We started work on the prototype this last week. This prototype will only send (good and malformed ones) packets up down the line to see if the server/libraries can be take down with it (so no Flight Gear involved yet). We are having some problems with Pegasus (PLIB NET-lib) Its

[Flightgear-devel] ANN: Customized Joystick Bindings and Autodetection

2002-07-04 Thread David Megginson
I've just checked in a new patch for automatic joystick type detection (where available). NOTE: it will work *only* if you have a recent (2 months or so) CVS version of plib. Now, instead of /input/joysticks/js, you can use /input/joysticks/js-named to create bindings that will be used only for

Re: [Flightgear-devel] transponder

2002-07-04 Thread Alex Perry
Curt asks: Ok, so within flightgear, given a 'true' altitude, how can I compute the correct flight-level / pressure-altitude for display on the transponder? The simple answer is that you ask the static port for the air pressure, which in turn will ask the environmental module what the local

I just checked in new code to impliment a Bendix/King KT 70 transponder. There is no associated panel graphics at this point, I'm hoping that some will magically coughJohn/cough appear at some point in the future. :-) - Annunciators are implimented - Code selector knobs are working. - Code

Here in the USA we celebrate our independence with a lot of fireworks displays. That got me thinking ... is there anyone out there that wants to play around with opengl/plib and create a nice little 3d fireworks which we could include. Then in combination with our new script engine we could do

Of course if you actually went up to see the 3d fireworks effect, then to be completely realistic you should expect an F-16 on your butt after about 5-10 minutes. If you don't go for the big ones, such as Washington DC, you'll find plenty of general aviation pilots circling and watching the
