Re: [Flightgear-devel] To Pause FlightGear Instance using sockets
Hello. i'm running fgfs 2.0.0 in ubuntu 9.10. I can pause FlightGear using the commands below indicated, but setting /sim/freeze/clock to true hangs any communication from FlightGear, so, it's impossible to unfreeze via telnet. The button P is the only way to unfreeze. The same occurs via httpd. It's something with fg2.0.0 because in fg1.9.1 i can toggle pause without problems via telnet or httpd -CesarGaston 2010/3/12, Erik Hofman e...@ehofman.com: Aryabrata Basu wrote: Hello All, I am a FlightGear user and I have written a program that communicates with the FlightGear using UDP sockets. Now, I was wondering if one can pause the FlightGear instance without using the pause button 'P' via sockets while communicating with the FlightGear instance. Looking at keyboard.xml you should set the following properties to enable/disable pause: /sim/freeze/master /sim/freeze/clock /sim/freeze/replay-state This should be possible using the generic protocol. I'm not sure about other protocols. Erik -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] weather conditions and winds aloft not working correctly..
I seem to have a problem getting my weather conditions and winds aloft to behave correctly. I set weather scenario to disabled, input my weather and winds aloft data using the weather conditions dialog, but weather does not behave as input. The problem is especially apparent with winds aloft data, which does not pick up the winds aloft data correctly, and in many cases not at all. I input various wind directions, speeds, temperatures, etc for different altitudes (3000-15000ft in this case), yet when I climb to those altitudes and check the environment and other data I can see they are completely incorrect and not being honored at all. Entering the following for winds aloft for example: 15000ft -- 300 @ 16 12000ft -- 310 @ 14 9000ft -- 320 @ 12 6000ft -- 280 @ 10 3000ft -- 270 @ 9 I would expect if I am flying level at 12000ft for example, that I should encounter winds VERY close to 3...@14...yet I do not. Aloft layers seem to often not get picked up at all, or not picked up past the first or second aloft layer...becoming increasingly wrong the higher the altitude. Cruising at 12000ft example, changing the parameters for the 12000 layer has no effect at all, neither for surrounding layers 9000/15000...though sometimes changing the bottom layer (3000 in this case) does show immediate effect on aircraft...though the result is incorrect at 12000 obviously. I really don't see what I could be doing wrong, so one would have to think there is something very wrong in the environment code...? I get the same results in 2.0, cvs build (week or so before cvs death), and brand new up to date git builds. I have to confirm what you are reporting, I can't tell you what's wrong but I'll have a closer look. All I can say by now: it's most likely not a user error ;-) Torsten -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] weather conditions and winds aloft not working correctly..
All I can say by now: it's most likely not a user error ;-) Or is it? My first check was with fdm=magic to easily climb to any desired altitude. This fdm does not update /position/altitude-agl-ft which is used to interpolate through the environment layers. So _my_ check was based on user error and I can't verify what you have reported, at least with a JSBSim aircraft, envirionment interpolation work well here. To proceed, could you please specify: which A/C (FDM) did you check with? which properties did you check and found indicating false values?

Thanks, Torsten I've tried with numerous aircraft, both jsbsim and yasim...Lockheed1049H, pa22, velocity, and Tu154B to name a few. At first I noticed things not right when flying the Tu154B and just seeing the wind correction needle and ground speeds were not at all what I would expect them to be based off the winds aloft I had set up. I've since kept an eye on /environment/wind-speed-kt and /environment/wind-from-heading-deg when testing as well. I don't know if those are the best properties to look at, but they seem to be updated and interpolated when things are (at least partially) working. Besides the properties, just observing the incorrect ground speeds and course corrections compared to what is calculated for the winds I input is a give away something is not quite rightas well as nothing happening when I change the parameters in the gui as I mention before. I don't really know what to make of it...but hope solution can be found as I've started to grow tired of real-weather-fetch and would like to be able to set up more realistic (and less annoying) weather conditions, for longer distance cross country trips especially. cheers! -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
