I definately remember FG loaded sceneries on the fly as they come in via Terrasync. Perhaps your current setup fools FG into thinking it is not where it is supposed to be, thus not updating the sceneries? Ampere - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

One thing I should have mentioned is the current OSG RTT capturer does not capture menus/dialogs/etc (even if they are visible on screen). It only captures those "3D" stuff. This might not be a bad "feature", however, in my opinion. Pigeon. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

But FG currently doesn't load the newly downloaded scenery until the next run. Maybe worthwhile making FG to be able to reload scenery or something (either manually requested by user, or check file mtime maybe?). Similarly, I won't have all the aircraft everyone has, which means every now and then you will see someone on the map but empty air in the mpcam. Perhaps FG could load a default aircraft (c172p or ufo) when it hasn't got an aircraft for an MP or something. Pigeon. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

When looking at it yesterday, I noticed that one aircraft (in Europe somewhere perhaps, I didn't recognise it, and I forgot to note the Lat/Lon) was sitting on a runway in the map view, but floating above a vast ocean in the video view. I guess this means that the video source does not have all the scenery loaded. Is this on your todo list? Richard - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

> That's simply amazing! Now people can see what FlightGear is like before > downloading. :D Heh. Perhaps. At the moment it is mesa software GL rendering at 16bpp. Seems to be a limitation with Xvfb glx even if I run it at 24bpp and start FG with --bpp=24. Though I haven't looked into this close enough yet. Not to mention that Xvfb (the version I'm using) seems to crash every now and then, too. Anyway, at the moment it seems to mean no shadow, no 3d clouds, etc. On the other hand I have also seen glitches with some aircraft (Concorde is one of them iirc) Sometime later I will try to use the i945 on my server and see how it goes. It hasn't been used at all (graphics/3d wise). What a waste :) Pigeon. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

[Flightgear-devel] New screen streamer and mpcam
Hi all, Here it is again with my screen streamer patch. http://pigeond.net/~pigeon/fgfs.osg-plib.ss.20070820.patch It now supports two capture methods. The plain old GL capturer, and the new OSG Render-to-texture capturer, which should be more efficient for some people/cards/drivers. Please read the docs and examples in the screenstreamer.cxx for full details. The patch works for both FG plib and osg branch, though for plib you will need to change the #define HAVE_OSG to 0 (as there isn't an existing #define or anything I could use for that yet). And to just for fun and to show what you can do with the streamer, I've setup an experimental mpcam live camera hooked up with the FGMap. So you can *actually* see them flying side by side to the map. Just goto: http://mpserver02.flightgear.org/?mpcam Then click on the video icon near the top right. You'll need flash support in your web browser. The map will automatically follow whoever the mpcam is targeting. It is basically a FG running with the screen streamer. The stream is being transcoded on the fly into video (in this case, into flash video). It currently uses Syd's MIBS, with thanks for him fixing a few issues in the last few days. On the page you can select next and previous target to watch, goto the target immediately (useful when the camera got lost, lags or get stuck), as well as zooming in and out. There is only one instance of FG running and so everyone is watching (and controlling) the same camera. Try not to fight too much :) Bandwidth-wise I've set it to only allow roughly 20 people to watch at the same time. Pigeon. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
