If your name is on this list and it shouldn't be, or I have the level of 
definiteness wrong, please let me know.  But I think with 2 definites, 1

probably, and a need to get permission first, plus another maybe, we 
probably have enough to go ahead and reserve a booth.  Sound reasonable?

Sounds very reasonable - I suggest you go ahead and reserve it.

Cheers - Dave

 a possible speaker slot at the Linux User  Developer Expo 2004.

If any of the booth people are willing to stand in front of a lot of
people,
I really recommend trying for a slot. 

I'm happy to talk if we do get a slot.

Would it be advantageous -- not only now, but for the future -- for 
major subsystem leads to write up a short monologue? For instance, 
if there was a concise writeup for each FDM, for visuals, for weather, 
etc., that might make for a better presentation and would be easier on 
the presenter, no?

I will attend if in the country (I live in Bristol).
I will be interesting to meet you guys.

It would be great if we could meet up again.

I think I will be at the european flightsim show again, but do not
know yet when it will be. AFAIK, it is the biggest flight sim trade
show in the world. Last year, it was in Birmingham on the 5th of
October :-).

Bye bye,
Wolfram.

 Any additional volunteers are also welcome.  The more the merrier and the
 core staff always appreciates a bathroom break, or a chance to go look
 around the show themselves.  If it gets too crowded in the booth, you can
 just stand outside and pretend to look interested and ask questions.  Then
 everyone else will come over to see what's so interesting about our booth
 that it has a continual crowd.  Also note that this is a 2-day event so
 it's not quite as big a commitment as LWCE which can push four days.

I'm up for helping any way I can - transport kit?... lend my FG setup?...  
I've done a stand at the Farnborough Air Show once, but I know less about FG 
development than I think I need to in order to answer questions on the booth.  
Let me know what you want.  In any event, as Martin said, it would be good to 
meet some people.


 Thanks!

 Curt.

[Flightgear-devel] Blender news ...

2004-01-15 Thread Melchior FRANZ
FYI: Since yesterday Blender does integrate external Python scripts
into its menu. You just have to point a path at your script dir.
There's a new version of the ac3d{im,ex}porter that makes use of
this new infrastructure and has a few other improvements. The
importer does now appear in Blender's Import menu as AC3D ...,
it does no longer show the model rotated by 90 degree. The exporter
is in the Export menu and displays a sub-menu where you can
choose if you want to export the whole model, or just the selected
object. CVS from today (2.31a++) seems to be useable, for those
who want to try it. It's a vast improvement, IMO!

- F-16 Model:
  Back in november there was some discussion about an F-16 Model for

  stumbled across 2 interesting documents: 1.) the much cited 1979 
F16 report
  TP-1538 (used by Stevens/Lewis) is available on the web (= 31 MB 
!!). The report
  includes the full data table, and analysis of simulator flight and 
control laws
  for pitch, roll and yaw axis. However, be warned that these control 
laws might
  not really be related to the real control laws used on the 
production aircraft.
One of the interesting things of the F-16 is that it rolls around it's 
velocity vector rather than the body axis to prevent high AOA to go into 
a large sideslip.

This should be a challenge to model ...


I just did a test. It already does that!
It seems like at least a portion of the FCS is incorporated into the 
flight data!

2004-01-15 Thread Matthew Law
Hi Curt,

I can be there for one of the days, possibly two if the accomodation isn't 
too expensive.  I can also bring my PC (17 TFT; Gentoo; Athlon 2500XP; 
FGFS CVS and GeForce Ti4200-128 with pedals and joystick), but I'd need 
help getting it and me there - I don't want to risk public transport.

Alternatively, if anyone is attending who lives reasonably near to 
Sheffield and wishes to car share I'd be happy to take a car and drive 
down with them to cut costs.

All the best,

Matthew.

Now that's useful!
I use a lot of jigs when modeling aircraft and it's a pain having to remove 
all of them everytime I want to export and check it out in FlightGear.

I'll be travelling from Wakefield on the train. Hoping to be down there
for both days.

It's strange everyone is seeing a flash to black.  I'm seeing a flash to

of KSFO at noon with no heading change.  It would flash once at ~1230
feet, again at ~1330 feet, and maybe once or twice more right around
that altitude.  I was logging all sky,fog,etc.. colors, sun angle, etc..
on the flightgear side and during the flash there were no noticable
variances.  I then went to the simgear side commented out dome-repaint
and was not able to reproduce the error.  Interesting default sky colors
though : .  I then uncommented dome-repaint and uncommented most of
the printfs in dome.cxx(which causes 30M log files for a  short flight)
and wasn't able to reproduce the flashes at all( ~2 hours of flying )
before bed.  Strange.  Will look into it further with gdb tonight.
Yep I see it also, except 10 times higher (12300 and 13300 feet).
Could you try setting the altitude of the unused (clear) cloud layers to 
-1000 and check again?

Copied over to devel. 

Ok,  I *think* the problem is that acos(i) and -acos(i) are returning 'nan' 
when i=1 in Time/sunpos.cxx line ~345.  I'm not sure why or if that's 
exactly it, but I think it's close. I'll keep working on it after I fly for 
while : .
