I played with FG and GE a while ago: http://pigeond.net/blog.html?cat=flightgear&comments=fgge The major problem was that with GE it only updates at quickest once every one second (typical GPS update rate I was told), no matter what you do. And the second thing is getting GE to "follow" the plane nicely. Though these were a few GE versions back, and I haven't looked at it since. Pigeon. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Google Earth FlightSimulator
Hello AnMaster, Last year I did a integration between FlightGear and a autonomous navigation system made by my enterprise to a research institute in Brazil and another team of project did a module to integrate the navigation system information (based on FlightGear's information) with Google Earth and seems to work very fine. The basic idea is create (and update) a XML file, into specific Google Earth directory, and this file contains specific tags that Goggle earth read and execute the commands described by each tag. Google earth read this file in specific time interval, then you can update this file with same time rate of Google earth is waiting for. Try search a information about this on Google earth website.

What about providing hooks for google earth to integrate into flightgear instead of the other way around? I'm not a lawyer but couldn't that solve the issues? So google earth does the rendering and only uses flightgear for the FDM, MP and such. /AnMaster > > Regards, Holger > >> I tested the google earth flightsim yesterday, the scenery looks very nice in >> some places but is very bad in others (like around my local airport, ESOE). >> Also many runways are extremely uneven, much more than realistic.

I spoke to Alex Perry from Google at LinuxTag2007 in Berlin. I asked him how FlightGera can use GoogleMaps as scenery. The problem behind is the licensing. They cannot give away the data without restrictions or something like a deal. Here is the last email from Alex: --- cut here --- I enjoyed chatting to you at LinuxTag. Let me know if you come up with a viable model whereby an open source project such as TerraGear could reasonably collaborate with a for-profit corporation such as Google.

Unlike TerraGear, some of the other open source projects are also legally not-for-profit entities and this may assist you in proposing collaboration opportunities. --- cut here --- But perhaps someone on the list has an idea how to work together with Google?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Google Earth FlightSimulator
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Someone should contact them and ask them for ways to integrate google earth into flightgear. I tested the google earth flightsim yesterday, the scenery looks very nice in some places but is very bad in others (like around my local airport, ESOE). Also many runways are extremely uneven, much more than realistic. The aircraft doesn't handle very realistically either. /AnMaster Erik Hofman wrote: > Hi, > > It looks like google provides a simple flight simulator with googlemaps: > http://marco-za.blogspot.com/2007/08/google-earth-flight-simulator.html > > Looking at the screenshots it does remind me of an early version of > FlightGear (which might or might not be true), but most of the key > strokes match flightgear dead on: > > http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/flightsim/index.html > > This makes one wonder.. > > Erik > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG3SAyWmK6ng/aMNkRCruuAJwL1U1HZp9Pi37TBivv/hJNqJkf9gCeMlZW rxL5TjgrKO9pC09Wtv6Q6eg= =Hgqe -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Flightgear-devel] Google Earth FlightSimulator
Hi, It looks like google provides a simple flight simulator with googlemaps: http://marco-za.blogspot.com/2007/08/google-earth-flight-simulator.html Looking at the screenshots it does remind me of an early version of FlightGear (which might or might not be true), but most of the key strokes match flightgear dead on: http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/flightsim/index.html This makes one wonder..
