I downloaded the CVS last week .. tues or wed .. and installed it.
The frame rate went to.. very bad. basically made flightgear unflyable..
It also made regular flightgear unflyable .. the screen jumping every 1 or 2
seconds.. and also other 3d

down to 20hz means it could be consuming on the order of 30
milleseconds per call. Simply calling it once every 2 seconds will
impose a 30ms hitch in the frame rate every 2 seconds

Could the ATC manager be implemented as a low-priority thread which is
woken up every so often (few seconds) to update the list of distances to

OK, the line of code causing the frame rate hit was the following:
if((fabs(xyp.y() - xyc.y()) ((runway.length/2.0) + 5.0))
(fabs(xyp.x() - xyc.x()) (runway.width/2.0))) {
return(true);

return false;
To simplify things, I broke it down into a few more lines:

Replacing the offending line:
return((ldiff rlen) (wdiff rwidth));
with the somewhat more verbose
if(ldiff rlen) {
return(wdiff rwidth);
} else {
return(false);
}
cures it completely! Am I doing something really daft

I'm doing something daft - forget this post - the above both drop the

And here's the root cause - I was reading in the almost-one-megabyte
I've knocked up an ATC/AI enable/disable dialog using checkboxes, but if one of the
subsystems starts disabled and is then enabled there is the possibility of update
being called without a previous call to init. I can avoid this by setting an
init-done-ok boolean flag in init and checking for

I think the magnetos have been in position 2 for a while. This

Ditto, I've thoroughly enjoyed the posted desciptions of both David's and
