[Flightgear-devel] FMS development ?
I've seen a request on JSBSim development list for performance prediction capability. I was wondering if somebody has started a project to develop a Flight Management System for flight gear Actually I am getting an Airbus A340 ready and that would be of important use http://sfp1.site.voila.fr/flightgear/340_500.png Actually more modern airliners are handled through this piece of equipment than anything else. If something is underway it could be nice to separate the core computational part (flight plan, performance ...) from the cockpit interfaces since this is really the main difference between manufacturers. If not that could be something to start thinking about (see PMDG products and their great FMS) - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] Su-26 and new 2D panel code
I have read with some interest the post regarding the new 2D panel code (clipping within a layer) because I am running into the following problem with the 2D aerobatic panel of the Su-26 : http://sfp1.site.voila.fr/images/2Dpit.png This screenshot has been taken with the latest release (not the CVS source code). I would like to know if it is resonnable to develop new aircraft with this modification or if it's better to wait for the next release ? Thanks for the advice Enrique - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] putting code
Hi, I am beginning to look at the code, initially tracking down memory errors reported by valgrind, eventually with a goal of getting it to run on my system. I have one fix so far. What is the procedure for putting or submitting changes? Are there any guidelines for frequency? What are the compatibility standards? I am using Fedora Core 5 fairly updated. Thanks. Cheers Lou BTW, I did look for this info in the FAQ but came up empty. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] how to see error messages on windows
Hi, on windows flightgear open a extra console window for the text output. When flightgear ends this window is closed regardless if there is any info the user might want to read (e. g. error messages of the xml parser). On windows you can not write thies messages to a file by fgfs some_parametersfile the messages are not written to file, because they are not written to standard output but to the extra window. (the extra window is necessary, because you can do not need to start it from a console window. I googled, if it is possible to detect, if flightgear is started by a console and use than this for the output, but it seems, that this is not possible ?!? Therefore I added #ifdef _MSC_VER cerr Hit a key to continue... endl; cin.get(); #endif to function void fgExitCleanup() but now it waits on every exit of flightgear. How can I detect, if a problem occurred? (can I query the exitcode ?) Maik - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Maik I think your answer (including an example) might be here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;190351 It's an article that details launching a program as a child with its standard IO handles redirected to the parent. In your case, I believe you could implement it by creating an FGFS launcher that can do whatever you can imagine (like write to a file) everything that FGFS sends to stdout. I haven't tried it yet, so I hope I'm not leading you astray. -- Reagan Thomas - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] how to see error messages on windows
Hello Fred, Hello Reagan, thank you very much for your prompt help. @Reagan Maybe the broken pipe is due to the console window generated by flightgear? Maybe flightgear really closes your pipe!

[Flightgear-devel] Update of as350, bell206 and ch47
Hi, I have updated the three old helis as350 (Ecureuil/A-Star), bell206 (Jet Ranger) and ch47 (Chinook). All three are using the 3D model of the bo and most parameters are not realistic. But they have the main parameters of the rotors. Therefore the as350 reacts much more delayed than the bo and the bell206 reacts much more delayed than the as350. Compared with the bo it's a total different flying. And if you are familiar with the bo you will probably think: How it is possible to hover the Jet Ranger precise? (maybe the real is a little bit easier to fly? The c.g. has big influence and I don't know where it is.) On the other hand: If you thought, the flightgear bo is to easy to fly, try these. The ch47 is only to demonstrate, how a two rotor heli is controlled. (the as350 has a main rotor rotating clockwise, while the bo has a main rotor rotating counter clockwise. The animation is always the same (and therefore wrong for the as350). I am in doubt, if I should change the code to correct the angles for the animation (e.g. this would mean an incidence of 180 degree as default for clockwise rotating rotors). What do the modelers think?) Best regards, Maik - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
