Re: [Flightgear-devel] Reminder for the release process for version 2.6.0
* All major bugs fixed? I found three in the last days - one major and two minor - since I have added some sunrise/sunset support features to my working copy of Local Weather, I'll just list the fixes rather than provide the updated files: *** local_weather.nas, line 2917 (just after 'Starting hard-coded terrain presampling'), insert the line setprop(/environment/terrain/area[0]/enabled,1); (we used to have to start it with that property, or this used to be part of the compat layer checks, but now it is needed to switch terrain presampling on properly). *** weather_tiles.nas, line 857: rn = 0.1; is for debug purpose and should be commented out. *** weather_tiles.nas, line 1004; var alt = spread * 400.0 + local_weather.cloud_vertical_size_map[Nimbus] * 0.5 * m_to_ft; has an obsolete altitude correction in and should just be var alt = 400.0; to get the correct altitude for Nimbostratus layers *** If someone could just edit these on FGData master please?

Well and except that the database loader has more work to do on the CPU. Ok, checked in is a log message that checks for image formats that depend on OpenGL extensions not required to be present. That should at least help people running drivers providing those extensions to see when they use texture files that do not work fo all.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [Flightgear-commitlogs] TerraGear / Custom
I'd like to point out that I'm now having what I think should be topologically clean CLC2000v15 and VMap0 edition 5.0 datasets. I'll load these into the Landcover-DB as replacements for the current VMap0 and CLC layers. Thanks to the great folks at GRASS GIS, most notably Markus M., the procedure of cleaning large vector datasets like CORINE is now a matter of just a few days and runs on a machine with far less than 32 GByte of main menory !! One year ago, cleaning CORINE took about one and a half months to complete just one single ! of multiple iterations and you never knew if somebody would reboot the server while the job was still running (which actually happened several times). Having topologically clean datasets is a very important step for at least two reasons: 1.) I expect TerraGear's overall stability to increase with topologically clean vector data. 2.) Merging custom land cover data (like John Holden's great work) into the Custom Scenery layer (at MapServer) had been failing in some cases due to topological inconsistencies. I expect these failures to disappear with topologically clean vector data. I'll be providing a clean CLC2006 as well, but because that one's still incomplete (and work in progress, actually) I think CLC2000 is more important.

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear writes autosave.xml into ${FG_ROOT}
While trying to find out about a different issue ('fgfs' not starting
at all) I noticed, that it still writes an autosave.xml into
${FG_ROOT} despite the fact that I've explicitly set
--prop:/sim/startup/save-on-exit=false
Now I'd like to learn wether someone is deliberately trying piss users
off or it this is just a bug ;-)
Is there really no way just to run FG without having _no_ garbage
written out to any files ?
Cheers,
Martin.

As soon as the various tools are working in a predictable manner, I'm planning to revive the central idea, the driving motivation behind all the effort, which is to build an infrastructure for re-compiling the respective terrain tiles on a regular, maybe daily schedule after the land cover has been updated in a certain region. Having a stable and reliable procedure to clean the vector data is one of the vital requirements for such an adventure, therefore I'm quite excited today Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

[Flightgear-devel] new fedora
Hello, I'm hitting an 'interesting' problem with the new fedora. For some reason, it's installing the PAE kernel (I guess I should have installed the 64 bit version). The problem is, when the system() is called - for instance, to copy an airport btg file from work to output, I get an error. Here's debug from copying of said airport: running cp ./work/AirportObj/w090n30/w085n33/KATL.btg.gz ./output/w090n30/w085n33 system: : Cannot allocate memory returned -1 I'm not buying the out of memory error. I've googled for this, but haven't seen anything interesting. Is anyone else running a PAE kernel on a 64 bit machine? Has anyone seen this issue? I don't want to lose another weekend reinstalling linux (again) Pete -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
