[Flightgear-devel] unhandled write

2005-11-15 Thread Wendell Turner
Monday's CVS seemed to work fine. If the command line included the argument --telnet=8898 fgfs ran ok. However, with this evening's CVS, with that argument, I get this: WARNING: Network: 17: unhandled write Bus error and fgfs halts. I don't mean to whine about bugs; I realize that everyone

[Flightgear-devel] fgtie in route_mgr

2004-07-15 Thread Wendell Turner
Here are some fixes so that a property element is tied to the route manager list. Would someone with cvs access check these and commit them to cvs? http://www.halcyon.com/wturner/fgfs/route_mgr.hxx http://www.halcyon.com/wturner/fgfs/route_mgr.cxx Thanks, Wendell

[Flightgear-devel] no altitude in route waypoints

2004-07-13 Thread Wendell Turner
There does not seem to be altitudes in the new route structure. (Or, at least, they are not loaded into the autopilot.) In 0.9.2 you could set a waypoint to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the aircraft would fly to the intended waypoint at the specified altitude. Has this feature been removed, or

[Flightgear-devel] autopilot properties

2004-07-12 Thread Wendell Turner
What is the difference in these properties? /autopilot/route-manager/wp-last/id ='' (none) /autopilot/route-manager/wp/id = 'KANP' (string) /autopilot/settings/route-manager/wp/id ='KGAI' (string) They seem to be overshadowing each other. Have some of these been

[Flightgear-devel] telnet access to route_mgr

2004-07-07 Thread Wendell Turner
At http://www.halcyon.com/wturner/fgfs/route_mgr.cxx http://www.halcyon.com/wturner/fgfs/route_mgr.hxx are the updates to the route_mgr portion of the autopilot that allow access to the route list from the telnet port. It isn't finished, but it is progress. The route list is apparently

[Flightgear-devel] autopilot and route-manager

2004-05-27 Thread Wendell Turner
Is there an autopilot that still uses the /autopilot/settings/waypoint method of setting waypoints? (i.e., one that can accept modifications to the waypoint list via the telnet interface)? Or has that been replaced with /autopilot/route-manager/wp/id ? If so, how does an external program

[Flightgear-devel] another route-manager question

2004-05-27 Thread Wendell Turner
Ok then, I'll try asking it this way: In auto_gui.cxx, the comment on NewWaypoint says that it is called from the telnet session, but I cannot show that to be the case. Setting the property value from the telnet session causes the value to change, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. Is

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Basic tower model

2004-04-13 Thread Wendell Turner
Does anyone have (or can anyone build) a fairly simple, generic airport control tower model? Robin's latest airport data has some tower position information so I'd like to include these in the next world scenery build. Ok. I've committed one in CVS. It's fairly simple, but it also

[Flightgear-devel] xastir moving map?

2004-04-12 Thread Wendell Turner
I've recently found Xastir (http://www.xastir.org/), a rather nifty mapping package by/for the HAM radio community. It can display shapefile maps, terraserver (satellite photo) maps, tiger maps, and with some recent patches to the code and some map transformations, it can display sectionals

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Visualising forces

2004-03-15 Thread Wendell Turner
Currently I think we're interested in making the viewer and FDM totally independent of each other, so something else that manipulates the property tree values would be the best way to go. Extreme G's, obviously, should slam the head around a bit. Maybe the nasal script could do this:

[Flightgear-devel] coordinate system conversions

2003-07-10 Thread Wendell Turner
How can lat/lon/alt get converted to sgMat4 coordinates? I thought the following portion of code, taken from test-up.cxx, would be close (at least for position, but not for the rotation). double lat = 38.9340; double lon = -77.4576; double alt =0; Point3D pgd( lon *

[Flightgear-devel] external radio stack

2003-07-08 Thread Wendell Turner
Has anyone connected fgfs to an external radio stack such as FlightLink http://www.flightlink.com/hardware/fixedwing/kr1.html or Elite http://www.flyelite.com/avionics.asp or any others? Do any of these radio stacks have open interfaces, or are they all proprietary? Wendell

I want to add targets in a multiplayer fgfs session from data generated by an external system, and would like some guidance on the coordinate system. The data exchanged in the multiplayer frames consist of sgMat4 PlayerPos; which is defined in plib as typedef SGfloat sgMat4 [4][4] ; which

[Flightgear-devel] offset-distance broken?

I use fgfs to practice instrument approaches, starting with the aircraft positioned just outside the IAF. However, in 0.9.2, the --offset-distance doesn't seem to work. In src/Main/fg_init.cxx, near line 1035, just before the call to ok = fgSetPosFromAirportIDandHdg( apt, hdg ); there is
