The version of FlightGear used for the MIADC show in May contains a fan/turbine model based on physics and thermo equations, a different approach to tank/engine selection to handle the 747 fuel system, changes in the control packet, and an update to the data packets. It might not be

Out of interest, did Mathias ever manage to fix the gear jitter at stationary with his fancy integration scheme, and if so will it be going into FlightGear when you merge up next? Cheers - Dave No. (I hope this doesn't open up a can of worms ...) Though it is acknowledged that Mathias' fix

I noticed recently that electrical outputs still show a voltage (frozen) when a switch is shut off.Is there a reason for this ... or is it a work in progress? The reason I ask is that I want to animate lights by the voltage rather than switch position ... (dimming lights as the battery voltage

[Flightgear-devel] c172: realism of radio transmission vs ambient noise volume

2005-10-08 Thread Vassilii Khachaturov
Sorry I haven't gotten to mention this before, since this is smth that I kept noticing for months already. In the c172 aircraft, the ambient noise in the cockpit is pretty similar to what one hears w/o any headset. When one turns the radio on and tries to hear the ATIS, it sounds pretty low
