[Flightgear-devel] Menu update for Time Settings

2007-12-04 Thread Stuart Buchanan
Hi All,

To be consistent with the new Time Settings dialog, the menu item should be 
"Time
Settings" instead of "Time of Day". 

Path included below. Could someone please apply?

Thanks

For the SenecaII: Yes. 
I will work on that issue - hopefully today.

[Flightgear-devel] landing gear control

2007-12-04 Thread
Ok I have another one  
Can we add a /controls/gear/gear-lever-lock to prevent accidental 
raising gear while on the ground , on aircraft that have this feature ?
The key bindings can be over ridden , but there's also joystick configurations 
to consider , so the best place to add this would be the controls.nas routine 
itself...
It could simply be added as a bool in the set file of any aircraft that needs 
it ... 
Cheers

OK. I've always thought it was meant to just recenter everything , if joystick 
wasn't centered at startup ,  ... and Ive developed the habit of hitting the 5 
key before releasing the brakes , just in case :) . The autopilot can really 
mess this up , so I suppose I could just disable that while WoW ...

Most of the time reseting trims is not desirable.  Pressing the 5 key is
sort of almost, but maybe not quite like letting go of the controls, or
maybe moving the controls to their neutral/zero pressure state.

[Flightgear-devel] control trim reset

2007-12-04 Thread
Hi all , 
I've added the elevator, aileron and rudder trim to the control-centering 
function - keypad  ( 5 ).
Should this be added before the release ? Or is there a particular reason that 
the trims aren't reset ? 
It,ll just take a minute to commit if everyone agrees ...

As far as Carrier capable aircraft , I think the  A-6E is another really well

I'd like to see the 737 stay. Also, I believe recent enhancements and fixes
in JSBSim may have fixed the F-16, but I'm not sure.

I agree with the pa24-250 or other complex single, whether it replaces
pa24 (which I also like but I agree c172p should stay in) or another.

How about the B1900 ?  Any issues. It is know as having one of the best 
panels. It would fill the commercial twin prop slot.

[Flightgear-devel] [PATCH] wxradar bug fix and added feature

2007-12-04 Thread Csaba Halász
Hi!

First patch fixes a bug caused by the uninitialized _range_nm member.
If it happens to contain nan, this will never get overwritten.
Second patch adds support for filtering what should be displayed.

Comments welcome.

I would like to see a glider with aero-towing-capability (bocian) in the 
release. Although the J3 has towing capability I would like to see the 
beaver in the release, too, because due to its higher mass it is much 
easier with tho aircraft. (I am not voting against the J3, it is a nice 
taildragger with minimal disk-usage.)

I've been running with this patch for a while now with OSG 2.2. The load
time isn't too excessive. It provides enhanced smoothness, but the stutters
around KSFO are still apparent here. Overall, the advantages outweigh the
small disadvantge of increased laoding time. I certianly won't be reverting
the patch, and look forward to it being in cvs, and osg taking the changes
aboard.

The Seahawk is the most complete carrier-capable ac that we have, so if we
want to include that capability that the one to have. On the Other hand the
Hunter is probably the easiest ac to fly that we have in the inventory.

I'd like to see the Lightning included - it is very complete, it has a nice
tutorial, and demonstrates the aar capability.

Hi,

With my model sufficiently far into development, I'd finally like to ask;
What are the requirements for an acceptable "real UFO"?

[Flightgear-devel] patch to use OpenSceneGraph database pager

2007-12-04 Thread Tim Moore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,
http://www.bricoworks.com/moore/0001-OSG-pager-megapatch.patch is a patch 
against current
flightgear that uses the OSG database pager to load scenery tiles instead of 
the old
tile loader. The main advantage of the database pager is that it schedules 
texture
loading and display list compilation in a way that doesn't hammer the frame 
rate.
Currently we don't do anything at all about compiling OpenGL resources, so you 
can
get terrible stutter the first time you look at parts of a scene. With this 
patch, that's
gone. Also, old tiles are deleted in the database pager thread, eliminating 
another
potential cause of stutter.

This will be checked into CVS soon, but I've been hesitating for three reasons:

* It breaks the GLUT version;

* Some bugs turned up with multiplayer play. I think I've fixed these, but some 
more
testing would be good;

* Without patches to OSG that have been submitted to osg-submissions, startup 
time is
noticeably longer.

Nevertheless, the patch is quite usable with OSG 2.2. Give it a try if you're 
feeling
adventurous.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Custom protocol issues

2007-12-04 Thread AnMaster
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Well my need is this:
I got an advanced joystick (X52 Pro) that got some "programmable" features. For
example:
* Setting colors of LEDs on buttons (red, yellow or green for most). (19 LEDs in
total!)
* Setting text on the display on the throttle. (3 rows x 16 chars)
* Setting brightness of the backlit display and of the LEDs.
* Setting the built in date and time (including 2 alternative "offset timezones"
from main time, I would use UTC as main time, and local where you fly as the
second time)

I wrote a daemon that uses libusb to do this and parse the commands as udp
packages, now I need nasal to send the commands as needed. For example:
* If gear is down, show green on that button, yellow if it gear is moving
up/down and red if it is up.
* Same for flaps and speedbrakes and other buttons.
* Show stuff like current speed, heading and such on the display.
  The data shown on the display would be change depending on what
  mode the joystick is in (a 3-state mode selector on the top of
  joystick), what button below the MFD you clicked, and so on.

Doing this with the current custom protocol support turned out as a bad idea
that either caused stutter or didn't provide enough properties. Sending from
nasal would be the SANE way to solve this for me.

I would suggest Lightning. It is very detailed aircraft and nice looking. It is
also (in my opinion) easier to fly than T38, both with mouse and with joystick.

Is this just the final tarballs for the binary, or are you rolling up the data
tarballs as well?

I'd _really_ like to include a fix for the MP repeated chat, as it is unusable 
in
it's current state and I have some enhancements as well, so a timescale for the
data code-freeze would be good.

I also need to coordinate with Martin Spott generating The Manual for inclusion
in the release. To generate The Manual, I need a version number. To get a 
version
number we need a decison! 

I think all the opinions are in, so I think Curt now needs to collate them and
tell us what the result is. Of course, the opinions have been so varied that he
can pretty much decide what he wants and convince us that the majority agree 
with
him :)

Finally, for those of us who have been developing exclusively on OSG for 
windows,
it would be very useful to have a set of binaries available so we can test our
aircraft on plib before the data tarball is created, and the 175 aircraft are
uploaded to the website.

In general I agree with your suggestions. What about swapping this with 
the "Legendary Russian AN2"? I discovered that aircraft at FSWeekend, and got 
instantly hooked. It seems fairly complete to me and it would be a nice 
aircraft for the "historical" aircraft section.

Alouette  III is now available on cvs, 
That model will need:
   a "good" FDM, the Maik know  how will be very useful :)

Hi,

just to throw out a few more thoughts on that. I stumbled upon roughly
the same set of needs a couple of months ago. I was hacking on some
external fmc sort of thing, which needed to get the basic flight
parameters (such as position, orientation, speeds, eventually engine
settings, you get the picture). The generic protocol lended itself
quite readily to such task.

Problems arose when I wanted to send the needed information for a
tcas/radar-like display, which would need (preferrably configurable)
the pertinent data for all mp/ai aircraft (or perhaps even carriers or
other objects). I did a even more hackish workaround using nasal,
writing to a local file, but clearly missed a feature to do some basic
networking with nasal too.

For preliminary inspection on how to possibly improve the protocol/io
stuff I also looked at the opengc protocol. There I found some changes
needed to get it into working order, and how easy it would be with some
small changes to not rely on that hard-coded module.

Around that time I got distracted by the internal ATC/radar stuff (and
real life too). But up to that time I thought a rewrite of the Protocol
code along the following lines desireable:

- generic enough to substitute the "easier" ones (opengc, nmea,
lfsglass, atlas, perhaps others too..) with fitting xmlconfigs

- a possibility in the defining xml to specify a "class" of nodes from
the property tree to be trasmitted
(e.g. /ai/models/aircraft*/callsign). Perhaps even recursive?

- make the actual sending conditional/changeable at runtime (sounds
like getting to nasal style of doing things)

- eventually incorporating some changes suggested here a couple of
weeks ago regarding binary input

While I think the needed changes are to massive to do before the
release, I might give it a try afterwards and would like to solicit
some opinions or comments as to avoid marching off into a completely
unwanted direction. (and I'm constantly fearing the ever creative nasal
gurus coming up with a "Oh sure, look here, we've done a couple of
functions, it can now also do this and control your refrigerator as a
bonus" *g*)

Ditch this - I don't think we have any UIUC aircraft in common use (though
the Wright Flyer might be)

> data/Aircraft/c172p \

c172p should be included as it is mentioned extensively in the docs and
has basic tutorials.

> data/Aircraft/c310 \
> data/Aircraft/c310u3a \

Much as I like the c310 - it's now very primitive compared with recent
aircraft. Replace with the Seneca II.

Include as a nice easy taildragger.

I'd suggest replacing this with a complex single, say the pa24-250. Then
we have a nice progression from training to complex twin.

Does anyone actually use this?

I'm sure that there are better jets, but I'm not familiar with them in
enough detail to suggest a replacement.

As Melchior says - ditch as no-one uses it.

I'd also suggest that we include a carrier-capable jet as well - seahawk?

I hope Jon Berndt will submit patches to the fgfs JSBSim code that
1.  Turns off JSBSim modeling of turbulence that plays havoc with the 
default c172p, and
2.  Removes the redundant "sense" from FGPropellers.cpp.
Jon, you indicated #2 should be done.  how hard is porting #1 from 
JSBSim cvs?

IMHO we should not include the two c310 and replace them with
1.  SenecaII (great twin with lots of documentation)
2.  de Havilland Beaver - Floats (shows the on-water progress this 
release and a great bush AC)
This exchange leaves a modern light twin and adds the on-water and bush 
categories to fgfs.

I take that back. It has tutorials, and is often used as an
example in the manual, with screenshots, etc.

A second helicopter would be nice, but most have severe
rendering problems, as they were done for fg/osg and not
adapted for fg/plib.

The V22-Osprey would probably be a good idea (instead of the
Wright Flyer). It works with fg/plib, has a very nice folding
animation and sounds, and is a very known and remarkable aircraft.

There's no carrier capable aircraft (other than the bo105 and
the j3cub ;-), so we might want to swap the hunter for the
seahawk.

Hi,

sounds great!

There is still one suggest by me for the
win32-version:
 
adding the sim-frame-throttle-thingy (that one for
preventing too high fps) in preference.xml or other
easy way. I see some problems with people with very
good (up-todate) computers.
That's something I miss on the win32 version!

[Flightgear-devel] Feature request: UDP from nasal

2007-12-04 Thread AnMaster
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

As I mentioned before on this list ([Flightgear-devel] Custom protocol issues),
I requested support for UDP from nasal, however I got no response at all, so now
I raise the issue again, basically I need to send messages to a daemon from
nasal, custom protocols does not fit this:
 * I need to send at changing rate, from 50 or so / second to just one / 10 
seconds.
 * The protocol is message based, I send instructions, I don't dump data.
 * I tried using custom protocols but when I sent enough properties to be able
to send all needed commands as fast as needed I got horrible stutter.
 * Sending less I can't always send all I need.

So I request support for sending UDP data from nasal code. This would be under
controlled circumstances to prevent security issues: For example a command line
switch saying what target port and ip nasal could use.

To follow up on this: It seems like the initial testing round went pretty 
well, with mostly minor problems being reported, and many of them being fixed 
already. I'm hoping to roll up the tar files for the release itself this 
weekend. I'm not sure whether we'll be able to transfer those to the main 
webserver instantly, as there were some problems recently. If not, I hope 
that John Wojnaroski can again provide some server space.  In the mean time, 
I guess we need to make a final decision on the version number...

Another question: we always have a limited number of aircraft that are in the 
distribution, with the rest being available as separate downloads. We like to 
keep the number of aircraft constant, and representative of the many types of 
aircraft supported by FlightGear. Is there any pressing reason to swap one 
aircraft for another one? IIRC, there have been some suggestions of replacing 
the 737 by the 787. FWIW, we currently have the following selection of

Dave,

That is correct. This was fixed in JSBSim CVS some time ago. It would
probably be a good thing for this one to get into FlightGear right away.
I'm not sure how extensively the JSBSim CVS version and the FlightGear
version of FGPropeller differ right now, but I suspect that's the only
difference. If someone with CVS access would take care of that it would
be appreciated.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] dual head problem

2007-12-04 Thread John Wojnaroski
Hi,

OK,  I've just starting working with OSG and multiple cameras so may not 
have all the details.

OSG only requires a single instance of FG to use multiple cameras.  
You'll need to set up your xorg.conf file to run your graphics boards 
under a single X server and there are some lines you'll need in the 
preferences.xml file to configure the cameras, FOVs, and displays.

If you understand what I've just said and have done this, then that 
pretty much exhausts my current understanding of OSG and multiple 
cameras.  If OTOH, you're not clear on how to do this, I can provide a 
copy of the files that others have been kind enough to provide and I've 
edited for my setup.

I'm not at my machine with those files, but will send them later today 
via private mail, if you like.  These files set up X windows and 
configure FG-OSG to produce three views (left, center, right).  You'll 
need pretty hefty graphics cards to get a decent frame rate.

Did you get display errors in MP? The bf19 display should be handled by
the AI model in AI/Aircraft/bf109/Models/ 
You can notice the difference by the Fuselage nunber. The AI Model has
none, the regular model is white 13. 
If you get the regular model (this should not happen), I would like to
find out what went wrong.

One more interesting result.  Since I beleive that the AP is chasing 
even very small turbulence and the aileron inputs are causing the 
adverse yaw out of phase with the turbulence, I tried using 
"auto-coordination" with 0.05 turbulence value.  The AP flew the 
SenecaII right down the LOC/GS.  There was continuous control movements 
and the ball was biased off to one side (see the note on the double 
sense - I had not yet recompiled with the 2nd sense removed).  The point 
here is that with the rudder outputs from the auto-coordination to 
correct the adverse yaw, the out of phase yaw oscillations were gone.

Conclusions:
1.  We know that Jon is going to rework the JSBSim turbulence which 
should help a lot.
2.  Even after that, the adverse-aileron yaw needs to be toned down a 
lot in JSBSim models to achieve more realistic response in low power 
cruse such as one has when flying an instrument approach.

For the upcoming release, can we modify the JSBSim in fgfs to turn off 
turbulence modeling?

For the upcoming release, should we select a scaling factor for the 
adverse-aileron yaw in the c172p and SenecaII that result in the 
performance more similar to the pa28-161 and pa24-250 respectively?

[Flightgear-devel] rotation sense error remains in JSBSim FGPropeller.cpp

2007-12-04 Thread dave perry
While looking into the AP oscillation about the ILS near the runway for 
the SenecaII, I noticed that the sense is still accounted for twice (see 
Re: [Flightgear-devel] Bug in JSBSim FGPropeller.cpp, 08/07/2007) in 
FGPropeller.cpp.

Jon, shouldn't this be fixed before the next release of FlightGear.

Thats true. But right now I am working on cockpit view, the others will follow 
or maybe the build in precipitation effect can be used here.

Thank you very much for your assistance.  You are right about the property 
paths.  However, if you look in CVS, you will find that 787/787-8-set.xml has 
been replaced by 787/787-8ANA-set.xml, 787/787-8CO-set.xml, and 
787/787-8FC-set.xml.  These files do not make reference to 787/Models/787.xml, 
but they point to files that replaced it.  In those files, the issue in 
question has already been resolved.  If someone would remove 787/Models/787.xml 
from CVS, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,

can you update the ec135 too? I know, you have changed
it on your local system, but I haven't the time now to
fix it myself. It seems to me, that there are coming
some changes to my life in the coming weeks, so I wil
have not much time so I can't do it on my own. It
would be very nice!

Thanks a lot!

[Flightgear-devel] Nasal var issue patch for data/Nasal

2007-12-04 Thread AnMaster
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

I made a patch that add some missing "var" to the data/Nasal/*.nas files. It
also changes props.wrap to use named arguments and remove a duplicate of
math.asin in lead_target.nas, making it use the math.asin one instead. (As far
as I could find, nothing outside the file itself used it, if I'm wrong about
that: sorry).

I also changed everything in data/Nasal to use math.abs instead of globals.abs,
however a lot remains that uses globals.abs in aircrafts and other places (see
my earlier mail to the list)

As I'm rather new to nasal could someone please have a look at my patch to see
that it is ok?

Do you mean that rain and snow would not work in external view, or co-pilot view
and so on? Rain and snow should work in all views in my opinion.

[Flightgear-devel] rain view

2007-12-04 Thread Markus Zojer
Hallo all!

I have created some sample rain/snow usable with flightgear osg, 
viewable only from cockpit view.
Currently it is linked with the B-1B, but I would like to bind it to 
view 0, in order to be usable with any aircraft.
Here I ran into some problem: Models are added at model.ac datum while I 
wanted to add them at virtual aircraft datum, at view 0 (like the hud) 
actually. As the datums differ, I could not use the view 0 offset, which 
was the only distance reference I could find in the property tree.
Now my question: How can that be done and/or is there a similar nasal 
code to the geo.put_model that adds models to an existing one.

For the curious(howto included):
http://homepage.univie.ac.at/markus.zojer/fgfs/Models.tar.gz

Thanks,
Markus

[Flightgear-devel] Duplicate nasal functions

2007-12-04 Thread AnMaster
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

The abs function exists in both globals.nas and math.nas, in my opinion one
should be removed once all references are changed to use the other.

I suggest the abs function from globals.nas to be removed and the one in
math.nas to be kept. I'm willing to make patches against other files using these
functions.

And comments/suggestions?

Regards,

Arvid Norlander
