[Flightgear-devel] Bug cleaning week: July, 9th - July 16th
Hi, one week to go, before we create the release-branch for 2.4.0. We still have some 80 bugs in out bug tracker at http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/list I'd really love to get this number significantly down before we branch. Please browse to http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/list (ignore the 500 error message and hit reload - google is buggy here) and scroll down to any bug that hits an area of your interest. The easiest way to help is by picking one of the Stalled bugs and simply verify if the reported malfunction still exist. Those, who can log into Google's services are welcome to place a comment and change the status to Accepted again or even close the issue with Fixed. If you can't log on or don't want to mess with the tracker, any feedback referring to a bug-id on this list is welcome. We can accept a mouse in our cockpit, but we certainly don't want any bugs!

* Flightgear-commitlogs -- Saturday 09 July 2011: commit 0b8dee0f4611f0e90478f48d58951995fbe87069 Author: ThorstenB Date: Sat Jul 9 12:45:42 2011 +0200 bo105: make sim reset work when helicopter crashed On sim reset properly uncrash the airframe and do not install listeners again. The bo105 is maintained by *me*, and nobody is allowed to make commits other than adaptations to changes in the api or framework -- let's say, someone renames setlistener to set_listener, in which case an adaptation would be mandatory. This is not my invention, but was handled that way ever since I came to FlightGear in 2001, and this is also standard procedure in other projects. Patches with explanations shall be submitted to the maintainer, even by core developers. m. -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?

[Flightgear-devel] Screenshot F3 feature (partially) broken?
Hi all, Is the screenshot F3 feature (partially) broken? I'm not using multi thread either. When pressing the F3 button i'm getting the error Error writting screenshot ... [1] But the screenshot is been made (if file doesn't exist) in my home directory. Also, it doesn't check if file is present, but that's some other feature. On the console i get the following error: Nasal runtime error: non-scalar in string context at /home/dvanmosselbeen/local/fgfs/install/fgfs/fgdata/Nasal/gui.nas, line 1262 Iirc, this started to happen after that new feature/check has been implemented a few time ago.

[Flightgear-devel] (Black/white) Smoke issue
Hi all, Depending of the view angle, smoke is showing in white or black. I mean, if i click twice on the right mouse button, then move the view... But also sometimes when flying. See the image [1].

[Flightgear-devel] Minor GUI layout improvements
Hi All, I've just done a pass over the GUI making minor changes to clean it up and make it consistent. There are a couple of slightly more significant layout changes I'd like to make, but want to discuss first. 1) Currently there is a wireframe option on the Rendering menu. While it's of moderate interest to developers, I don't think it's really of any interest to the average user. I'd like to move this option to the Debug menu. 2) As it stands, it's very difficult for a new user to understand the difference between Local Weather and Global Weather. let alone how they inter-relate. Enabling the Local Weather package requires setting Enabled local weather module from the Local Weather Settings menu, yet the rest of the settings a user is likely to want are in the Local Weather dialog. As a first step to sorting this out, I'd like to do the following: 2a) Move the Enable local weather module checkbox to the Local Weather dialog. 2b) Move Local Weather Settings to the Debug menu, on the assumption that more users will never need to modify the settings there (Thorsten R. - is this true?) 3) Split the Jetway Settings, and move the Enable jetway editor, Debug mode and Open Editor buttons to a new dialog in the Debug menu. Again, on the basis that most normal users have no interest in these controls. Comments? -Stuart -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?

Trying to model pieces of Belgium in the hope it will be included into the scenery db, but not now yet. This is to much in development work. Still exploring the internals and experimenting... There are still lot's of things i may need to learn, to do and to correct, and i'm not yet satisfied with my own work so far. But my data is on my git repo[1], GPL'ed data of course. I'm not sure this is related to the btg (terrain?) file itself, but i'm new in this all and could be wrong. I have this issue on the default scenery with that generic cooling towers everywhere. But not on tires smoke for example. I don't get any output on the console about that however. This issue happen on my Debian (testing version) laptop with nVidia Corporation G98M [GeForce G 103M] (rev a1) and on my stable Debian desktop with nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2). Both using the nvidia data.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Minor GUI layout improvements
Sounds logical to me ...the double weather systems are a bit of nuisance , would be nicer, in my opinion , if they could be combined in a single dialog but not sure if that's possible.I use real world weather anyway , so i never use those settings.

[Flightgear-devel] Effects and shaders
Hi, Trying to get my head around all the effects and shader stuff... Are there some default effects and shaders that must run? Or can they be disabled?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Effects and shaders
Never mind, find them in materials.xml file, however, would still like to turn these off while testing and mucking with the shaders. Is this possible with crashing the program?
