Re: [Flightgear-devel] fgdata merge request 91:Animated Jetways
Hi All, After having discussed this issue with Martin privately, we have come to the conclusion that it is in the best interest of FlightGear to back out parts of this commit, and wait for an improved version. I had accepted the merge request, after I had concluded that Martin's original objections had been resolved, but that appears not to be the case. I want to stress that we do see merit to the current patch, but note that there currently are still technical issues that need to be addressed before it is ready. To be more specific, the parts that I will remove are the Models/Jetways directory as well as the nasal files related to this system. I'm happy to accept a merge request where the issues addressed by Martin have been addressed.

My terrain engine is not ready and this project stalled another time because of lack of time on a long period. The code has nothing to do with FG except it uses few classes from SimGear, and the graphic engine is OSG. The file format is totally different and includes a precomputed LOD scheme (ROAM 2 for who's interested). It is pictured in this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WYH27KyUBk I let you juge if it could work for space flight. The data used in the most recent videos are from the Custom Scenery project and the elevations are from SRTM. So it is real world data with the potential to add some procedurally generated small details to enhance detail levels at close distance. There is nothing that could prevent to release it under the GPL, but in the light of recent events (read FPS) I am not fond of releasing something that couldn't be used directly, but just stolen very easily. I am ok to think about some restricted access to the sources to known (core) developpers that are willing to contribute to make it usable and then included to the core if it pass the smell test. Main current issues are : 1. realtime engine needs to be re-done using latest OSG DB features 2. atmospheric model (Bruneton's) produce artefacts for spheroidal earth 3. artefacts in shapefile clipping (something to do with the cylindrical nature of longitudes) 0) Does it meet the technical requirements for being used in FlightGear ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Terrain engine
I'll let you elaborate on this topic before I could answer. Frederic, thank You for answer. It seems what it's become more or less clear now. I think it's reasonable to test osgEarth at least to compare speed, exactness, and including possibilities then. If Your engine is completely different osg based product than FG then difference between it and osgEarth engine, which other completely different osg based product, including is mostly virtual. My opinion what's better to use things by near side, but only in case it's better or equal to things on far. If it's hard to use then it seems better to choose what's faster and easier in including. As I heard, osgEarth already works as engine in some sim products. Do not know if it have ROAM possibilities or some problems though. It would be nice if some core level developer could look deeper into it. Dunno if I could tell competent even if I would have time to test it myself.

[Flightgear-devel] Nasal submodules / local weather
Hi Thorsten ( all),
some time ago I had added an option to introduce Nasal submodules, or,
to be more exact, to introduce Nasal modules using fgdata/Nasal/...
subdirectories and add an option to load such modules on demand only
(using a single enable/disable property per module).
This has several advantages:
* Nasal files can be grouped neatly instead of all scripts being mixed
up in a single fgdata/Nasal directory. Grouping makes a lot of sense for
modules consisting of several scripts - local weather is the best
example.
* Guaranteed loading sequence. Submodules are loaded _after_ the main
fgdata/Nasal scripts, so they can rely on all fgdata/Nasal content to be
already present. No more need for awkward listener callbacks, just to
make sure that basic props or gui modules are available.
* Finally, users have the option to disable loading modules.
Unfortunately, just loading scripts (code/data) into memory already
causes certain _run-time_ performance effects - even if the Nasal code
was never executed (so even when all listeners/timers were disabled).
Admittedly, I'm concerned that the rising number of complex Nasal
modules degrades the simulation performance for everyone. Having an
option to disable modules completely seems a good idea, so everyone can
choose for himself. And when something is not even loaded, it's
naturally guaranteed that it cannot have any performance effects at all.
I'd like to use the local weather module as a good example here. I'm
planning to do the same with a few other modules (tutorial.nas,
jetways*.nas, maybe multiplayer, and the new Nasal Boeing CDU).
I've done some tests with a local weather submodule and it seems fine.
Few modifications are required - mainly affects the init handlers (need
to listen to a different signal) and some GUI aspects (add an option to
enable/load the Nasal module, enable/disable menu items). I've attached
the changes. Before applying the patch, move the existing weather
scripts into a new subdirectory Nasal/local_weather:
# create new subdirectory local_weather
mkdir fgdata/Nasal/local_weather
# move existing files to new directory
mv fgdata/Nasal/compat_layer.nas fgdata/Nasal/local_weather/.
mv fgdata/Nasal/weather_dynamics.nas fgdata/Nasal/local_weather/.
mv fgdata/Nasal/weather_tiles.nas fgdata/Nasal/local_weather/.
mv fgdata/Nasal/local_weather.nas fgdata/Nasal/local_weather/.
mv fgdata/Nasal/weather_tile_management.nas fgdata/Nasal/local_weather/.
# apply patch (attached)
cd fgdata patch -p1 local_weather.patch
I'd like to push the change to fgdata before the release. Please test if
you're happy with these changes - or let me know if you saw issues.
cheers,
Thorsten

Not that I know of, but I was always under the impression that /sim/rendering was honored once at startup only. Erik -- Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.

[Flightgear-devel] fgfs log files with qt process
Hi all I am trying to to write fgfs stderr output to a file. This is no problem when I use redirection like logifle.log in a shell of course, but - unfortunately - this can not be passed as argument with qt by startDetached process, which I use with fgx launcher and which is static. I am not able to add such a option to fgfs. Is there someone who can help me and add such log/debug file output option to fgfs?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] gnome 3 ?
This weekend I took the plunge and upgraded my main desktop machine to Fedora 15 + Gnome 3. Out of the gate I hit some serious culture shock, but I'm starting to get the hang of the new gnome interface and it's growing on me quickly. There are many good reviews posted online explaining the new gnome 3 interface, but I figured I'd post my own thoughts too: http://gallinazo.flightgear.org/technology/fedora-15-and-gnome-3/ FlightGear seems to compile and run pretty much exactly as before with Fedora 14, so no complaints there. So far so good ... ! Curt. On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 3:24 AM, Chris Baines wrote: I use Gnome 3 and FlightGear and it works well. I do like the Shell, and after a while it does grow on you. The main problem I think is that people logically think that as Gnome 3 is released the Shell is completed, where that is far from the truth, much of the work is still to be done. As you point out its hard to configure and might not be as intuitive as it could be but it looks like an alright base to work from.

Quote from an online review: gnome 3 gives you any color theme you like ... if you like black. s/linux desktop/Gnome/ There's still KDE and all the lighter desktops available which do not force anything on you. And according to a phoronix comparison, the KDE window manager seems most of the time to be the one affecting performance the least. And if that's still too much, deactivating desktop effects is just a shortcut away. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=articleitem=linux_desktop_managers1num=1 Stefan -- Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
