Re: [Flightgear-devel] Scenemodels ground elevation update
Anyone could point me on where to change things if i want to make x-plane 9 airport formats (apt.dat) being drawn on top of ground? ( to avoid FPS burden ) Not sure if i find time (and have sufficient c++ knwld.) but anyway would be interesting investigating.Thanks --- On Tue, 1/11/11, Martin Spott martin.sp...@mgras.net wrote: From: Martin Spott martin.sp...@mgras.net Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Scenemodels ground elevation update To: flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 12:48 PM Curtis Olson wrote: On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 10:09 AM, Jon Stockill li...@stockill.net wrote: Those things are marked as obstructions in the database, their elevation is fixed. (In this case we know the published height of the top, and the height of the model, and can place the base accordingly - this is done for all the FAA and FCC sourced models that we placed). Wonderful; glad to hear you account for this in your database scheme. Credit goes to Jon, who did by far most of the work regarding mass-imports of obstruction databases. There's just one minor drawback hidden in this concept: Contributors are slowly but steadily replacing the respective 'generic' models in use as placeholders for aeronautical obstructions - which is Good because it makes our Scenery nicer. Even though we may assume that these customized models are being designed closely aligned with the original building, probably not all of them are matching the criteria of having the 'official' height as accurately as the generic ones did. If we make the highest spot of these models align with the authritative elevation, some of them may end up hovering above the surface if the terrain elevation is too low :-) If anyone is having a solution at hand, feel free to contribute. Even though some of the customized models have now been adjusted to the current terrain elevation, we're still having backup copies of the 'original' data.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] fgdata merge request #73
Hi Hal, Could some please do the merge. Merged! I tried to merge it as clean as possbile (without all kind of master-merges; as James told me to avoid those), but due to this my name ended up with the commits. Sorry for that. I'll ask James how to prevent that from happening in future merges... Oh and thanks for your updates so far. The P51 defenitely improved over time!

The topic is actually a slightly delicate one. If you search the archives (the web forum, for example) then you'll find out that there are opinions expressed from at least two types of people: a) Those who are having a couple of years of experience in dealing with the topic, who are pretty familiar with the potential pitfalls and therefore have not yet started any action; b) those who are having almost no clue wrt. to the specific implications in FlightGear but still consider themselves being entitled to teach those in a) that there are no pitfalls In the meantime, those who've formerly been in a) have almost left the scene not least because of those in b). As a consequence I think the topic is 'simply' in need of someone who both focuses on a sane solution without caring about other people's opinions _and_ is having the ressources to deal with a few setbacks without giving up :-) Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

Those crappy pirates are going on my nervesWhy not add some convoluted code to display: Flightgear.org fly free or alike at various in game stages?
