What specifically on page 9 are you seeing?

I am not sure I agree but I can't say for sure.  All of the lamps are in line 
with each other so they could easily use the same types of masks and a common 
lever for dimming all five lamps.  In addition, not dimming the T/R/REM lamp 
would not make operational sense since they would have been very concerned 
about night blindness and the lamp is white (see next paragraph) which is not 
a good thing from a night vision point of view.  Also the 1952 USAF F-51D/K/H 
manual seems to imply that all of the lamps are dimmed by the lever although 
it does not say this explicity.  On the other hand the Aug. 1945 USAAF P-51D/K 
manual seems to imply that the dimmer mask only affects the channel lights but 
again it is not explicit about this.  So I don't know.   Perhaps the Spit 
pilot manuals can shed some light on this? 

Also something that I had missed from the 1952 manual is that the T/R/REM lamp 
is white and the others are green.  In most photos I have seen the lamps all 
appear to be a greenish blue color, this is clearly the case in the ebay 
auction photos,  but perhaps this is because they are not lit in these photos.  
 
A yellowish lamp under a blueish lens would glow a green color when lit while 
still appearling blue when not lit.  Also the photo at this link shows the 
channel lamps as a green blue and the T/R/REM lamp as white.

 I will  change the colors of the lamps to match the documentation.  But this 
is another case where the evidence is contradictory.  What colors should these 
be when lit and off?  I will make my best guess and if some evidence comes 
along that my guess is incorrect it will get fixed.

It shows where various things are located for weight and ballance on the Spit.  
The TR 1133 is item G and with the dynamotor and other radio items is part of 
item 18.  These are located behind the VHF antenna at 109 inches behind the 
datum point which appears to be at about 25% cord.  This is well behind the 
cockpit and these might not be visible to the pilot or when looking through 
the canopy from the outside.

manual,

 it seems possible that the dimmer mask only covered the Channel indicator

 lamps, and not the T/R/REM. light.

On page 9 I see what I think is the mask in place over  the channel lights
with the small hole over the channel visible - compare and contrast that
with the photos that we have found with the in the day position. Page 9 also
shows the T/R/REM. light unmasked. The words on page 24 also imply this to

Too much info - does that photo show the dimmer mask in the down position?
I think so, it looks as if I am wrong about the hole theory - the blue is
transparent mask over - what?  Perhaps a more transparent blue mask? The T/R
lamp is not masked.  But I'm not sure that we want to introduce a
transparency in our model - bad for framerate. We can easily fix things to
look right without transparency.

 

I will change the colors of the lamps to match the documentation. But this
is another case where the evidence is contradictory. What colors should
these be when lit and off? I will make my best guess and if some evidence
comes along that my guess is incorrect it will get fixed.

 

Green is a very usual colour for channel lights - and red/orange for T (but
we know that the SCR-522 worked in reverse). But all photos show the unlit
lamps/mask to be blue.

Very useful info. Not sure about the comment on the Spitfire prop weight -
my info shows the DeHavilland 3 bladed metal prop/hub at 350 lbs - which
would have been right for the BoF, while the later constant speed propeller
would have weighed in at 500lbs, but these were not fitted until 1940 in

[Flightgear-devel] Properties on sim-reset

2011-06-12 Thread ThorstenB
Hi,
we're resetting all properties on sim-reset to their initial value 
(saved at sim start-up). There's only a few (hard-coded) exceptions of 
properties which are not reset.
I've just pushed a fix to keep userarchived properties unaffected by a 
sim-reset. Their value is always maintained in between sim sessions - 
however you had to exit/restart the sim first, before their value was 
also retained on sim-reset (don't even try to understand that...it was 
just odd).
I could think of several more properties which would better be retained 
on sim resets. I'm about to add a noreset flag to the supported 
property attributes. That would allow anyone to flag such exceptional 
properties which should not be affected by a sim reset (in 
XML/nasal/C++). And we can get rid of the hard-coded list of property 
exceptions.

Any objections? Any better name than noreset? Otherwise I'll change as 
proposed...

cheers,
Thorsten

I think the mask is between the lens and the light bulb and is not visible

change how these looked other than how bright they are when lit. 

I think you are right about not using transparency and that the needed affect 
can be done using object illumination animation settings in the models XML 
file.  So it appears that the mask can be removed from the model which reduces 
the number of vertices significantly.

The other related open question is which way does the level move to open or 
close the mask?

 That's all looking good. Can we get it into Git soon?\

Soon yes but at the moment I am swamped with other stuff.  But I will try to

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Airport Textures (Again)

2011-06-12 Thread syd adams
I'll have to agree here . There's also some pretty gaudy terrain
textures too , whatever happened to a general vote on commits ?

 Can we please have the old airport textures back: the new ones wreck some
 very fine airports. Here's a small sample of Gatwick/EGKK. It's like this
 all over and it's spoiling someone's very good work:

 Yes - of course, I can do that locally, but can we really have this ugliness
 in our flightsim?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] screen shots with OSG multi-threading

 Hi,
 another heads up: I've pushed a patch fixing screen shot issues in OSG
 multi-threading modes (see multithreading-mode in preferences.xml).
 Please test this on your machines, with your favourite OSG threading
 mode. As usual, report any issues - here or there:
 http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=127

This commit is buggy too :-

Okay, I'll be nice and provide a hint: It is not safe to call
removeTask from the timer event itself.

Have you pulled latest simgear? I had adapted the event manager to allow
tasks to remove themselves.

cheers,
