[Flightgear-devel] c172-610x

2004-01-06 Thread Gerhard Wesp
Hi,

I just wanted to try out the c172-610x with the HighRes-Panel, but
somehow it doesn't work for me:  The FG window appears, some messages
(pasted below) also, and then all of a sudden without apparent cause FG
stops (at ``JSBSim startup beginning''):

Gerhard,

Try this:

fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x-jsbsim

Intentionally, the c172-610x doesn't have an internal fdm definition
so it only works if the fdm information is coming from some external
source.  To say it another way, the c172-610x *allows* you to specify
an external fdm source which is very important for one project I'm
involved in.

However, I can see the confustion this arrangement might cause, so I
have shuffled the naming around just a bit.  So now you can run:

fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x
fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x-jsbsim

And the original c172-610x is renamed to:

fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x-null

In this last one, I've explicitely requested the null fdm so it won't
die on startup.  It will come up and do nothing until you start
feeding it data externally.

Regards,

Curt.

 fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x-jsbsim

Already tried this on the Windows version, didn't work too.  I've now
just installed the Linux Debian packages (0.9.3) by Ove Kaaven.  On this
platform, I get:

Re: [Flightgear-devel] c172-610x

2004-01-06 Thread Gerhard Wesp
 And the original c172-610x is renamed to:
 
 fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x-null
 

Which gave me the idea of trying

fgfs --aircraft=c172-610x --fdm=null

and this works!  Looks great!  But it's upside down!!  How can I change
this?  

Also, would it be possible to give a FDM explicitly on the command line for
--aircraft=c172-610x?

Strange, it works for me here.

Strange, I'm not sure what to say, other than it is working for me
here under Debian rmsgnu/rms linux.

 Note that c172-610x-jsbsim doesn't exist in --show_aircraft!

It is showing up for me here.  Maybe somehow it didn't get included in
the official release ??

I believe those were added (and modified) after the 0.9.3 release 
because of a similar report.
