Here's a poor-man's aircraft selector. It's a bash script that calls fgfs with a string of command line parameters. I have three scripts I'm using now, called 737, t38 and ov10. To fly the t38 I type t38 at the shell prompt:
#!/bin/bash cmdline=" --fg-root=/usr/local/FlightGear --aircraft=T38 --airport-id=KSFO --geometry=1024x768 --prop:/consumables/fuel/tank[0]/level-gal_us=290 --prop:/consumables/fuel/tank[1]/level-gal_us=290 --prop:/engines/engine[0]/running=true --prop:/engines/engine[1]/running=true --prop:/radios/marker-beacon/audio-btn[0]=false --prop:/radios/nav/frequencies/selected-mhz[0]=111.7 --prop:/radios/nav/radials/selected-deg[0]=283.0 --prop:/radios/nav[1]/frequencies/selected-mhz[0]=115.8 --prop:/radios/dme/switch-position=1 --visibility-miles=4.0 --enable-sound --disable-clouds --disable-hud --start-date-gmt=2003:01:20:16:00:00 " fgfs $cmdline exit 0 I assume all the values defined by preferences.xml are also definable by command line parameters of the --prop: variety? I'll experiment with it. Dave Culp _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
