Hi,

here are some pictures from Linuxtag 2007 (includeing those from
Torsten):

http://sadr.dfn.de/~wirtz/_bilder_linuxtag_2007/Linuxtag/

For bigger images do the following:
- click on the thumbnail
- click on the opened small picture

You get a new window with the original resolution.

Watch out for the nice packaging for windows at the end of the pictures!

Thanks for this really nice for days!!!

 No, there wouldn't be anything wrong with it. Except that this
 is not the whole story!

 Gerard *had* offered it for CVS *knowing* that JSBSim had no
 carrier support. It was I who committed it, and I had some work
 making it acceptable and applying (often broken) patches. Then
 he started bitching about the poor performance of the fgfs/jsbsim
 developers, who didn't work fast enough for him. And after
 carrier support had still not been implemented after some months(?)
 he asked for his aircraft to be removed again from CVS. There
 was no holding back at all.

 There were discussions about it on IRC, and people offered to help
 out with a YASim FDM config (with working carrier support at that
 time already), but Gerard didn't only refuse to accept the help, he
 even wrote on his HP as a copyright restriction that nobody
 would be allowed to write a YASim config for his F8![1]

 We wouldn't have had to remove the F8 -- after all it was offered
 under the GPL -- but it was removed anyway. (Well, not really,
 it's still in CVS, in the attic. ;-) This was someone taking revenge
 on the FlightGear project because it didn't follow his orders.
 Pathetic behavior like this does fortunately not happen often in
 the OSS world. But I'd be careful to ever again accept contributions
 from unreliable people. And in this light the advertising on the
 fgfs list is, well, kind of weird.

That  is a story partly reviewed by Melchior to make a better scenario.

[Flightgear-devel] Building FlightGear 0.9.11 on Ubuntu 7.04

2007-06-04 Thread Innis Cunningham
Hi All
I have transfered over to here because I have FG 9.11 working but with
some gymnastics.
Openal built ok
Plib would not build said it could not find working GL library ended up
installing plib dev package by synaptic.
SimGear seemed happy with plib but could not find alut. Installed
libalut and libalut-dev this enabled SimGear to configure but during Make
the following error occured.

/SimGear-0.3.11-pre1/simgear/sound/openal_test1.cxx:120: undefined reference
to `alutCreateBufferFromFile'

Removed the offending section from openal_test1.cxx and ran Make again got 
further
but once again had an error.But without doing anything I ran Make again and 
to my
surprise it ran without error.Now I know that this is not right but the rest 
of the build
went without problems and sound seems to be working fine.

The only other problem I notice so far is the one that has been mentioned 
before and
that is the sim stops(well almost) if you select fullscreen.So reading the 
previous
posts I tried game mode this started FG at the same screen size as if 
nothing had
been selected next I tried fullscreen this never fully started as I shut it 
down after
about a minute and found this error.

Function glutSetCursor called without first calling 'glutInit'.

Then I tried geometry= 1024x768 and geometry=1280x1024 both these started 
and
ran fine. As 1280x1024 is fullscreen for me it seems strange that the sim 
won't run if
fullscreen is selected but will if 1280x1024 is.This problem does not seem 
to occur on
FG 9.9 which I have on another hard drive when used on the same computer.

Hope this information helps someone.If anyone wants to know all the things I 
did to get
FG 9.11 going on Ubuntu 7.04 just ask

Thanks to Ron and Curt for there help

Cheers
Innis

Re: [Flightgear-devel] An2 fixes for MP

 When I write model, I don't take care about MP abilites, so I say big
 thanks for you and you work.
 Let's it to go to CVS.
No problem - it likely would have gone unnoticed for much longer had it not 
been for the volume of traffic at EDDI last week :-)

 What's a rules for right MP animations? Should I not use leading slashes
 for properties? for default properties only or for custom props too?

Basically, the leading slash makes the path absolute; so for 
example /surface-positions/flap-pos-norm will always be controlled by the 
main, local FDM running.

That means that if your 3d model uses that path to animate the flaps, in MP 
everyone who sees an An2 will see the flaps on that model controlled by their 
own FDM, not the other pilot.

If you use the relative surface-positions/flap-pos-norm for the animation 
though, when the An2 is used as an AI model as in MP, the actual path that is 
read might be /ai/models/multiplayer[0]/surface-positions/flap-pos-norm and 
the animations will then be relevant to each particular instance of the An2.

For custom properties there is not quite the same urgency since they're not 
passed by the MP protocol (yet), but unless there is a good reason to use an 
absolute path I think it would be wise to avoid them.

In my patch I left some of your custom properties with leading slashes - they 
should probably be removed too, but I didn't want to interfere with someone 
else's model more than absolutely necessary.

Hopefully the above is fairly correct, it's still a bit early on a Monday 
morning for me to be thinking ;-)

Cheers,

AJ

 Hi All

 I have just been having a fly with the 737-300 and noticed it
 creates a JSBSim FDM monitoring file everytime it is started
 (well I think everytime).As it can run to quite a large file in
 quite a small time maybe it will catch people unaware as they
 may not know were it is coming from.As it is for development
 maybe it can be removed from stable version of FG or at least
 commented out(which is what I have done).

The output section can (should) be removed for FlightGear CVS storage.

[Flightgear-devel] New Aircraft: Dragonfly - Linuxtag edition

2007-06-04 Thread Torsten Dreyer
Hi all,

as promised the Dragonfly that was created during Linuxtag 2007 is in CVS 
(thanks, Martin!).

The Dragonfly is a microlight aircraft built by Bill Moyes.

It is pure fun to fly and due to it's slow flying speed it is ideal for 
scenery discovery and training flights.

Have fun and please report problems (and maybe success)

[Flightgear-devel] JSBSim turbine state machine

2007-06-04 Thread Csaba Halász

Looks like if the engine is Starved once, it always stays that way
even if the aircraft is refuelled. I have tried to make this work, and
hacked the state machine.
Please review my changes as I may have broken something.

* I have moved the selection of the next state into the appropriate
handler - I think it belongs there
* I have overridden the ConsumeFuel function so that it automatically
sets the state to tpOff if out of fuel.
* The starter operates as follows: the engine is spin-up. After that
state is set to tpStart. In the next iteration Start() will check if
there is fuel or not.

This probably belongs to the jsbsim mail list, but I am not subscribed
there and Jon seems to be reading fg-devel anyway. Sorry if this
caused any inconvenience.

Greets,
Csaba

[Flightgear-devel] HEADS UP: simgear cvslogs mailing list.

2007-06-04 Thread Curtis Olson

! ! ! ! HEADS UP TO ALL THOSE THAT ARE SUBSCRIBED TO THE SIMGEAR-CVSLOGS
MAILING LIST ! ! ! !

I have decided that I want to get out of the being spam bait business.
Currently, the only mailing lists hosted by mail.flightgear.org are the
simgear-cvslogs list and the terragear lists.  99.99% of the traffic that
comes through this machine is spam.  The machine consistently runs at a high
load average, just because it's running spam assassin and virus checking on
each incoming mail.  Part of the recent simgear-cvslog list problems were
due to a huge flood of spam that basically put a 2 week wait just for the
mail queue scanner to get through the queue once.

I have activated the source forge simgear-cvslogs mailing list and will very
shortly start directly commit logs to that list instead of the one I host
locally.  I won't move people's subscriptions over myself, you will need to
do that yourself.

To subscribe to this list, go to:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simgear-cvslogs

I need to decide what to do about the terragear mailing lists, but those are
lower volume, and as a backup, people could post questions and issues to
flightgear-devel (which often happens anyway.)

As an aside, I will probably point the mx records for flightgear.org over to
google mail (boo hisss) :-) and let them deal with the spam.  But, as part
of that, I would have the opportunity to setup as many as 100 email accounts
for our organization.  Once this is done I'll send out a fuller email, but
I think it would be no problem to offer people [EMAIL PROTECTED] email
addresses at that point for those that would want the elevated status and
spam exposure that such an in demand domain name brings. :-)

SO GO RIGHT NOW AND SUBSCRIBE YOURSELF TO THE * * * NEW * * *
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list so you don't miss a commit
message:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/simgear-cvslogs

Curt.

 Thanks for this really nice for days!!!


Let me just use this reply to second that. First of all, let me take this 
opportunity to thank everybody involved for the excellent organization! I was 
only at the booth for two days, Thursday and Friday, so I missed out on all 
the excitement of organizing and setting it up. It wasreally nice once again 
to meet some people from the project, and a great opportunity to discuss 
development ideas face to face. 

On Friday, we installed some additional IA goodies I had brought with me, and 
once we discovered it didn't work as expected, I learned how invaluable it 
was to have _the_ FlightGear OSG expert at the booth. Matthias and I started 
a debugging session (Matthias coding, and me test-flying), and within an hour 
the problem was solved! In addition to that, some other serious development 
work was going on during the meeting:Torsten Dreyer build the DragonFly, and 
me and Thomas Foerster did ground networks for EDDI, and EDDT (thanks Torsten 
for having TaxiDraw/CVS on your laptop!). 

In general, people were very enthusiastic, and this alone makes the effort of 
working on FlightGear very rewarding. I probably didn't talk to as many 
people as some of the other members, but those people I did talk with were, 
in general, very enthusiastic. I did talk with one experienced private pilot, 
who described the simulation of the Piper as excellent, his only comment 
being that the absence of proprioceptive and auditory feedback did make it 
hard to judge the landing. Personally, I've been exposed to many aspects of 
FlightGear I hadn't really gotten into sofar. These included Flying the 
Helicopter (Awesome: Holger uploaded some pictures, where it seems all I'm 
doing is heliflying :-)), Carrier take-off and landing (Didn't try myself. 
Wanted to, but we were flying with Metar enabled, and just as I was making 
low passes over San Francisco, a low and thick overcast cloud layer came in), 
and Multiplayer (really nice).

Finally, I believe a BIG thank you is in place for Sun micro systems, who 
loaned hardware for the booth. This solar system gave a stellar performance; 
even with loads of multiplayer and AI goodies enabled. The multi display 
system also shows the power of OpenSceneGraph, and in case one might have had 
any doubts about the way of the future, let this be final proof that OSG is 
the way to go! Thanks everybody for your involvement.

Cheers,
Durk

 Have fun and please report problems (and maybe success)

One thing I noticed - on the ground, apply brakes, the engine sound stops (or 
is silenced).

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Impressions from LinuxTag

2007-06-04 Thread Matthias Boerner
Hallo Stuart,

we had two SUN Ultra 40 workstations each with two dual core Opterons 
280, 8GB of memory and two Nvidia Quadro FX 3500 graphic cards. The 
monitors were four SUN 20,1 TFT displays with a resolution of 
1600x1200.

 It's not a particularly new feature, and it's documented in The
 Manual:

 http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/getstart/getstartch5.html#x10-710005.4

 ... as all good features should be ;)

You only have to configure your xorg.conf file with four screens and 
there is a section in the preferences.xml file in the FlightGear data 
directory configuring four cameras for osgViewer. I will post both 
files tomorrow on the list or I can document it in the wiki.

Greetings

Matthias

[Flightgear-devel] Plib - weather radar

2007-06-04 Thread Vivian Meazza
Hi,

Just a reminder that an improved weather radar is available at:

ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk/fgfs/instrumentation/

In addition to the existing weather radar functions, this improved
instrument uses the Radar Equation to display raw radar contacts, corrected
for RCS and the radar horizon, as well as data and TACAN contacts. It
displays AI Ships, AI Aircraft and Multiplayer aircraft (and Ballistic
objects, if the RCS is big enough). It also implements the map mode
currently broken in the existing instrument.

Due to the fact that it will not work in FG-osg (any more) than the existing
one does), it seems unlikely to make into the plib branch, but I've updated
it to today's head.

I do not intend to do so in the future - grab it now if you want it, this is
my last activity on this code.

Vivian

I'd prefer to have both files as a sample in the Docs section of the FG
base package,

Please note that Matthias is understating _heavily_ when using the word
only. Having these Sun machines plus the display available for the
booth was nothing than tremendously great !
