Can certainly be used for that, but it's not really meant to be
useful for anything but for looking nice. For specific needs it's
probably better to write a separate entry and to copy
and modify the view.flyby container. The whole logic is in there.
BTW: this does also use the new "terrain-elevation" fgcommand,
to make sure the view position is never under terrain. :-)

The best way is probably to forget about those numbers, and to
address the view by name, for example via hash:
var view = {};
var nodes = props.globals.getNode("/sim").getChildren("view");
forindex (var i; nodes)
view[nodes[i].getNode("name").getValue()] = i;
setprop("/sim/current-view/view-number", view["Copilot View"]);

[Flightgear-devel] Flash2a patch
Hi All, I have a new patch available for the flash2a, including: - Improved FDM. Now much closer to the real thing. - Handling notes for transitioning 3-axis pilots - Chrome animation on appropriate metal-work - Flexwing microlight specific CH pro-pedal bindings.

[Flightgear-devel] view manager news & "fly by view"
Today I have reorganized the handling and added a new
view mode. It's still work in progress, but looks quite nice
already: "Fly-By View" This picks a view position somewhere
ahead and lets the aircraft fly by, then searches a new position
etc. Nice for replay, or for experiencing how fast the aircraft
actually flies. (From cockpit view it looks always slow. ;-)
I still need to tweak the parameters and to prevent updates
when the aircraft has barely moved.
The reorganization part was desirable, because until today
the different s had to have continuous indices. When
FlightGear predefined to , then
aircraft had to continue with . A lot of aircraft
did that, but whenever one removed or added a generic view,
all aircraft definitions had to be moved, which was
a huge PITA.
Now indices of definitions can be freely assigned. To
avoid further, unnecessary collisions, I "suggest" (well,
*demand* :-) that aircraft use indices starting with 100,
leaving 0..99 for the "system". (Remember that you don't
have to specify the index in every definition. Setting n="100"
in one will automatically set the next to 101 etc., unless
otherwise specified.
I've also made a minor change to the way numbers are interpreted
when written to /sim/current-view/view-number: 0 and positive
numbers are treated like they used to, so everything works like
before: they select the (n-1)th . But now that holes
are allowed, this does no longer necessarily match the node
index. To select a view with particular node index (e.g. the
aircraft's , one can write that as negative number:
setprop("/sim/current-view/view-number", -100);
This will, of course, immediately be turned into the normal
index (let's say 6), I expect that everyone forgets this feature
quickly, and that nobody uses it, except maybe a few notorious
C++ code readers. ;-)

Hi, Have the same problems - turning off the AI can't really help. But interesting what the console showed.

I usualy , build both FG osg and G plib from the same release, mainly to check the model compatibility during development. i can confirm the Martin remark: olders fg osg and fg plib where giving almost the same performances. It seems recently (but unfortunately i cannot say exactly when, end of february ?) we have lost that performance regarding fg osg. As i said in my previous mail i now get a difference ratio of 2.5 which is very important :( Regards -- Gérard - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
