Re: [Flightgear-devel] Ideas for terrain shader structure in 3.0
I'm very keen on the placement maps myself, but they are fundamentally incompatible with the crop shader, as the placement information is required well above the shader layer. I like the idea of the placement masks, and one could use them to do LOD by passing the mask itself to the shader and using the color channels to do hires texture overlay and/or height mapping for the various functional regions, but there is just no way I can see to keep any pre-defined placement map structure free of the tiling problem - which is a problem for larger agricultural areas, the field patterns are quite distinct and their repetition is pronounced. I don't have a good answer. Let me know what it is you think we need. The terrain ubershader (terrain-haze-detailed.frag) ported to non-atmospheric scattering (should be easy, as the noise, texel mixing blocks and heightmap blocks are quite separate from the fog computations), corresponding effect file upgrades, and extra overlay and hires textures declared in the materials.xml files where needed would make the framework accessible to default rendering and your dds materials file. I don't know what is needed to launch it in Rembrandt. If anyone wants to have a look how the whole thing is structured, I rebased everything against today's GIT pull and pushed the branch to my repository git://gitorious.org/~trenk/fg/fgdata-advanced_weather-lightfields.git (the branch is 'terrain-haze', use Materials/regional/materials.xml in order to see the effects). I can't merge this in yet as I still have textures with unclear license in - I need to replace those by GPL compatible ones, at which point I will update the official Materials/regions/materials.xml definitions. So if anyone is good in texturing, I know how the textures should look like already - please get in touch. Otherwise I will try to come up with something myself. * Thorsten -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[Flightgear-devel] FG 2.8.0 Concorde - engines intakes animation problem
I'm playing with FG 2.8.0 and I found that animation of engines intakes on the Concorde is broken (they don't move/close when passing Mach 1.3). I'm not able to debug and/or correct this, does someone can look at it? I suppose the same problem is in the master git branch.

Sounds good, thanks for the update! What did they end up upgrading to? (Are you they or are they someone else? Who are they anyway?) Please pass along my thanks to them. :-) Curt.

[Flightgear-devel] Windows Abort Retry Ignore dialog at startup
Hi all,
Each, SG/FG/fgdata updated to release/2.8.0 today.
Full SG then FG clean and build using MSVC10 in Win 7,
64-bit...
That is with like -
$ git pull origin next
$ git fetch --all
$ git checkout release/2.8.0
$ git reset --hard origin/release/2.8.0
$ git branch
next
* release/2.8.0
followed by a full clean and build in an
o-o-s folder...
When the splash screen is showing 'initializing
subsystems' after several seconds, get an ugly
Abort/Retry/Ignore dialog ;=((
See:
http://geoffair.org/tmp/error-01.jpg
Have tried Ignore, but it keeps coming back,
and leads to other abort dialogs...
Only console output is -
KI226 dme indicator #0 initialized
loading scenerio 'nimitz_demo'
And will also try turning on log level debug
to see if I can closer track down where and
when it is happening...
As can be seen in the dialog it indicates the ESP
was not saved across a function call and that this
is usually the result of a function declared with
one calling convention, say stdcall, while a
function pointer is declared with a different
convention like say __cdecl ;=((
Is anyone else seeing this? Seen this? Found
a fix? ...
And indeed the line indicated, 589, in simgear
prop.hxx is a call through a pointer -
if (_getter) { return (_obj.*_getter)(_index); }
The getter_t _getter is declared without a
declared calling convention like -
typedef T (C::*getter_t)(int) const;
which means it would be the default, which is
__cdecl (/Gd) in MSVC10, as it has been for a
long time...
This suggest somewhere a call setting this _getter
pointer is passing a function declared with
say stdcall, fastcall or something other than
__cdecl...
Anyway, totally at a loss to find and fix this.
Any ideas, thoughts, things to try, very VERY
welcome...
Regards,
Geoff.
PS: In not quite the same rigorous cleaning,
updating re-build etc, also see/seen the SAME
thing in XP 32-bit with MSVC8... which suggests
it is not the compiler version, or OS version...
And does NOT happen in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bits...

Since I use tiling-less noise functions, we could easily get a 1cm scale heightmap for runway textures for instance, and we could give sand dunes same larger wavelength noises than rock. I can do this fairly easily. As mentioned previously, I think I'd want to handle this as a generic framework allowing properties to be defined in the materials.xml file that are then passed through to the effects and can be used in the parameters section. I've just pushed a change that allows a material definition in materials.xml to include a parameters section, which is merged with the parameters section of the effect. So you can now define parameters in the materials.xml file that can be used as uniforms in the effects file, and therefore shader. I haven't tested this particularly thoroughly beyond having half the water shader parameters in the materials definition, and half in the effects file. In particular the behaviour when you define the same parameter in both is untested.
