[Flightgear-devel] Using FG for class presentation

2006-11-23 Thread Ampere K. Hardraade
My group and I are going to have a presentation on the Concorde's crash (Air France Flight 4590) next week in our Engineering Ethic class, and I am thinking whether I should include FG to spice up our presentation... My idea is to show the event of the crash within FlightGear, and if possible,

What is the difference if I implement a structure given in net_fdm_mini.cxx source code and send this struct as a UDP packet for interfacing with Flightgear?or is it necessary to use complete structure given in net_fdm.cxx? I have taken a look at native_fdm.cxx file also and found that we

Hi I am currently working on some documentation for the SenecaII aircraft to make it usable for those who have no idea why this beast is not doing what they want. First, there is a little reference for the instruments and controls: http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=Sen

[Flightgear-devel] gear compression animation

2006-11-23 Thread Dave Perry
Roberto Inzenillo asked if anyone was working on improvements to the compression animation. That prompted me to try an improve the pa24-25 model. It seems to me that in the far past , one of the AC had a fully working gear compression, including the sczors that keep the fork from just rotating.

Today I tried the free Google Earth client "gaia" for the first time (http://gaia.serezhkin.com/) and connected it to FlightGear: $ mkfifo /tmp/gaia $ fgfs --garmin=file,out,0.1,/tmp/gaia --aircraft=ufo & $ gaia --gps=nmea:///tmp/gaia This makes a nice "moving" map. OK, it's not moving yet,

For some reason, the --enable-freeze option doesnt seem to work, which is why I simply press "p" while Flight
