RE: [Flightgear-users] Frames/Second and Hardware survey
snip Having a well defined test case (or set of test cases ... day vs. night, 3d clouds, shadows) is definitely important to having some sort of validity to the results. Benchmarking complex computer applications is not a fixed science. There are just way too many variables. Assuming we haven't scared off Paul from the task, my suggestion is to try to strike a balance between enough simplicity to make the task managable, and enough complexity to make the results useful. The results don't have to be perfect to be useful. Perhaps there could be an optional 'notes' field for a variety of special case comments to handle some of the nuances that are outside the core test case(s). Here we could make note if a particular video chipset or card has abysmal performance, or if some combination of things just don't work. That would be a useful tool when/if people shop for new hardware. Curt. snip I don't know if the FlightGear Live-CD (http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-users/2004-January/0068 94.html) is still in existance, or being maintained, but this would be an ideal way of benchmarking different hardware. Obviously it isn't going to give you information about Windows/Linux changes. My memory tells me that someone started to collect performance data based on one of the Live-CD versions, but I cannot find it in the archives, and I know that my memory plays tricks on me...

RE: [Flightgear-users] OpenGL/Windows Knoppix
Hello Arnt: Thanks for following up for me. I am becoming to understand what this all about now, but need to ensure I fully understand what you have said. I can run FG using OpenGL on a windows laptop, providing I run the graphics card from a Knoppix CD. To do this, do I download software and save it on a CD myself, or, do I have to buy the CD? I ask this as I have gone to the link of Knoppix you gave me and there are Icons, one of which is a link to Mirrors to download something. Further down the page you have the KNOPPIX4.0.2 DVD + CD Released as the heading and I have seen that if one has the bandwidth (I have ADSL) you can download it. Does this have to be downloaded on to a CD/DVD? Is this the release of a few days ago? After this I am not sure where to go, as you mention to boot from the CD, via the BIOS!!!. If you can direct me on this, hopefully I can get this in action very soon. It is nice to know that the computers will not be affected, as they undertake important work, I work on a very limited budget, prior to my retirement this year. Thank Again And With Kind Regards Martin Knoppix will let you test whether the graphics card in the laptop will work with OpenGL and Flightgear. Unfortunately, it will not fix it in any way that makes it work better in Windows. That said, yes, you can download Knoppix yourself, you do not have to buy the CD. Any recent release will probably tell you what you need to know. There used to be a Flightgear specific bootable CD, but I don't think it has been kept up to date recently (apologies if it has, please speak up if you know different). I use an old version (4) of EasyCD to burn ISO images when in Windows, because it works. I suppose that Nero can do it as well but I have never tried. Whatever software you use, make sure that you burn the ISO file as an image file, and don't just put it on the CD as a regular file. If you say what CD burning software you use, I am sure that someone on the list will know how to make it work properly. You may need to change a setting in the BIOS to make the PC try to boot from the CD before the HD, otherwise you will still get Windows. This is harmless, because if there is no CD it tries the HD next. It may already be set because Windows 2K and XP come on bootable CDs for easy installation.

RE: [Flightgear-users] Installing Linux for a better FGFS
Arnt, is it possible to install GNU/Linux along side Windows2000? I have plenty of HD space so as long as i am able to install it alongside win2k i will do that, otherwise i cant afford to loose windows 2000 (have no idea to configure a linux machine onto the university network that im on, and compatibility with various software i need to use). Of course you can. There are a lot of distribution available, choose something easy for a first try. FedoraCore is an example, Debian, Slackware, Mandrake are there just for you to install one :-) First you have to provide free space for Linux. Use a Partition tool like PartitionMagic and shrink the partition used by Windows to ... let's say half the size of the entire harddisk. Then you install Linux in the free space; let him decide how to create the partitions need without erasing the one used by Windows2000. If you are comfortable with the innards of a PC, and you have a little spare cash (or a friend with a spares box) consider getting a second hard disk to put Linux on, and switching between them (set the both to master and change the data cable from one to the other - with the power off of course). Whilst this is a pain to do, it does guarantee that you cannot damage your Windows installation during the time you play with Linux. Whilst most recent Linux distribution installers do a good job, it is still possible to wipe the entire hard disk if you choose the wrong option.

RE: [Flightgear-users] Atlas
OK, I have investigated this a little. All seems to be OK as far as I can see. I grabbed new checkouts from CVS of plib, SimGear, Flightgear data (bas), and Atlas. I built plib, then SimGear, then Atlas under cygwin (updated yesterday) on Win2K. I had to use LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib when configuring Atlas, but otherwise no special flags or options. I downloaded the w130n50 scenery from the 0.9.2 set, and installed it in the FGFS data directory as normal. I ran (all on one line): Map --size=128 --autoscale --fgroot=/home/richard.bytheway/FGFS/data --atlas=/home/richard.bytheway/FGFS/data/Atlas --smooth-color which generated a series of 1°x1° maps of the SF region, and w130n50 region, which are the only two areas of scenery installed. I have put w130*.png up at http://sucs.org/~mocelet/fgfs/map/ for reference. As your file showed, w130n50.png is nearly all blue. There must be something there otherwise it would not have made a png file (note that there is no w130n51.png file). The other png files have lots fo land in, as do the vast majority of the png files that I haven't copied to the web server. I then thought that you might actually want one image file of the whole w130n50 region. You can get this with the command line (tweak the numbers to suit your requirements): Map --lat=55 --lon=-125 --size=512 --scale=1000 --smooth-color which generates a file called map.png. I have put a copy of what I got at http://sucs.org/~mocelet/fgfs/map/map.png (340K).

RE: [Flightgear-users] getting Atlas going
Run ./autogen.sh first if you have the CVS version.

I have tried for some time but have not been able to, yet. I've tried on RH7.3 and now on RH8.0. Getting it built or getting the two programs communicating? You have to pass fg an option to send data and you need to pass Atlas an option defining the ip and port to look at. fgfs --atlas=socket,out,0.5,192.168.1.199,5600,udp Would allow connections from ip address 192.168.1.199 Change the ip address accordingly. It should be the ip of the machine atlas is running on. If you are running it on the same machine as fgfs use 127.0.0.1 ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users _ Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users __ __ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.

RE: [Flightgear-users] Re: Slow framerate near Burbank (real)
The voodoo 3 will limit you soonish though. I have run a GeForce2MX and a Voodoo3 in the same machine (600MHz Celeron, Win98, Cygwin), and there was a factor of 2-3 difference in the frame rate (10-20 for the Voodoo3, 20-60 for the 2MX).

Olson -- Monday 22 April 2002 14:16: One thing you could try (to see if the problem is too much scenery) is to reduce your visibility when your frame rate drops and see if that perks things back up. z and Z change the visibility on the fly. No, that doesn't help. I just started from KBUR and flew towards the mountains and my frame rate dropped from 5 to 0.3. The logs show hundreds of WARNING: DList stack overflow! BTW: Even without that bug fgfs' performance dropped dramatically during the last 4 weeks. I guess that the recommended CPU frequency must now be at 500 MHz or more. Even turning off the clouds and reducing the visibility hardly makes KSFO flyable now. That worked more or less before. Meanwhile I have to fly at simpler regions ... and to think about buying a faster computer. The Voodoo3 is not the problem---the 266MHz CPU is. :-( m. ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users __ __ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
