[Flightgear-devel] Random building bugfix for Atmospheric Light Scattering
Following a forum bug report http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=68t=18924 I had a look at random buildings in Atmosperhic Light Scattering (which I normally don't use). I just pushed a fix * ensuring that the Mie angle gets correctly to the fragment shader * and simplifying the first pass rendered to fill the depth buffer - imho it needs neither read a texture nor compute fog Stuart, please have a look especially at the second point - I can't see any visual differences, but maybe I've overlooked something. This should also go into the release branch. * Thorsten -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

[Flightgear-devel] generators for tangent vectors running even if they should not
Hi all.
I just noticed an old bug still existing in (my!) old code. I
currently have no possibility to git pull the latest code and do a
merge request, so maybe someone could do this little change to the
code:
In simgear/scene/material/EffectGeode.cxx, around line 73. All tangent
generators currently run for every model using generate tag, even if
the value is not stored. So maybe modifying the code to look like this
would fix it:
if(geometry _effect.valid()) {
if(_effect-getGenerator(Effect::TANGENT)=0 ||
_effect-getGenerator(Effect::BINORMAL=0 ||
_effect-getGenerator(Effect::NORMAL)=0) {
// Generate tangent vectors for the geometry
...
...
}
}
}
end of function
Currently there might be no significant change, as only generators
available are for tangent vectors AFAIK, but this might come in handy
later if more generators are added.
Cheers, Lauri

[Flightgear-devel] Checklists enhancement
Hi Guys, Just a quick note to mention that I pushed a change to the checklists function last night that allows you to add condition blocks to checklist items to indicate when the checklist item is complete. If a condition block exists for an item, it's displayed in green when evaluated to true, and yellow otherwise. This provides the user with some feedback that they've completed the checklist item successfully. Documentation is available under Docs/README.checklists, the wiki (http://wiki.flightgear.org/Aircraft_Checklists). The c172p contains a number of examples. I'm thinking of combining this with the tutorial system so you can have a virtual co-pilot go through the checklist, calling out the items for you to complete. I'd be interested to hear if those who like flying heavy iron think this would be a useful function. -Stuart -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

[Flightgear-devel] HUD, runway projection
Ahoy Guys,
while doing some research for the wiki[1] the idea came across to
center the (seemingly not properly working) runway projection, the
big fat arrow on the default HUD, pointing to one o'clock here[2], and
make it more flexible. Even though it does not actually project the
active runway on the HUD, it still points to its direction. I am aware
that sooner or later canvas[3] will replace the actual HUD system and
therefore probably not much effort will go into the current one
anymore. However, until then it would be nice to make something more
useful out of it or, as a second option, disable the instrument in
Huds/default.xml. And because the arrow is very obvious, just letting
it hang out at the corner does not make the HUD prettier.
Enclosed are two patches, both tested on FG 2.10 and git next:
HUD-runway_offset-fgdata.diff
Changes the coordinates in runway.xml to have it centered. Nearly, at
least. For unknown reason it disappears if centered along the y-axis.
Therefore that one unit offset in the patch.
HUD-runway_property-fg_source.diff
Alters the property for the airport runway is pointing at from
/sim/presets/airport-id to /sim/tower/airport-id. Right after
starting FG these are the same but now the user is able to make the
arrow pointing to some other airport or to the closest one by setting
up the Tower Position via menu.
A screenshot[4] showing the centered one for your approval or not.
Thank you very much
Alex

I played with FPV and OSD in the search field, OSD is FPV-slang for HUD, and these comes in _all_ kinds of screen style variants, so I guess we could use a wee mention to point FPV people the right way here. ;o) [4] http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/fgfs-screen-259.php -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Release candidates
I cant use the shaders ,and prefer not to use that one anyway... so please dont remove the snow textures. The nicest thing about flightgear is I can turn off all the 'extras' , and get great framerates. Cant say that about my current install of Xplane 10.

[Flightgear-devel] ..has anyone tried testing FG build scripts in fresh trees?
Hi, ..has anyone tried testing FG build scripts in fresh trees? ..as in, mkdir -vp test-tree ;cd test-tree ;wget -c \ http://www.gitorious.org/fg/fgmeta/blobs/raw/master/download_and_compile.sh ;chmod -x download_and_compile.sh ;\ sh download_and_compile.sh -a n -p n -d n -j 2 ALL , like our recipe: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu says is possible? I get errors, the weird part is I can prime my test tree, and then most parts of download_and_compile.sh works, e.g. plib, openrti, OSG, SG and FG all builds ok, but FG bombs right out: ./run_fgfs.sh ./fgfs: error while loading shared libraries: libRTI-NG.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
