 ), about which almost no information is publicly available. Fortunately, I could use a photography of the airfoil section, and create a simple data file for this airfoil. I can use this data in xfoil or xflr5 without problems, but now I would like to enter this airfoil into DATCOM. I tried to make an approximate NACA airfoil, but there are always big discrepancies from the original shape, so I gave up on this method. The only information I could find is from Digital Datcom documentation ( http://www.pdas.com/datcom.html ), section 2.4.4 says : *The airfoil section module can be used to calculate the required geometric and aerodynamic input parameters for virtually any user defined airfoil section. This module substantially simplifies the user's input preparation.* *An airfoil section is defined by one of the following methods:* 1. *An airfoil section designation (for NACA, double wedge, circular arc, or hexagonal airfoils)* 2. *Section upper and lower Cartesian coordinates, or* 3. *Section mean line and thickness distribution.* So point 2 is interesting me, but despite having searched and searched in the DATCOM docs that I could find, I was unable to find a syntax / method for entering the Section upper and lower Cartesian coordinates. Could someone point me to some documentation about this ? Thank you ! -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
