2010-10-10 Thread Tobias Ramforth
Hello everyone, I am - currently only for my own enjoyment - working on new more authentic/detailed textures for the Concorde. The Concorde is my favorite aircraft in flightgear and so I thought "Why not start contributing to the realism of this model?" I already made some progress on the BA l

[Flightgear-devel] Automatic runway selection broken by weather interpolation

2010-10-10 Thread Stuart Buchanan
Hi Guys, I think I've found a bug in the new weather environment code. I started up at Austin Bergstrom International (KAUS), a fairly large Texas airport with runways 17L/R, 35L/R. The METAR had wind of 9 knots at 190 degrees. I would expect FG to start on runway 17. Instead it starts on 35L.

Hi All, I've been working on a small patch to change the existing global Nasal function airportinfo() to return more than one result. With this patch, and optional argument allows the caller to specify the number of nearest airports to return. E.g. airportinfo(10), returns the nearest 10 airports
