In general, I would far prefer the C172P to be as high quality (and functional as possible), rather than worrying about 'ownership' of this particular aircraft. I realise for most aircraft ownership is very important to the original developers, but since the C172 is the default, I think it should be understood as a group effort. Of course if someone volunteers to act as maintainer, that'd be great, and more power to them! James -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Flightgear-devel] BUG - Evening, Rain, Propeller
Hi, this bug is best seen by an example. Look at http://www.martinlaabs.de/tmp/fgfs-screen-008.png The view through the propeller is free of rain. This is most impressive if the sun is near the horizon. The rain is also falling into the cockpit which is annoying. I use the current CVS version. Greetings, Martin Laabs -- Come build with us!

This is most impressive if the sun is near the horizon. The rain is also falling into the cockpit which is annoying. The first thing is more a issue of the aircraft developer- it can be fixed by changing the prop-animation. ( there are some other prop-aicrafts which don't show this issue...). The Model-Author of the c172p has this on his list, but did not find any time to change this... The second bug is really annoying, but to fix this means to change the hardcode - no idea if someone is around with the knowledge to do so, but for the next relase it would be really good Regards HHS -- Come build with us!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] BUG - Evening, Rain, Propeller
So how does one to fix the issue on the aircraft then? In the tu154b I cannot see rain or snow outside the cockpit at all do to (I think) the transparency on the windshield. The rain/snow/etc inside the cockpit should be easily fixable using the depth buffer, but I'm not familiar with the flightgear/simgear/osg code base so I cannot be any help actually implementing in flightgear. Theres also a bug with the rain/snow when moving the camera around, in that it a appears to `speed up'...not sure a better way to put it. cheers! -- Come build with us!
