Re: [Flightgear-devel] Fair practice autorisations

 All people need to know that 60% (or more... it's approximate) of
 aircraft available for flightgear  are created by helijah.
 More than 80% of them are totaly crappy ! They aren't a good point for
 FlightGear project !

I think you're mistaking Flightgear for a commercial project here.

Sure, in an ideal world, people would make very realistic aircraft models,
combine them with well-researched FDMs and then use all the available
technology to model systems. Problem is, very few people combine all these
skills (I for instance am not a 3d modeller - while I can see myself
coming up with an FDM, I can't see myself do a cockpit).

This is where the beauty of open source and a repository comes in -
someone can make an aircraft model and commit that without doing much FDM
work. It now belongs to the project under GPL. I can use the model in an
AI scenario. Someone else can simplify the model and use it to populate an
airport with parked aircraft. Yet someone else can pick it up and make an
FDM for it. Which we couldn't if it wouldn't have been created and
released before.

There is no real problem if unfinished work appears in the devel version
of Flightgear - that's part of what it's for. I have, on occasion, even
asked aircraft modellers if I could have their unfinished work, because I
was interested but it wasn't on GIT yet.

If you want to blame someone, you have to blame the people who made the
decision to make all aircraft in the repository available to the end user
as well. But that point has been made a while ago, it has led to
discussions about a formalized rating scheme for aircraft, that scheme
exists and is being implemented, more and more aircraft are rated, so now
the end user is getting a fair chance of knowing in advance if the
aircraft he is about to try is finished work or not.

 Imagines
  a man who don't know FlightGear project : he test 1, 2 ,3 aircrafts by
 helijah then he says pfff all these aircraft are unusable. I leave
 FlightGear and I go buy MSFS !

*shrugs* I would assume that the average user is capable of some rational
thought. The FG base package comes with hand-picked aircraft, so on your
first contact with FG you learn how well they can be made. From there,
it's a realization that in open source not every work is equally well
done, and a quest looking for the aircraft you like.

Which the rating scheme makes a lot easier now.

 I'm really convinced the work made by helijah is bad for FlightGear
 project. Aircrafts created by helijah aren't realist.

So he's a 3d modeller, not an FDM specialist - so what? Does that mean
that 3d models are worthless for the project because of that?

 It will be good if FlightGear community take conscious of this !

Do you honestly believe that you're the only one who has realized that
there's unfinished work in the repository? I mean, seriously?

Please, seriously change your perspective in this discussion. Things may
have their use even if you can't see that - just try go looking for it
then.

Cheers,

* Thorsten

 I never refused improvements (Long Ez, Velocity XL, Carreidas 160, B25,

Which isn't true.

You refused my improvement to the Velocity XL due to personal reasons,
and you refused the contribution by another person due to missing respect.
And there has been some more examples in the past!

Read from here:

 the end user is getting a fair chance of knowing in advance if the
 aircraft he is about to try is finished work or not.

I stumbled some time ago about a review of FGFS.
As this time about 50% of all aircraft downloadble was by Mr. Baranger. The 
reviewer indeed managed to test only the aircraft by Mr. Baranger, and the 
review result wasn't very good...(unfortunately I don't find it anymore between 
the many FlightPro...xxx o Google.)

I agree that OpenSource allows to add unfinished aircraft and that it can be a 
Plus for OpenSource. 
But that doesn't mean that you automatically have to do this!

It can be also a Minus as it seems for me as our system has been abused here, 
and yes, the fact that all aircraft are downloadable without any sign of their 
state may FGFS let look bad! 

But I haven't heard yet, that the Download page will show the rating!
Is there something coming now with FGFS 2.6.0??
But exactly this was one reason when I started the discussion about Aircraft 
status in the forum.

 *shrugs* I would assume that the average user is capable of some rational
 thought. The FG base package comes with hand-picked aircraft, so on your
 first contact with FG you learn how well they can be made. From there,
 it's a realization that in open source not every work is equally well
 done, and a quest looking for the aircraft you like.

We are cross-platform, and as there are many people out there using Mac or 
Windows, they aren't in OpenSource as you or others here are.

As a new user of FGFS, heard how realistic FGFS is and how better than MSFS,  I 
would feel cheated if I see a very nice aircraft exterior on the Thumbnail, but 
when I use the aircraft I don't see any instruments, and the flight behavior 
being completely unrealistic.

 It will be good if FlightGear community take conscious of this !

 Do you honestly believe that you're the only one who has realized that
 there's unfinished work in the repository? I mean, seriously?

Seems to be a language barrier here- he doesn't meant to take conscious of 
unfinished work, but the effect of currently about 200 (!) unfinished and 
mostly unusuable aircraft. We can't say that we are realistic but providing 
more than 60% of unrealistic/unusable aircraft.  

And again: and of those aircraft about 5-10 are suffering from serious licence 
issues!

 Please, seriously change your perspective in this discussion. Things may
 have their use even if you can't see that - just try go looking for it
 then.

And please, please, read this here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28840950

The fact that we have now 3 different threads about the same topics: DC3, 
licence violation and cooperation in an OpenSource project, makes it difficult 
to see where the real problems are.

Or better described by David:

It's fabulous how one
could make a mess, in an almost untracable way if you don't follow the mess
in live time. It's easy to mix up conversations in different posts to cross
the comments to make the story in your favour and make it non
understandable by creating holes into the discussions for those who
didn't followed. A good example is this thread on the devlist which is
finally split into different posts! There's one that is seriously skilled
and have nice techniques! I take note of them.

Just wanted to add, cleanup-patches are more than welcome, but for a large

No, there's no written law that you have to do it.  But's it's the
well-known recpe behind the success of OpenSource - also known as
Release early, release often.  Therefore I'd recommend to continue
applying this rule @ FlightGear.

 We are cross-platform, and as there are many people out there using
 Mac or Windows, they aren't in OpenSource as you or others here are.

I think we should remind ourselves that FlightGear development is being
carried on mostly by developers, not by users.  If you'd like to impose
the requirement to follow almost every (sometimes pretty braindead)
user habit onto FlightGear, then you're probably going to kill the
entire project.
I know, I'm exaggerating quite a bit, but the basic tendency is still
true.

Cheers,
Martin.

The reviewers could have also fly only from automatically-created
airports and conclude that there are no airport buildings in FG. Is it a
reason not to put unfinished airports in FG? Maybe the problem is that
FG boasts hundreds of aircrafts instead of airports :-D.

In my opinion the right way is to improve the unfinished a/c and not to
banish them.

That said, highlighting planes that are in the best state would be cool
- e.g. filter in fgrun set to 'only those having at least 3-3-3-3 stars'
by default or a status on a splashscreen.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Fair practice autorisations

2012-02-17 Thread thorsten . i . renk
 The fact that we have now 3 different threads about the same topics:
 DC3, licence violation and cooperation in an OpenSource project, makes
 it difficult to see where the real problems are.

There's a number of separate issues here.

* license violation of some commits
- this is a real problem, but I see no need to discuss this - it's
brought to the attention of the people who have the rights to address this
on the repository, if it's not obvious at this point that it needs to be
dealt with, then why should further discussion help?

* allegedly (I haven't checked) insults exchanged between people working
on the same aircraft, followed by insults which I have witnessed
- this is childish behaviour and should not be discussed on this list at
all - adult people in the same project should be able to communicate in a
professional manner with a basic level of politeness, regardless of
personal disagreements. Certainly piling new insults on top of old ones,
or mixing any other grievance with a person or the project at large isn't
going to help

* unfinished aircraft in the repository
- seems useful to be to point out that there is a rational for having them

* unfinished aircraft offered for download to end users
- I am one of the people who nag and push for a rating, but these days I
see the issue being addressed, maybe not as fast as I would like, but the
world isn't perfect - certainly a soft of consensus has been reached and
re-opening the issue won't help

* misunderstanding about the nature of the GPL license
- this is somewhat counter-intuitive and has been explained properly

* unwritten rules for who is author and who decides what gets committed
- tend to lead to problems, but this can be sorted out in a reasonable
way, if necessary by forking. My personal impression is that original
authors try to retain far too much control - anyone working closer to the
core has to live with what others do and co-ordinate efforts. Case in
point - weather radar development in the forum: This heavily relies on the
weater system writing out the right info, you can't do it alone. So who is
author in the end? Doesn't matter to me.

* dislike of certain FDMs by certain people
- simply don't use it, if I think a particular aircraft is
bad/unfinished/whatever I don't fly it, likewise if I think a bit of
scenery is badly done I don't go there - maybe I offer constructive
criticism or try to improve it, but I don't think trashing someone's work
in public will do any good whatsoever. Likewise, if you don't like to
develop for a certain FDM, then don't do it.

Above all, the problems shouldn't be mixed together. If there is a
problem, that should be addressed, but not by creating a new problem. If a
person has reacted improperly in some context, it doesn't give grounds to
calling his work worthless in public. If the Flightgear project offers
half-finished aircraft for download to the end user, that is not the fault
of people commiting unfinished work to GIT.

I don't think it's particularly difficult to see where the real problems
are. I just think there are some personal grudges obscuring their
identification.

Cheers,

* Thorsten

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft/Scenery development list needed?

2012-02-17 Thread Curtis Olson
Hi Yves,

I am open to this sort of thing, but I wonder if our development list might
be sufficient.  It's relatively low traffic these days -- and we do have a
section for this on the forum.  We have a flightgear-flightmodel list that
is almost never used.  The thing about creating a new mailing list is that
none of the relevant people are initially subscribed to it, and since it's
all voluntary it could be that many of the important people would never get
around to subscribing???

So my personal opinion is that I'd prefer to just discuss aircraft 
scenery development on the devel list until such point where there is so
much traffic that it every one is asking for a separate list.  On the other
hand, if there is enough desire for this now by enough people, I'm willing
to be convinced.  My intent is not to dig in my heals and be a barrier to
people working, but I don't want to go through a lot of extra effort for
something that won't be effectively used either.

Thanks,

Curt.

 without success. I hope there isn’t already another list and I missed it

I've managed to get this done, and passed the results to Curt, so the
2.6.0 Aircraft Download page will show ratings for aircraft, or a ? if
the aircraft has not been rated.

Currently, 34 of the 401 aircraft in fgdata/Aircraft have been rated (8.5%).

Great!

On a slightly related note, stumbled accross this: a HTML5 JavaScript library 
to render 3D models 
in .ac format using WebGL. Might be a nice addition to our download page...

Hello Stuart,

 I've managed to get this done, and passed the results to Curt, so the
 2.6.0 Aircraft Download page will show ratings for aircraft, or a ? if
 the aircraft has not been rated.

Many, many Thanks for the work! 

I have created now a merge Request including the ratings of aircraft I have 
been involved, I hope it is not too late.

[Flightgear-devel] (no subject)

2012-02-17 Thread Heiko Schulz
Hello,

My last two cents about

[snip]
 ...Above all, the problems shouldn't be mixed together. If there is a
 problem, that should be addressed, but not by creating a new problem. If  a
 person has reacted improperly in some context, it doesn't give grounds to
 calling his work worthless in public. If the Flightgear project offers
 half-finished aircraft for download to the end user, that is not the
 fault
 of people commiting unfinished work to GIT.

 I don't think it's particularly difficult to see where the real problems
 are. I just think there are some personal grudges obscuring their
 identification.
[/snip]

The whole text was a good summary.

But the whole discussion and the issues have been just symptoms of following 
problems in my eyes.
And I'm very sure, if we don't solve that we will have such a discussion in the 
near future again!

1.) to large FGdata-repo/ not transparent rules for committing 

2.) aircraft rating scheme and Download page

3.) apparently inconsequent handling when licences has been violated 
(intended/unintended)


about 1.) We really need a splitting of FGdata! Even if FGdata is the place for 
developement I don't see the need to download 10GB to have more than 200 
aircraft in developement most of us not interested to improve due to different 
reasons.

It has been already discussed here: 
http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Git:_splitting_fgdata and in the moment 
it sounds good to me when it will really work as described.

about 2.)as the Download page will now use the rating system I hope this will 
solve this problem. 
We should really not ignore the fact that a lot of users will measure the 
quality of our simulator with the quality of aircraft we offer. We are a 
flightsimulator, it is all about flying and not only just showing nice looking 
aircraft-model.


about 3.)already part of the planned splitting Fgdata. Such issues may happen 
due to different reasons (intended, unintended...), but needs some better 
handling. In the previous discussion about the current licence issues I had the 
feeling that the issue is underestimated and not taken seriously, but I might 
be wrong here.
