Re: [Flightgear-devel] getstart autogeneration on mapserver stopping to work?
Oliver, Thanks for your commit to git repository. It solved tex compile error on my machine (Tex Live on cygwin), however the manual on mapserver has still not be updated. Martin, could you please investigate what is the problem on mapserver? Here I'll summarize my think about the getstart problem on map server. (1) Current html version in http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart/ was generated on mapserver on February 16, 2013. Howerver, tex compilation seems to be stopped at 8.10 The autopilot. This issue was caused by an incorrect weblong usage on Feb. 16 in http://gitorious.org/fg/getstart/commit/4bb44e69eead605fd626a83e7535640b9ad908ce, and was fixed on Feb. 17 in http://gitorious.org/fg/getstart/commit/2c00caf3d7f00d69e02b0c6f3ed0c1903763e3d1. However, the manual on mapserver has not be updated until now. (2) Current pdf version in http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart.pdf was generated on mapserver on February 12, 2013. Probably, it will be updated when the autogeneration issue for html version is fixed on mapserver.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] getstart autogeneration on mapserver stopping to work?
Hi Martin, Olivier,
I saw your recent commits to
http://gitorious.org/fg/getstart/commits/master.
Unfortunately, tex updates seems still not have been reflected to the
PDF and html manual on mapserver since mid of February.
At least for my environment (TeX Live package from cygwin), as I wrote in
http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg39755.html,
by modifying takeoff.tex line 875
\subsection{Flight model\index{flight dynamics
model}}\index{options!flight model}\label{flight dynamics model}
to
\subsection{Flight model}\index{flight dynamics
model}\index{options!flight model}\label{flight dynamics model}
, the problem has been disappeared.
Could you try this modification to git repo and see what will happen?
Cheers,
Toshi

[Flightgear-devel] getstart autogeneration on mapserver stopping to work?
Hi all, Since mid of February, HTML and PDF version of the Manual on mapserver seems not to be updated. Latest commit in git repo of http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/gitweb.pl?p=getstart and http://gitorious.org/fg/getstart is February 17 2013 (that is OK). However, HTML version at http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart/ is dated February 16, 2013, and PDF version at http://mapserver.flightgear.org/getstart.pdf is dated February 12, 2013. I suspect that, for some reason, getstart autogeneration scripts on mapserver have been stopping to work since mid of February. Can someone check it? Moreover, HTML version of the Manual on mapserver doesn't include chapters of 8.11 and after, which is caused by incorrect \weblong usage in basic.tex committed on Feb. 16. Although \weblong usage was corrected by the commit on Feb. 17 in git repo, autogeneration scripts might be affected by this issue (I'm not sure). For reference, using makegetstart.sh and tex files in current git repo, I confirmed that html and pdf version of the Manual can be successfully generated in my cygwin environments.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] getstart autogeneration on mapserver stopping to work?
Hi all,
To say the truth, I have one issue for generating html version of the
Manual in my cygwin environment.
I had thought this issue was owing to my tex environment.
However, two hours ago, another Japanese forum user reported the same
issue on his OpenSUSE machine.
I'm not still sure if this issue is related to mapserver autogeneration
problem.
So, if you feel complicated, please ignore this report in the meanwhile.
With makegetstart.sh from current git repo, pdf manual is correctly
generated, but html manual is broken at the midstream of 4.5.4 Aircraft
section for my cygwin and his OpenSUSE environment.
/usr/local/src/getstart/getstart-en.log says:
[51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56]

\g:advance #1-\bgroup \def \:temp
{#1}\tmp:cnt =#1\afterassignment
\:gplus ...
l.875 ...light model}\label{flight dynamics model}
If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
By modifying takeoff.tex line 875
\subsection{Flight model\index{flight dynamics model}}\index{options!flight
model}\label{flight dynamics model}
to
\subsection{Flight model}\index{flight dynamics model}\index{options!flight
model}\label{flight dynamics model}
, the problem has been dissapeared.
As this line has not been changed for a long time in git repo, I guess
this issue is tex4ht environment dependent.
Cheers,
Toshi

such as:
8 / 2 Altitude adjust
4 / 6 Heading adjust
9 / 3 Autothrottle adjust
Since Dec. 2010, tab6.tex has been a table of simulator controls such as:
p Pause simulator
a / A Simulation speed up/slow down
t / T Clock speed up/slow down
Ctrl-R Instant replay
F3 Save screen shot
ESC Exit program
which were initially a part of tab8.tex (Miscellaneous).

To include Additional Autopilot controls table in the Manual, we may
need to restore autopilot related contents in old tab6.tex to another
new tex file.
Cheers,
Toshi

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear 2.0.0 Announcement text + Summary of ChangeLog
Hi, I couldn't find html readme file in FlightGear-2.0.0-pre3.dmg. As an alternative, I attached a text file format converted from previous TXT.rtf. - TXT.txt Cheers, Toshi banner.png ? FlightGear 2.0.0-pre3 for Mac OS X, Universal Binary February 2nd, 2009 We are very proud and excited to release the FlightGear 2.0.0-pre3 for Mac OS X. This release gives more comfortable flight to every single Mac user. It runs on Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard), and 10.6 (Snow Leopard). FlightGear 2.0.0-pre3 for Mac OS X comes with the fancy GUI launcher that eases your flight. You can change aircraft, airport, and options as you like. The launcher also makes it possible to fly with your wing mates. Enabling multi-player mode pops up a fancy on-line map so you can find your new wing mates. Tail-to-nose flight can be more fun with fgcom, an integrated voice chat client. It allows you to chat with your wing mate for better communications including Voice ATC. Moreover, FlightGear Mac OS X integrates Atlas - the navigation map that helps your flight plan. Thanks to the easy installer in the launcher, you can add new aircraft, scenery, GUI updates, and update files for existing files in a few seconds. Note that this release is a pre-release version and the selection of aircraft is not officially settled yet, so I picked up the same set of aircraft. Have a happy flight! Installing Simply drag drop the FlightGear icon into the Applications folder. It contains everything including OpenSceneGraph library in its folder. If you have an older version of FlightGear with some additional data, move it somewhere before copying this version to Applications folder. Overwriting FlightGear will remove post-installed data like scenery, models, and aircraft (This is a specification of Mac OS). Flying With FlightGear To launch FlightGear Mac OS X, just double-click the FlightGear icon at the Applications Folder. Then follow the steps below: 1) Launch the FlightGear at the Applications folder, and the GUI Launcher will appear. 2) Select an aircraft and an airport (or a carrier). 3) Check or uncheck Download scenery on the fly as you need. 4) Check Navigation Map (Atlas) if you want to use it. 5) Click the triangle button and change options if you need. 6) Press Start Flight, and the main window will appear. Wait for a while and you're ready to fly. For more detailed information in using FlightGear Mac OS X, read the documents on our website: http://macflightgear.sourceforge.net/home/documents/ What's New in This Release? There are so many new features added to this release since 1.9.1, which include: - The latest JSBSim that provides many new features - Model view for each aircraft on Multi-Player server. - Ambient color setting has been changed - Wildfire integration (see Environment Wildfire settings from the menu) - Ridge wind - Better integration of AI and ATC systems (I guess it's still in progress.) - Random failure mode added to Equipment - AI/ATC integration (I guess it is still in progress) - Tanker configuration for ATC/AI - AI Flight Plan updates allows flight plans to start at a given time - AI Thermal updates - AI Model updates: + for supporting geometry info using custom scenery project You can specify true to /sim/traffic-manager/use-custom-scenery-data for enabling this feature + for supporting per-AI-aircraft performance xml data. The performance data is stored in data/AI/Aircraft/performancedb.xml - Sub-models can be added to any AI objects (for paying frame rate) - Supports X-Plane 850 airport file format parsing; 810 is still supported and may be mixed with new format. - Some dialogs can be resized (by dragging at a corner) - Ground radar updated to display new pavements. - Retrieve the full pavement/taxiway description, made of several words - Directly associate runways objects with their ILS navrecord (if one exists) - Add variable winds (direction and gusts) for the boundary layer if defined in METAR. - Immediately fetch a metar if real-weather-fetch is re-enabled at runtime - New command line option --metar=some metar - Add support for generic binary input through network - Fixed that type codes for localizers and ILSs were swapped in the nav.dat reader - Save more than 20 percent execution time by avoiding multiple calculations of properties - Improvement on generic network protocol - Shader effects - Generic input device support (Advanced Input subsystem) for Linux and Mac OS X - Processing the ICAO.ils.xml scenery data into ILS/LOC nav records - More precise matching of ILS records to navaids - Update FGRunway to process information from threshold.xml files - Enable EffectCullVisitor - Supports random objects, vegetation, and static models on fgviewer - Allow the joystick hat to move the view, even when the sim is paused - Correct logic to determine if we really have a hit (on scenery) - fgviewer can be invoked from fgfs using --fgviewer option -

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [patch] 787-set.xml
Hi Curt, Thanks for your reply. Certainly, at the release timing of v1.9.0, 787_02_2008.zip was built and have been distributed via ftp. But it was not included to the aircraft download page, because your make-aircraft-html.pl can't handle aircraft version which includes _ (underbar). Log of make-aircraft-html.pl (generated in Mar. 2009): Extracting info from 787_02_2008.zip dir = 787_02 version = 2008 unzip /home/toshi/fg-cvs/install/fgfs/ftp/Aircraft/787_02_2008.zip '787_02/*-set.xml' '787_02/thumbnail.jpg' Archive: /home/toshi/fg-cvs/install/fgfs/ftp/Aircraft/787_02_2008.zip caution: filename not matched: 787_02/*-set.xml caution: filename not matched: 787_02/thumbnail.jpg dir = 787_02 version = 2008 ls: cannot access /tmp/787_02/*-set.xml: No such file or directory dir = 787_02 version = 2008 And because 787 files in current CVS have been changed since v1.9.0, I think file name of 787_02_2008.zip also should become different name for next v2.0.0 release. c.f.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Win XP FG 1.9.1 : Metar issues
Hi all, UltraZexe Zexeonyo wrote: In Windows, the graphics are great! With all the rendering options available, I am able to run FG at around 50 FPS, on average that is. However, unlike the OS X version, metar doesn't seem to want to update automatically. With everything enabled (fetch-weather, or real-time weather fetch) and METAR selected, metar doesn't want to update. It freezes and no matter how many times I click Metar, over and over again, over a period of an hour, the metar doesn't update. I may have the same METAR issue since FlightGear v1.0.0 for Windows. I suspect that FG users whose time zone setting of Windows PC between GMT+4 to GMT+13 are often affected by this problem. My time zone setting on Windows XP is usually set to Japanese Standard Time (JST = GMT+9). By changing metar-max-age-min type=long value in $FG_ROOT/preferences.xml from 240 (default) to 780 (540 mins longer than default), metar issue was dissapeared for me. So, as a quick fix, try to change your metar-max-age-min value in your preferences.xml. Note that I'm using a dual-boot PC with Windows and Ubuntu, and Ubuntu has no metar issue (at least for my PC). Using following options and metar-max-age-min value of 240, I tested both time zone setting of JST and GMT using my Windows XP machine: --enable-real-weather-fetch --log-level=warn --airport=KSFO --aircraft=UFO In case of JST, just after launched FlightGear, /environment/metar/real-metar was: 2010/01/13 14:56 KSFO 131456Z 25005KT 10SM FEW007 13/09 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP187 T01280094 53031 After 2 mins flight from KSFO with UFO, following conslole messages appeard: METAR data too old (559 min). no metar at station = KSTS METAR data too old (556 min). no metar at station = KSFO METAR data too old (559 min). no metar at station = KOAK METAR data too old (559 min). no metar at station = KCCR METAR data too old (558 min). no metar at station = KAPC METAR data too old (558 min). no metar at station = KHWD METAR data too old (556 min). no metar at station = KUKI METAR data too old (559 min). no metar at station = KLVK METAR data too old (557 min). no metar at station = KSUU METAR data too old (556 min). no metar at station = KNUQ METAR data too old (560 min). Error fetching live weather data: More than 10 stale METAR messages in a row. Ch eck your system time! Stop fetching data permanently. These message tell that all METAR datas were judged to be 540 min. older than their real age. In case of GMT, just after launched FlightGear, /environment/metar/real-metar was: 2010/01/13 14:56 KSFO 131456Z 25005KT 10SM FEW007 13/09 A3008 RMK AO2 SLP187 T01280094 53031 2 minutes later: 2010/01/13 14:53 KSTS 131453Z 22003KT 6SM BR SCT020 BKN030 10/09 A3003 RMK AO2 SLP164 T0189 53025 Pretty good!

[Flightgear-devel] [patch] 787-set.xml
Hi all, As you may know, 787 aircraft has been disappeared from official aircraft download page. cf. http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg21552.html To include the 787 on download page at the next release timing, I'll send a simple patch for 787-set.xml. This patch will also have an effect to prevent to become the same file name of 787_02_2008.zip with different contents, which were committed to cvs after Dec. 2008.

[Flightgear-devel] Request to distribute Aircraft/ATC zip file
Hi Curt,
I sincerely hope that you distribute Aircraft/ATC zip file via ftp
mirrors in next release timing unless it causes some kind of problem.
At this time, I guess your local /admin/make-aircraft-pkgs.pl file
will prevent to generate ATC_mmdd.zip file.
/admin/make-aircraft-pkgs.pl:
if ( $dir eq ATC || $dir eq CVS || $dir eq c172x ) {
next;
Cheers,
Toshi

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Update FG Short Reference
Hi all, From: YOSHIMATSU Toshihide qzt04...@nifty.ne.jp Subject: Re: [Flightgear-devel] Update FG Short Reference Date: Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:53:11 +0900 (JST) FG Short Reference uses 1.9.2, but the Manual uses 2.0.0.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Update FG Short Reference
Hi all, From: Stuart Buchanan stuart_d_bucha...@yahoo.co.uk Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Update FG Short Reference Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:55:00 + (GMT) I've spent an hour or so making the key assignments accurate and improving the mouse mode description. An updated version is available here: http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/FGShortRef.pdf Comments are very welcome as always. Stuart, here I describe some comments and minor corrections. Program Start: Linux/UNIX via the fgfs under /FlightGear, Windows via the FlightGear wizard fgrun.exe under /FlightGear/bin/Win32/ These path names seem as if /FlightGear is a root directory. I think it might be better to write FlightGear and FlightGear\bin\Win32, respectively. Hopefully, adding a path for Mac OS X launcher will improve the quality of the documents. I remember its subdirectory is FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources, but I don't know the name of launcher program. Can anyone suggest a short description about Mac OS X launcher? Tab. 5: Special action of keys, if autopilot is enabled. [U.S. keyboard uses . instead of ,] (snip...) 0 / , Heading adjust According to $FG_ROOT/keyboard.xml, AP heading adjustment keys are not 0 / , but 4 / 6. Thus, the description for Tab. 5. can be simplified as Tab. 5: Special action of keys, if autopilot is enabled. N/n Decrease/Increase selected propellor RPM Minor typo. propellor -- propeller or propellers. Mouse controlled functions: 1. In normal mode (pointer cursor), the panel and cockpit controls can be operated using the mouse. To change a control,click with the left/middle mouse button on the corresponding knob/lever. Generally, the left side of the control decreases the setting, while the right side increases the setting. The left mouse button makes small changes while the right button makes larger ones. I think left side and right side might be better to write left button and middle button, respectively. Meanwhile, to my knowledge of 1.9.1, left button and middle buttons act as fine and coarse tuning, respectively. Which knob/lever which can be increased/decreased using left/middle mouse buttons? 2. In control mode (cross hair cursor), the mouse is used to directly contol the aircraft in the absence of a joystick. Minor typo. contol -- control Holding the mouse button down while moving the mouse controls the throttle (forwards/backwards) and rudder (left/right). My suggestion. the mouse button down -- the left mouse button down Short Reference by M. Basler, S. Buchanan for FlightGear version 1.9.2. FG Short Reference uses 1.9.2, but the Manual uses 2.0.0. Which is correct as version number of the next release? That's all.

[Flightgear-devel] 787 disappeared from download page
Hi all, I'm new to devel mailing list. After 1.9.0 released, some users in FlightGear forum reported that 787 aircraft disappeared from download page. For more detail, please refer to my post in the forum. http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2t=3242#p29432 I guess either of CVS files need to be modified to fix this problem: - admin/make-aircraft-pkgs.pl - admin/make-aircraft-html.pl - data/Aircraft/787/787-set.xml But I don't know which file should be modified. I hope someone can correct this issue and comit to CVS. One more thing that I want to request is to include ATC aircraft, which is excluded to be packaged by make-aircraft-pkgs.pl. At the mean time, users who want to obtain ATC aircraft should use CVS client, or obtain CVS snapshot from git repository browser at http://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/gitweb.pl?p=fgdata;a=tree;f=Aircraft/ATC;hb=HEAD. You can see many users are in trouble to obtain ATC aircraft: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11t=3179. If we can obtain ATC aircraft from aircraft download page in next release, I'm happy.
