Done. Thanks for reporting.

[Flightgear-devel] Typo in Aircraft/CanBerraBI8 configuration file

[Jari Häkkinen]

There is a typo in one of the configuration files for CanBerraBI8 as 
outlined below. Can someone with write credentials to the git repository 
apply the fix?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Problem updating fgdata from mapserver

[Jari Häkkinen]

mapserver git URL for fgdata works for me now. I get fg and simgear from 
gitorious. Thanks,

Re: [Flightgear-devel] An introduction and what happened

Hi Austin, many thanks for your offer !

I'm having a certain familiarity with EOL'ed IBM servers (RS6k
machines, at home). Just recently I finished the migration from an old
8-socket 604e machine to a two socket Power4+ - not only for its
increased overall performance but also in the hope that it's going to
pay within one and a half years via reduced electricity costs ...

Actually this is the point: Heavy iron usually consumes a lot of
electricity, therefore I'd hesitate to run such a beast at home (even
though I'd be happy to get my hands on one of these). On the other hand
I envision finding a nice place for it where it serves as database
machine for our Landcover-DB (the PostgreSQL/PostGIS database behind
the scenemodels-/mapserver-sites).

Wether this makes sense depends a little bit on how much disk space is
installed and if we find someone to install a new OS. I assume the
machine is located in the US, right ?

Cheers,
Martin.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] carrier questions

[Vivian Meazza]

Hi Curt,

 

While "/ai/models/carrier/controls/ai-control = true" the Nimitz patrols
within the box defined in AI/nimitz_demo.xml. You can turn the carrier into
wind for launch or recovery by using the menu item AI ->AI Carrier Options
or which will turn the carrier until the relative wind is either axial or
down the angle. Alternatively, in the property browser you can set
ai-control = false and then set tgt-heading-degs to whatever you want.
Setting ai-control back to true will cause the carrier to head back into its
patrol area, and once there to resume its patrol.

 

Vivian

Hi Vivian,


Thanks for confirming those numbers.  I have one more question for you.  I
am playing around with the "nimitz_demo" ai scenario.


I see that the carrier is turning, rather than following a fixed course.

 

/ai/models/carrier/controls/in-to-wind = false

/ai/models/carrier/controls/base-course-deg = 200

turn-to-base-course = true

turn-to-launch-hdg = false

 

But I see that /ai/models/carrier/controls/tgt-heading-degs is slowly
increasing and the orientation is slowly chasing that.


Is the carrier trying to follow some predefined path?  Is there a way to
force it to travel straight?

 

I hear your advice about flying the ball, but I'm trying to rig a specific
demo for someone and a turning carrier is confusing my script. :-)

 

Thanks,


Curt.

Hi Curt,

 

Yes the centerline offset for the Nimitz/FLOLS is 8 deg, and the optimum
glideslope is 3.5. The FLOLS visible glideslope arc is 1.7 deg.

If you fly the ball you should hit # 3 wire. 

 

I got that from a reference I have here. 

 

Vivian.

Hi Jan,


Thanks for your reply.  What I'm wondering though is for the FlightGear
Nimitz, what glide slope approach path puts me in the sweet spot of the
FLOLS?

 

And for whatever it's worth, visually it appears that the landing deck is
offset closer to 8 degrees.  That lines me up a lot better than 9 degrees.
But I'd love to know the exact angle for the FlightGear Nimitz model so I
don't have to fudge things and guess.


Thanks!

 

Curt.
