How could I send object elevations for the old scenery when I'm not even using it (for obvious reasons), I use the France regenerated scenery or my own one.

[Flightgear-devel] Massive shared objects import webtool now active.
Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce the production status of the massive shared objects positions import script. Now, for the first time in flight simulators history (at least AFAIK), you just have to copy/paste new objects lines (STG format) directly in a webform to update scenery objects all over the world for all FG users using Terrasync. Add your email address to be informed of the progress of the update. Import should happen soon (let's say between 24 and 72 hours if your submission is fine, but it depends on the poor scenery maintainers workload!). The address ? http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/submission/ then choose mass import, or via the "Contribute" menu. Please note: 1. You must only import new objects, not the whole STG file you're working on! 2. Don't add models not present in the FG scenemodels database, nor (yet) OBJECT_SIGN nor OBJECT_STATIC. 3.

Schön wieder Fortschritte bei fgcom zu sehen. Und schön CMake + Git zu
sehen ;-). Habt ihr auch mal Holger Wirtz kontaktiert? Wäre vielleicht
ganz gut. Er ist beim LinuxTag in Berlin immer mit dabei - hat aber
ansonsten wohl viel anderes zu tun.
- In CMakeLists you can see that is possible now to set paths to
positions and frequencies files with:
-DSPECIAL_FREQUENCIES_FILE="fgcom-data/special_frequencies.txt"
-DDEFAULT_POSITIONS_FILE="fgcom-data/positions.txt"
Super wäre es, wenn diese auch als CMake Optionen von außen gesetzt
werden können - damit man das an sein System anpassen kann, ohne an den
Sourcen zu schrauben. Siehe Patch im Anhang.
Ansonsten habe ich für Linux noch die "pthread" Library hinzufügen
müssen. Eine saubere Lösung wäre wohl das irgendwie zu detektieren -
ggf. mal in die FG CMake Files reinschauen, und irgendwie abkupfern.
Mit dem Patch im Anhang hat es bei mir direkt funktioniert und fgcom
läuft einwandfrei. Das alte fgcom konnte ich nur auf meinem alten
Rechner laufen lassen (lansgsamer single core) - auf meiner modernen
6core Maschine lief das alte fgcom irgendwie nicht.

[Flightgear-devel] FGCom -> cmake
Hi all The last weeks Geoff McLane and me forked fgcom temporary at gitorious (http://www.gitorious.org/fgcom) and made some significant changes. Origin source is still available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fgcom/ - Most important change is moving fgcom to cmake build and trying to get fgcom compiling on all platforms again. - updated perl scripts to generate positions and freqs files with recent apt.dat/nav.dat - In CMakeLists you can see that is possible now to set paths to positions and frequencies files with: -DSPECIAL_FREQUENCIES_FILE="fgcom-data/special_frequencies.txt" -DDEFAULT_POSITIONS_FILE="fgcom-data/positions.txt" - Some minor changes for OSX: clenaing here and there, 10.5/6 i386/x86_64 universal support, individual (or macports) plib 1.8.5/PLIB.framework support, skipping osx 10.4 support, update iaxclient thread policy etc. Most work have been done by Geoff McLane with this cmake support now, many thanks to Geoff working on all this stuff and help to incorporate my osx changes to ONE single branch for all platforms. fgcomx as another fork on gitorious have been deleted. Now we need some testers and reporters for all platforms. When you want to help please checkout master and compile fgcom for your platform, install it and make echo tests or use it with your flightgear version. You will need current simgear and other dependencies of course (see readme, cmake 2.8, plib, OpenAL and current simgear needed). Thanks a lot, Yves PS. For next macflightgear release I would recommend to skip the old and buggy fgcom shipped with and replace it with a new build from this fork.

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear/Simulink/LabVIEW Interface
Hi, I have a thread here: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=16853 where I was directed to contact this email with questions. First, let me explain my goal with FlightGear. I would like run FG and take real-time data from it. I do not want to provide my own model, I would like to use one already established (the P51D was suggested to me). The data I would like to get is position (x,y,z), orientation (pitch,yaw,roll) and control surface information (elevator, ailerons, throttle, rudder). Modifying the control surface data is also important. With that data inside Simulink I will feed that to LabView using the Simulation Interface Toolkit (SIT) provided by NI which will then be interfaced with our hardware. I have had a few questions and it might be better to ask here rather than the forums. - From what I understand control surfaces can be modified using this block: http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/aeroblks/packnet_fdmpacketforflightgear.html ? - How can I get position and orientation information? I can instead use the velocity of the aircraft with respect to the wind if that is available? In general I want a way to define a level flight path. - I have been trying to find these two blocks in Simulink: http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/aeroblks/receivenet_ctrlpacketfromflightgear.html http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/aeroblks/unpacknet_ctrlpacketfromflightgear.html but I can't find them. I have the other 4 blocks but not these. I initially was using 2.6.0 but noticed that the web page was referring to 2.0 so I switched versions with no success. I have been looking in: Simulink Library Browser > Aerospace Blockset > Animation > Flight Simulator Interfaces. -Do you think it is possible in FG to get the variables I need? I am not worried about interfacing the programs once I can access the variable in Simulink (or for that matter LabView) that I need. This whole interfacing and project set up is new to me so any help you can give would be great. Please forward this to anyone you think can be of help. Thanks! Andy Andrew W.
