JSBSim has a scripting capability that is used to execute runs in its standalone mode. I've always intended to make it usable when integrated with a simulation architecture such as FlightGear, as well. Theoretically, it should be possible now. From: Harry Campigli [mailto:harryc...@gmail.com]

[Flightgear-devel] aircraft modeling question

2009-04-14 Thread Curtis Olson
I'm involved in a project where we are developing, refining, and tuning a fairly advanced algorithm that fuses inertial data (gyro & accelerometer) with gps data to produce a pretty accurate attitude and location estimate. (The algorithm will be released as open-source.) One difficult part of this

[Flightgear-devel] ridge lift, need some help

2009-04-14 Thread Patrice Poly
So I have made another version, this one doesn't seem to throw NaNs, at least for me. In the same time, I have prepared environment.cxx, so that we can mix both thermal and ridge lift. This is easy with just adding 2 properties, thermal_lift_fps and ridge_lift_fps, and mixing the 2 ones when as

[Flightgear-devel] bo105: updated texture coordinates and fake GI texture

2009-04-14 Thread Erwin Meyer
Hi all, I edited the Bo105 model and posted my changes on http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/MBB_Bo_105 , but I really don't know whether that is the right place for something like this, so I thought I'd ask here. Also, I think this should be committed (at least the texture coordinate updat

Hi, The wiki is nice, contains a lot of informations, but it is done mostly by users, and yes, the author isn't named there. But the author name is listed in every -set.xml, so this gives you a first hint. Sometimes there is also a Readme in the file, where the full email is stored. For pr
