I had already shown by some pretty simple math that at 2850
rmp the tips of
a 1.65m radius propeller would be supersonic and therefore highly
improbable, but we now know that the data of hp, gear ratio,
rpm etc all tie
together.
Thanks

That probably was for the Harvard.

I don't know about the Spitfire, but I understand that's the case with many
floatplanes -- you

I agree, but we have more time. Even though it sounded good, the reservation

Is there someone who can tell me about local coordinates and global coordinates.
What is the difference?
Moreover, where is exactly the point in which the collision with the ground
is treated?

Local coordinates are in the aircraft frame (note that this isn't
the same convention that other FDMs use for their airframe
coordinates). Global coordinates are in the

I'm sure all the details are still in the archives. Essentially, SF is
great in that it provides a wonderful service to open source projects
who have no resources.

Is there are reason we aren't calling jsInit() to initialize the plib
joystick routines? Is there any reason why we shouldn't?
I'm about to commit a set of patches to add this if no one complains.
Thanks,

I started chasing down a font rendering issue in FlightGear on Sunday.
The original issue was a metrics bug in the afm2txf.pl font generator,
a script I wrote for plib a while back. But fixing that didn't quite
solve all the problems, so I spent some time hunting around in the PUI

Hi,
Last week (maybe two) i was able to create a path for the plane to fly
using the following code:
void AgentUAV::processWaypointsTable( string flightPathTable )
{
double lon, lat;
string query = select NumPoints(the_geom) from +
flightPathTable + where
To test if a problem resides with the cesna autopilot i tested
using Add Waypoint and instead of the autopilot guiding the plane to the
waypoint it just flys in cirlces until it spirals into the ground.
This autopilot with the cesna did work correctly that last time I tried
it a couple of
