[Flightgear-devel] Observations on latest cvs flightgear

Here's my observations from testing the latest cvs flightgear/simgear/base: The fixed turn co-ordinater in JSBSim is great, unfortunately it doesn't work (freezes) after a reset. Its quite literally 'fixed' then ;-) The output from SG_INFO to the console (Event states, mouse in view/pointer

Last I heard, there were problems in cygwin's pthreads implimentation that prevented FlightGear from working correctly with threads enabled on that platform. I haven't heard that these issues have been fixed. At one point Norman Vine was trying to work with the cygwin/pthreads person to resolve

One of the problems is that JSBSim does its own output outside of the SG_LOG infrastructure. We'll need to modify JSBSim to allow custom logging interfaces, and that might be a bit of a tedious chore. No really. If we want JSBSim to have no output log, simply set JSBSIM_DEBUG=0 I don't

Ok, you are definitely running with a previous version of the scenery. Not a big deal, but that is the source of the discrepancy. I have cludged the materials.xml file for now to alias all the marked dirt runway textures to be concrete for now. Not a perfection solution, but at least we have
