Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear/Plib periodic stutter notes

2007-10-25 Thread Torsten Dreyer
 C-like in many ways.  Probably the biggest barrier for most people is
 going to be getting their development system setup properly so they can
 compile their new code additions or changes.
I sort of disagree here. Setting up a development system is not a big deal 
(even I managed to do it, so anybody else should be able to) but its not that 
easy to get your changes into the system. 
I am not complaining about this and I acknowledge that changing the internal 
program is a thing that has to be carefully reviewed. Writing some Nasal code 
usually does not affect the whole system and can be maintained for a single 
aircraft.
To make things easier for developers, can we think of a plug-in system for 
callbacks so a potential developer write a library that is linked in 
dynamically by the flightgear core?
I think having a plug-in system for compiled/binary extensions whould give us 
great flexibility without touching the flightgear-core to heavily.

 To make things easier for developers, can we think of a plug-in
 system for callbacks so a potential developer write a library

No.

That would mean to add and maintain plug-in loader code for all
supported platforms, as well as hundreds of lines of documentation,
for people who are bright enough

 - to set up a development environment
 - to understand enough of fgfs internals to write a module
 - that follows an interface API specification

but are too stupid

 - to add three lines to a Makefile.am
 - one line to fg_init.cxx and 
 - one line to main.cxx

Such a feature wouldn't make developing one bit easier or
faster -- quite on the contrary. And it would lead in no
time to Windows/Linux/Mac-*only*, binary *only* addons.
Sure, the GPL would prohibit to run such modules with fgfs,
and Curt would be happy to sue all infringers (because he
has too much time and too much money. :-)

This is not where we want to go. (As far as I'm concerned,
but I don't speak for the project.)

There has been the odd difficulty over style, indents, and tabs. But let's

[Flightgear-devel] J3 Cub Back Seat Driver

2007-10-25 Thread Hans Fugal
Would it be possible to change the default position for the j3cub to
sitting in the front seat instead of the back seat? That would make
the instruments (especially the compass) actually readable. Maybe have
a second -set file for back seat drivers?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] J3 Cub Back Seat Driver

2007-10-25 Thread Hans Fugal
Ah, I didn't realize you started there for weight/balance reasons. I
thought it was just someone's preference. Definitely don't change it
then. That mouse trick is nice.

I wonder if it is really that hard to see the compass in the real
plane. Maybe so, but combined with the small size and the various
reasons why it's hard to make out the magnetic compass in FG even at
regular size I have to think maybe it's extra-difficult.

 The thing is, you do fly the J3 cub solo from the back seat for
 weight-and-balance reasons, so it definitely should be the default.
 Apparently, it really is that hard to see the instruments in a Cub,
 but fortunately, you don't use them much in a plane like that.  You
 can move the pilot view position forward if you want using the mouse
 (that applies to any plane) -- go into mouse view mode, and hold down
 the middle mouse button and CTRL on the keyboard, then slide the mouse
 forward.

 Note that Microsoft Flight Simulator X, which now also comes with a J3
 Cub (I think we were first), starts you in the back seat as well.


 All the best,


 David

I can make it out at 1280x800, but I agree that it is hard to read.

Then again, in real life, I can barely read the mag compass in my
Warrior sitting in the front seat -- it's a tiny, dim sort of thing.
Generally, I lean over and stick my face right in front of it when I
need to calibrate my heading indicator.

For flying a Cub, you shouldn't look at the compass very often -- it's
a look-out-the-window plane, not a look-at-the-panel plane.  Use 'x'
to zoom in on the compass to check your heading once in a while
(ctrl-X will snap back to regular zoom), then pick a point outside the
window as your heading reference and look at it instead of the
compass.  That's probably the best equivalent of the Cub pilot leaning
forward to take a glance.


All the best,

 You can set the position, field of view, and initial view direction
 (along with all sort of other stuff not covered by adding a new view to
 the aircraft config - the following just needs adding to the -set.xml

  view n=100

 It's possible to define a whole load of views in this way - user defined
 views should start from n=100.

[Flightgear-devel] J3 Cub rerigged (was Re: J3 Cub Back Seat Driver)

2007-10-25 Thread David Megginson
Since I came back to FlightGear a few weeks ago, I've flown the J3 Cub
mainly with the mouse (for short breaks from work), so I hadn't
noticed how badly out of trim the plane has been flying.  I've just
checked in changes to fix the (non-adjustable) rudder and aileron trim
to get rid of the strong roll+skid tendency in level cruise.  Note
that the plane will still pull to the left at a high angle of attack
(e.g. takeoff or steep climb), as it should.

For those of you who like this model, it should be a bit less annoying
to fly with a joystick or yoke now.


All the best,


David

You can adjust it in flight if you bind some keys to the trim
properties, but it would be pretty unrealistic -- I doubt that any J3
Cub has ever had rudder or aileron trim.

With the builts from 10/24/2007 and 10/05/2007 in both

subsystems. There are no error messages in the shell
and no on the win32 eventmanager...

Does anyone else have this problem? And how to get rid
of them? I can't go on working on the 737-cockpit with

Is this using the windows version? I downloaded the precompiled PLIB version

I managed to solve it by checking out a fresh copy of the data tree from CVS. 
So it looks like it's a version mismatch between program and data. 

There is a 0.9.11-pre1 source package dating back from may, but that one also

With the interval timing bug solved, we could consider opening up the

Yes, it's really *high* time. But what's with the plib release?
I would have liked to make fgfs depend on 1.8.5. This fixes a
bug with font colors in list widgets (property browser!) and
other stuff. (And it would also allow me to commit a cleanup
patch that I have running here since a *year*: it removes
src/GUI/puList.[ch]xx, which is then superfluous, and cleans
up dialog.cxx and other GUI files. Not risky at all. :-)

Wouldn't it be a bit excessive to make fgfs DEPEND on 1.8.5, considering it 
works quite acceptably with 1.8.4, and considering that most distros likely 
won't be supplying 1.8.5 for ages after it's released?

It's not a problem for me since I don't ever use our releases anyway, but I 
can see it adding an extra step of unnecessary nuisance for people wanting to 
build the latest version of fgfs instead of waiting for their distro to get 
round to it...

I don't see what's wrong with just highly recommending 1.8.5 if/when it's 
released; after all, the minor cleanups mentioned surely aren't that big a 
deal when this might well be our last non-OSG release anyway?

 Wouldn't it be a bit excessive to make fgfs DEPEND on 1.8.5, 

No. It's statically linked, and 99 percent of the users use
compiled binaries (number made up). The 1 percent can be
asked to download the latest stable release. The broken
version 1.8.4 makes fgfs look worse than it needs to be.
I see that especially in the screenshots that you uploaded
to the wiki.

  With the interval timing bug solved, we could consider opening up the
  discussion for a new release again.

 Yes, it's really *high* time. But what's with the plib release?
 I would have liked to make fgfs depend on 1.8.5. This fixes a
 bug with font colors in list widgets (property browser!) and
 other stuff. (And it would also allow me to commit a cleanup
 patch that I have running here since a *year*: it removes
 src/GUI/puList.[ch]xx, which is then superfluous, and cleans
 up dialog.cxx and other GUI files. Not risky at all. :-)


There was a flurry of activity following my initial enquiry. John Fay has been 
very active incorporating a few patches, and Steve Baker mentioned giving him 
(or somebody else who wished to volunteer) admin rights. As far as I know 
that hasn't happened yet. 

IIRC, I presented a Plan-B in case a plib-18.5 release didn't happen. 
Probably the best course of action is to send a friendly reminder to the plib 
list, and if it doesn't happen again, stick to plan B.

FWIW, I probably don't have much time to spend on preparatory release work 
until after FSWeekend (3  4 November; more on that later). 

Cheers,
Durk

Yes, but I won't do that. I did it on 2007/04/02, and the question
remained unanswered. The last posting before that was two and a
half months earlier, and the next was two months later. There are
nicer places to be ignored.

I'm a bit impatient with plib, and I think that integrating the
code into fgfs becomes more and more desirable. Which is also a
reason why I would like to have the fgfs code cleaned up w.r.t.
to the GUI parts. But I can commit my one year old patch right
after the release, too. It would just be a pity if people
continued to use the broken plib version out of laziness (and
because we don't force them to use the fixed one. :-)

 You can adjust it in flight if you bind some keys to the trim

 Cub has ever had rudder or aileron trim.

Or have a joystick.

 Subject: [Flightgear-devel] Unknown failure while 
 Initializing subsystems onwin32 and Fedora 7 x86_64
 
 
 Hello,
 
 Me, Aeortro and maybe some ohthers noticed a problem
 with fgfs. 
 With the builts from 10/24/2007 and 10/05/2007 in both
 branches OSG and plib FGFS shut down while intializing 
 subsystems. There are no error messages in the shell and no 
 on the win32 eventmanager...
 
 Does anyone else have this problem? And how to get rid
 of them? I can't go on working on the 737-cockpit with
 these troubles
 

This is not a fgfs problem - I compile my own versions of both branches for
Windows, and have never had that problem (yet :-)). Looks like a data
compatibility problem, or a bad binary. 

Why not compile your own, too? MSVC8 is a free download, and the project
files are provided. It takes a little setting up, but once it's done
compilation is swift, and (usually) painless.

Actually, the J3 does use a stick instead of a yoke -- you can see it
in the 3D model (it's mounted on the floor, between where your feet
would be).


All the best,

 I'm pretty sure they're referring to the win32 binary I posted. For the
record, I too suspect it's a data problem. I updated the source from CVS
yesterday at work, compiled it and ran it (that's the 20071024 binary that's
being referred to). I also updated source from CVS at home just now,
compiled and ran it with no problems.

Hi,

I'm not sure but I'm think the problem is maybe in
WinCVS. Today I noticed that the CH47 was not quite
uploaded. The ac.model was missing though Syd had
uploaded 3h before

Maybe I have to try the TortoiseCVS...

Found something similiar in the devel archives.  His solution was to build 
again and it went away although he had an Nvidia card,  

quote--
I obtained cvs updates (again) to the following and built them in order:

OpenThreads
Producer
OpenSceneGraph
SimGear-0.3
FlightGear (source)
FlightGear (data - update only)

All is well again. Whatever the glitch the latest updates  builds do 
not throw the above error + backtrace

Could be well possible. Maybe it's a line endings problem, or something? I 
used the command line CVS version that comes with cygwin, and everything 
works fine.
