Hi, now I understand my problem. 1.) the rotations specified in the bo105.xml are done bottom to top (not a big problem, but surprising) 2.) if you rotate more than one object in rotation, than these objects seem to be grouped, so that if you want to rotate a single object of this group in

Could someone running plib cvs submit a patch for this? For now, I don't believe we need to make this adjustable. Maybe the 1U=parsec people would want to do so, but it is safe to say that the 0.01f value would already be a worse problem there. In src/ssg/ssgOptimiser.cxx, line 29: static

Hello, I've mailed the source and the files needed for using this with Melchiors Bo105 to Erik, Curt, David and Jim. It should be easily included to the actual source files. It is fully compatible to the old yasim. The simulation parameters are not optimized, but the flight behavior should

[Flightgear-devel] RFD: Proposed Changes to Airport Data Files

2003-10-13 Thread David Megginson
I'd like to propose the following changes to our current airport data formats: 1. In $FG_ROOT/Airports/basic.dat.gz (the airport-level data file), add two fields containing the ISO 3166 country code and a country-specific region code. Either can be represented by 'U' if unknown. For
