Re: [Flightgear-devel] turbine inlet temperature in the seneca (TIT)

Ok, I made a pretty gross hack for now, and used EGT but made the gauge show 100°F higher :-P On the other hand, since I am making a custom panel for the senecaII anyway, I could just make the gauges EGT for now, as they serve more or less the same purpose in engine management anyway. Torsten, yo

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Snow line based on METAR

2011-12-08 Thread Tuomas Kuosmanen

Another small question might be for ourairports names like this one: " Mario's Flying Pizza Airport " (sic!) should this become ... a) Marios Flying Pizza Airport b) Mario s Flying Pizza Airport c) Mario Flying Pizza Airport (This is serious, this is "2TA4" and it is in FlightGears apt.dat.) O

Hi all I am recently trying to update apt.dat airport names (in all flightgear relevant data versions, means original xplane 8.10/8.50 and flightgear apt.dat). I noticed caps in names, i.e. I am changing this names to upper/lower case, and I wrote a small python script to update the names from
