[Flightgear-devel] LaRCsim broken?
Hello Fred, thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware of this option. I assume "configuring fg with Cmake" means setting "ENABLE_LARCSIM:BOOL=ON" in "CMakeCache.txt". After doing this LaRCsim is compiled with some warnings but during linking I get the following errors: Linking CXX executable fgfs ../FDM/libfgFDM.a(LaRCsim.cxx.o): In function `FGLaRCsim::copy_from_LaRCsim()': LaRCsim.cxx:(.text+0xad0): undefined reference to `aircraft_' LaRCsim.cxx:(.text+0xb91): undefined reference to `aircraft_' LaRCsim.cxx:(.text+0xbe7): undefined reference to `aircraft_' LaRCsim.cxx:(.text+0xc19): undefined reference to `aircraft_' ../FDM/libfgFDM.a(LaRCsim.cxx.o): In function `FGLaRCsim::update(double)': LaRCsim.cxx:(.text+0xf03): undefined reference to `aircraft_' ../FDM/libfgFDM.a(LaRCsim.cxx.o):LaRCsim.cxx:(.text+0x1660): more undefined references to `aircraft_' follow ../FDM/libfgFDM.a(ls_step.c.o): In function `uiuc_init_vars': ls_step.c:(.text+0x1b): undefined reference to `uiuc_init_aeromodel' ls_step.c:(.text+0x26): undefined reference to `uiuc_initial_init' ... ... ... Is there something else I should know? Will LaRCsim be "on" or "off" in the upcoming release? (And how do I reply to messages correctly? I'm not familiar with mailing- lists.

There was a forum topic some time ago: http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5740 Check FGDATA/Docs/README.osgtext. Basically you add a to your model file something like ...all your other model animations... ... all the fancy text controlling properties go here You might want to play with screen This should keep your text on the same position on the screen, no matter where you look at. and use true so you can see a box around the area where you text should be.

Yes, scanning the instruments consumes some brain power if you learn to fly IFR. You are trained to scan the instruments in a specific order.

With OSGText, the font is rendered by OSG and you put text objects into the scenegraph just like any other 3d object. You can attach it to the world, your aircraft or you screen (which might be what you want). The gui text you create in screen.nas is rendered by plib which - IIRC - can only display texture fonts (*.txf?) and is somewhat limited in it's capabilities. It should be able to deal with font sizes but they might look ugly as these are pre-rendered to a specific resolution, just like textures.

There is a theory that if you present a message one word at a time, with each word flashing up in the same fixed location (like the center of the screen) you can actually increase reading rates and comprehension. This allows you to read without having to move your eyes to scan a page -- apparently you are not able to glean much visual information while your eyes are moving -- so scanning a whole sentence word by word is inefficient. I know in the speed reading courses you are taught to not look word to word, but instead jump through chunks of words and read several words per eye jump -- even to the point of taking in a whole line at a time if you can. I would like to do a rough prototype of such a system and I've been successful in building something with functionality from the screen.nas "window" class combined with a listener and a timer. If it worked with text -- what if we tried it with gauges too? Rather than scanning a "classic" instrument panel in a vague state of trance, the system could present the instruments in sequence -- at the appropriate rate and sequence to accomplish your scan for you. I know I'm getting a little bit "out there" with this, but I was contacted by some researchers that would like to play around with some of this stuff. However, now that I have all the mechanics working of presenting a message word by word in rapid sequence, my problem is that the font is too small and the word takes up a tiny bit of the screen. I'd like to use a much bigger font so the word takes up a much larger proportion of the screen -- and eventually maybe this would be appropriate for a panel mounted device -- or smaller display -- where the "default" font size wouldn't be big enough to read -- even with 20-year old eyes. I see (from git) that you are to blame for the liberation fonts in the data tree. However, I can't find any info or docs referencing them or explaining how to use them. Are they used anywhere? Are they just there to look pretty? Am I missing something obvious? Or is larger fonts something beyond the capability of the gui and only something available for 2d/3d objects?

[Flightgear-devel] Separate Instruments Display
Greetings, I am currently working with FlightGear in an academic setting, researching flight simulators for a senior design project. My team would like to find a way to view the environment simulation and the instruments one might find in the cockpit on two separate monitors. I was wondering if this functionality already exists in FlightGear or if someone could point me in the right direction of how to accomplish this goal.
