[Flightgear-devel] Disabling menu items (was Re: map question)
Happy new year everyone !

It's very simple to avoid this issue for this release (keep fuelpayload/radio/autopilot menu items in original position). And it may still affect more planes (those not in GIT). Sorry but I disagree on this. The menu re-ordering took place quite some time ago and is unrelated to the recent work I did and is something that aircraft maintainers should have already dealt with. IMO the menu reordering represents a significant usability improvement and is something we want to encourage. Furthermore backing it out will also require changes to the manual, so isn't quite as straightforward as it might seem at first. I think the number of affected theses aircraft is sufficiently small that they can be updated to fix this. Aircraft maintainers have always had to keep up with changes in the core code (e.g. The ambient material change) and this is no different except that it has only been noticed fairly late in the release cycle. Aircraft outside of the shears repository are not restricted to our release cycle and can be updated after the release as and when their maintainers notice this issue. I suspect that a number are waiting for the release to test their aircraft anyway. Adding symbolic names along with some helper functions for disabling them in Nasal/gui.nas is pretty easy. I'm happy to take on writing the code etc. Probably not today though! I think a more fruitful direction would be to look at why the F14 has a separate dialog and how we can integrate that function in a generic way with the core UI. I suspect that will require some generic payload support which some might disagree with, but given the number of military aircraft with payloads we now have, it may be time to introduce such function.

I've tried that, but unfortunately the X isn't quite centered in the box, and looks very much like the character X rather than a cross. A better solution would be to modify the GUI code so we had an actual close button. I haven't looked to see how difficult that would be. -Stuart -- Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Based on writing some rather complex custom widgets for PUI, I'd say that adding a custom close button should not be tricky. I'd even say it would be 'trivial', but PUI has a knack for making trivial things confusing, if not complex.

[Flightgear-devel] Program exits when bringing up HUD
Hi everybody, does anybody else see this? When starting up with --lat/--lon somewhere in far southern hemisphere (e.g the Kerguelen islands: --lat=-49.396, --lon=70.054), activating the HUD will immediately cause a program exit. Happens with any Aircraft and UFO. Same coordinate in northern hemisphere however works. Just tried it with Git Simgear/Flightgear and fgdata from today.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Hang on reset
I seem to vaguely recall some issue with resetting (with JSBSim). I had thought that the most recent JSBSim code fixed that, though.

Yes, there was a problem with JSBSim a/c, FG crashed on reset... this is a different problem though as YASim aircraft are also affected and FG hangs, rather than crashes / segfaults.

[Flightgear-devel] terragear roadmap
Hello, I've been following some of the discussions on this list, and have become interested in contributing to flightgear. I have spent the weekend downloading and building osg, simgear, flightgear and terragear from source, and have successfully generated scenery for the atlanta, ga area. (from shapefiles on mapserver) So now, I was wondering, is there a list of projects (long term) being worked on to improve terragear? Here is the things I would like to look into, but I would like to know if there is anyone actively working on such features before stepping on anyone's toes. 1) uv mapped roads, railroads, streams. I see all of the ogr-decoded landclass data is not uv mapped. 2) coastlines for lakes and edges of landmass (possibly a more general idea of transition polygons between landclass types, that would also be uv mapped. I'm not sure how well this would work - it would probably need a lot of trial and error prototyping... 3) upgrading apt.dat to 850. I'd love to see curved taxiways, and automated signage.
