Really ? And you're on simgear/next and terragear-cs/cmake-integration
without local changes ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] moving map of Hondajet or Da-42 // nextscenerygeneration
Geoff I have just tried the Hondajet and this works. ( If needed press Ctrl-C to highlight the hot-spot controls.) On the left hand screen (the PFD) I pressed the 1st button on the bottom row below the screen. The main flight instruments (horizon etc.) appeared on the screen. I repeated this with the right hand screen (the MFD) and the map came up. The buttons are dynamic and their function depends upon PFD and MFD mode setting. Perhaps the author(s) could offer some help. ;-) If you want to try the same with my TSR2, (http://v-twin.dynip.sapo.pt/alan/VickersAircaft/TSR2/TSR2.zip) operate the 'lamp select' toggle switch below the brilliance control, which is on the bottom left of the circular map display.

Fixed now, at least, it generated a ton of .dem files for me.
(Minor tweak to the config.h creation - I suspect there's actually a more
subtle bug in rawdem.c, but that's not a file we've actually changed at all, so
the CMake behaviour matches the automake behaviour now)

Ok, try this - get the data files from:
ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/GIS/GISData/SRTM/version2_1/HGT/SRTM30/e020n90/
... and run:
DATADIR=${HOME}/archive/GIS/GISData/SRTM/version2_1/HGT/SRTM30
WORKDIR=${HOME}/workdir
mkdir -p ${WORKDIR}/tmp
cd ${WORKDIR}/tmp
unzip ${DATADIR}/e020n90/e020n90.dem.zip
unzip ${DATADIR}/e020n90/e020n90.hdr.zip
mkdir -p ${WORKDIR}/SRTM-30-ASCII/e020n90
raw2ascii E020N90 ${WORKDIR}/SRTM-30-ASCII/e020n90
In normal operation, "raw2ascii" should almost immediately start
writing lots of files to "${WORKDIR}/SRTM-30-ASCII/e020n90/", but with
current simgear/terragear-cs I'm just getting an insane number of
lines:
- ignore for now

Martin.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Serving maps from internet;
Hi Martin, Thanks for the reply... Sorry to disturb you again. I know you are probably quite busy, some of which may be getting ready for FSWeekEnd - I will not be able to attend this year ;=(( - but I do not quite understand mapserver's WMS response... I send a URL with say a BBOX - &SRS=EPSG:900913 &BBOX=755972.40132839,6797404.6358777,\ 765756.34094714,6807188.5754964 That is exactly at a Resolution of 9783.93961875... and get a reply - [An error occurred: Current x value 755972.401328 is too far from tile corner x 753363.347055] It seems as if I MUST know the exact boundaries, the precise corners of an 'existing' tile, or something... Earlier I was getting an error like can not match resolution, until I started using exact resolution values from the capabilities xml... Maybe, as usual, I am doing something really stupid ;=(( The full text of this last run is here, with the URLS used, and various other 'debug' information, like the equivalent WSG84 values - http://geoffair.org/tmp/templog.txt This run was using LAYERS=customscene, but I have tried various layers listed in the capabilities xml, but always with the same result... x value too far... even though in some case also 'quite' close...
