Re: [Flightgear-devel] GPS - merge request
If its any help , the error message pops up the instant the gps dialog is opened.The dialog seems to work regardless , so Im not sure what the problem is.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] GPS - merge request
No , Im not sure what caused the segfault... but the error message appears every time i try to use gps navigation ( with the b1900d).Another change in behavior is the heading needle deflection is extremely sensitive now when using nav1 slaved to gps. I could be wrong , i dont have the docs in front of me , but i was sure the gps deflection range was 5 nm.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft modellers - is a grain texture useful?
Ive been thinking about this since since you posted, and now i'm curious to see it.My initial fear was more framerate drop, but if it can be truly disabled I think its worth a try.Currently I can disable shaders and get decent performance , 30-40 fps , which makes a flight doable.I do keep trees on , with minimal impact if I keep the slider at 1.0 or less.Water reflection used to have nearly zero impact on my framerate , now its unuseable over the ocean or large lake.Not sure why but the skydome shader had very little effect on my framerate when it first appeared , now it drops fps to 10 from 40 . So I cringe every time someone mentions a fix,;).

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft modellers - is a grain texture useful?
I'd say no , its easy enough to do without yet another shader, since each new shader 'improvement" has me tweaking my aircraft to get back the frame rates I lost.But thanks for offering.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Improved usability
too tired to do proper testing right now but I'll try again later .Just noticed that a lot of switches have vanished in the b1900d and the terminal reports that the objects cant be found for animation , but that could be me not doing this wrong.Do pick animations need true now ?

Oh , and tooltips don't appear for me .Ive got a few days off now , so I'm looking forward to digging into this .

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Improved usability
Sounds like a definite improvement! I'll try it out when i get off work.oh ,and im a mouse flyer,i dont find a joystick appropriate for the type of aircraft i like to fly.one day i'll invest in a yoke,pedals and maybe even a throttle setup.

If you have a joystick, you don't need 'mouse drives flight controls' mode anyway, though of course novice users are the least likely to have a joystick.

This compensates for lack-of-resolution / texture-detail / head-movement issues in our 3D cockpits, and can give positive feedback which is lacking without touch or sound cues. This was added to help new users particularly, but there is a 'tooltip on click' mode which personally I find very nice, since it gives direct feedback to cockpit interactions.

The C172P is about 75% converted to tooltip / knob support, some of the radio stack elements remain. Use the Debug menu 'user interface options' to enable tooltips-after-timeout or tooltips-on-click. Options controlling the drag-sensitivity of knobs/sliders still need to exposed. The throttle, mixture, elevator trim controls plus all the obvious knobs on the main instrument panel are good candidates to experiment with dragging.

Especially, cosmetic issues are not my main concern right now; if people like the concepts / XML structures, people with more graphical skills than me can tweak the visual presentation easily. My preference would be to enable all of the above options out of the box, with /some/ of the items in the current debug dialog made permanently available so advanced users can disable them if desired.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] strange screen
Ive had this same issue for months now , on a laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250.It only happens on some aircraft , but i havent really tried to hunt the problem down. Im suspecting a shortage of video memory . I also can get full screen by changing the window size , but any dialog or text on the screen reduces it back to the bottom left corner.Possibly related , Ive noticed that the aspect ratio isnt updated when resizing the window. I hope someone else has an idea where to start debugging this .

[Flightgear-devel] upcoming release suggestion
Hi all . Before the next release , maybe it would be a good idea to disable those 'panel' outlines , which show up when you press 'C' to view hotspots. They are not exactly accurate ,as far as positioning , and probably would be a bit confusing to most users. Was there a purpose behind displaying these , was it a debugging thing ? Not sure why the bottom left corner of the rectangle starts in the center of the defined panel area , but either way , it doesnt appear to serve any useful function for the average user.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Missing texture files
Looks like some i missed.I converted most of the textures to winter versions long ago,and cant remember if I just missed those or they didn't exist at the time.I see a sand.png, maybe it would make more sense to change the material.xml file to use that one sand.png texture for winter scenes. I can add a golf course winter version if everyone agrees. I still prefer the winter textures over that shader snow.

Actually I'd prefer the auto-coordination property to remain , and the options to enable it too , just that it be handled in an autopilot file rather than hard-coded. I've added a sort of auto coordination to the R22 below a certain airspeed, otherwise I cant get it off the ground no matter how fast I tap those rudder keys , and enabling auto-coordination would be a easier in these situations, i think. At least for those of us without rudder pedals. It would mean more work for aircraft designers , but a simple filter should easily do what the code does.

[Flightgear-devel] auto-coordination
Hi folks, Ran into a little problem just recently. I was informed on IRC that auto-coordination broke autopilot behavior and eventually it went out of control. I admit I never thought about it before , I've never used it , even with a mouse as my only controller . I could add a check every time autopilot is engaged to disable it while autopilot is active , but my real question is , can it be removed from the code ? It consists of three lines in flightgear/src/Aircraft/controls.cxx , but it seems that this should be handled by the autopilot system. Any thoughts ?

[Flightgear-devel] gpl scenery
This discussion about scenery reminded me of a few things , one of them is me not understanding what Martin is working towards...I probably should pay closer attention .Sorry Martin. I've been very interested in seeing an improvement in scenery , but i think covering it up with shaders is the wrong way to go , that's why we have a texture database/landclasses/etc .Not meaning to discredit anyone's work , i just think it's unnecessary and just one more step in slowing FG down. One reason i gave up , (i havent seen a default canadian airport with correct taxiways yet), is that I dont know what the FG community considers GPL compliant. I use Aerodrome charts for reference , and then modify the existing scenery tiles by the measurements written on those charts. Ive used Qgis with shapefiles from a canadian wms server as a background image to tweak the shapefiles from http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ .I assumed these were non-gpl work habits so never bothered offering to submit them. I guess my question is what method is acceptable ? To my way of thinking these methods are no different than modelling an aircraft by studying many images of that aircraft Just looking for more clarification about how a scenery developer SHOULD proceed. My lofty goal once upon a time was to fix all the canadian airports , but it seemed that we are still continuing to use Robin's apt.dat file rather than a custom FG file , and its a LOT of work to get good results. Im guessing there's a lot of well done custom scenery out there , but I wont install it if its in some obscure 'hangar'. If my assumptions are incorrect , my apologies , just shows how out of touch i am with Scenery development :) Cheers -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Yes the 'its GPL so i can do what ever i like, so na na boo boo ' argument comes up over and over and over we all know what GPL is , but i never hear , "hey i'll help you maintain it !"

As stated in Docs/README.xmlsound , The volume calculation due to distance and orientation of the sounds source ONLY work on mono samples!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Shader properties and dialog
I'm also in favor of this move trees had barely any effect on framerate here , before being added to shaders.3d clouds are managable. Water reflection never had much impact (until my last update) , but i understand that its a work in progress... Enabling land-mass and transition effects will freeze the simulation for a few seconds before it resumes at 9-10 fps , from an average of 30-40. Im still scratching my head over the crop textures , but i'll say no more about that ;) So having more control of which effects i can use and still being able to fly would be fantastic.

[Flightgear-devel] Aircraft split
Hi . Though it appears to have it's drawbacks , from a selfish point of view ,the split makes work here much easier. Thanks again. Just another (possibly useless) idea . What about adding a text/xml file of all available aircraft , or even an aircraft.dat file,somewhere in fgdata? I haven't thought it out too deeply , but maybe in this format : Aircraft: Citation-X Author: Syd Licence: GPL URL: git clone or download url Splash: path/url to thumbnail It would be up to the aircraft developers to fill it in and maintain it, and possibly a nice little GUI could be created to automate the viewing and downloading. Just a thought. Cheers -- The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear aircraft repository
Just to add my own 2 cents while the central repository is a fine idea , after the move to git , I lost any commit rights to my own work, so after a time i gave up on the idea of maintaining them and started my own repositories . I would have happily continued to maintain/upgrade them , and I,m hoping this change might make things easier ... but if Im now being told that my work can be changed without any notice to me , that i have no say over my own contributions, then I wont waste any more time here. I do appreciate addons to my work , particularly stuff I dont/cant do but saying "it's in the central repo so i can change it whether you like or not" does dampen the spirit of contribution . Kind of reminds me of a contract or two Ive signed in the past , and I really hope FG isn't coming to that. Remember when we had common courtesy here ? And we all discussed changes openly ? P.S. After proofreading this have decided i need sleep :) Cheers -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.

Ok , i didnt realize autothrottle was taking over... and yes the CitationX has no autothrottle .Im in the process of fixing these issues.I probably borrowed an autopilot file to adapt for the Citation and didnt clean it up.

I did a DESCEND/CLIMB mode for the b1900d autopilot , and a few others that i never did commit , but have to admit I'm not sure what you mean by decoupling the throttle ... is there a controller in the autopilot file that's taking control of the throttle at the same time ?My apologies if this sounds like a dumb question but i cant see your autopilot file ;) Cheers On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 11:20 AM, Heiko Schulz wrote: > Hello, > > I'm looking for a way to create a correct FLCH-Mode for autopilots like it is > used on the real Citation X or Dornier 328. > > Usually it works this way: > Engaging this mode the AP will maintain the pitch to hold the current or > selected airspeed. > > Maintaining throttle by the pilot will maintain the climbrate. > > > We have already in FGFS a "Speed-Hold by Pitch-trim", but whenever increasing > throttle you also increases target-speed. > > Is there are way to decouple it? > > Thanks > Kind Regards > Heiko > > > still in work: http://www.hoerbird.net/galerie.html > But already done: http://www.hoerbird.net/reisen.html > > -- > All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a > definitive record of customers, application performance, security > threats, fraudulent activity and more.

This has been a problem for a long time. In this case I think it's due to the light weight of the aircraft. The approach speed has a large impact on this problem , and reducing the approach speed to 25 helped a little.I've also had this problem with ultralights Ive modelled , and applying brake made it worse.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Minor GUI layout improvements
Sounds logical to me ...the double weather systems are a bit of nuisance , would be nicer, in my opinion , if they could be combined in a single dialog but not sure if that's possible.I use real world weather anyway , so i never use those settings.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Nasal: Creating a new node
Try this:

myTempNode.setValue(getprop("instrumentation[0]/altimeter/indicated-altitude-ft"));

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Clarification on YASIM input (actionpt)
On the other hand, YASim does not take into the wing downwash > or the propwash while computing the tail incidence (while they are > first order contributors) so I would not use the word 'fidelity'. Does jsbsim ? I've just begun to look into it , so I don't really know jsbsim's capabilities. Cheers -- EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
