Mike,
Have a look at docs-mini/README.IO for the specific command line syntax,
but yes, for task #1 you can setup FG to expect control inputs to come
in via an FGNetCtrls packet (which you can send from your remote java
application.) You can specify the rate at which FG checks for incoming
Hey gang,
I'm trying to write some Java code to interface with FlightGear's IO system
via sockets. I'm running on Windows (don't know if that matters or not.)
Anyhow, I need to do two things:
1) Have one socket sending flight commands (like changing the rudder
position, or turning on/off the
Hi Mike,
there's an example in the scripts folder (or utils folder) of the
sourcecode (I think) on how to interface in Java. I haven't used it yet
due to lack of time :(.

Hi,
I've done some work on the particle system using the primitives of PLIB. I've also
got some screenshots about my work and Vivian had put them on the web (thank
you again). They are here:

Hi,
I've added the particle system to FlightGear. Unfortunatly, when the object it's
created it
requires a vector that defines the cartesian coords into the world. I've watched into

I want to get a good idea of what the appropriate way to make scenery objects is
from the perspective of detail vs performance and general usability. If anyone
can answer any of these questions or provide learned opinions, please do:

The Merlin is a rotary engine, isn't it?
A rotary engine ? As in http://travel.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm ?
Most people probably will agree that it's a V-12 piston engine ;-)
Details about the engine oil pressure might be documented in some sort of
engine manual:

He meant radial, of course, which was true of most WWII era aircraft
engines other than the Merlin.

Hi everyone,
I'm creating the 3d instruments for the mb339 using JSBSim
and YASimas as flight dynamics models.
The questions are:
about YASim: in which units is measured the oil pressure?
In JSBSim the value is holded by oil-pressure-psi and it's
measured in psi; in YASim is holded by epr but
