Re: [Flightgear-devel] FG - FGFX class
I'd like to ask people have relations to FG sound development. Have yours seen osgAL library(plugin) http://www.vrlab.umu.se/research/osgAL/ ? It seems to have add OpenAL functionality and transparent bindings to OSG objects right into OSG. An the other end - it produces yet another dependency. If someone has played around with osgAL - do you have some opinion about that project ?

Just a quick note from the release manager here. :-) About two or three weeks ago, I mentioned my intention to get serious about a new release to be scheduled around December / Christmas. One major hurdle that has made me a bit reluctant to push this idea forward at full throttle is that my telephone company has been severely negligent in moving my ADSL connection. It looks like things are finally rolling again (after I threatened to take legal action), so hopefully, I have a decent ADSL line again next week.

[Flightgear-devel] NVidia release beta 3.0 for linux

[Flightgear-devel] 3D Clouds - patch and progress report
Hi All, After a lot of effort, and help from Tim, I've finally got some 3D shader-based clouds that work acceptably: http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/clouds.jpg A patch is available from here: http:/www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/clouds.tar.gz I've put quite a bit of effort into making the clouds as configurable as possible. The cloudlayers.xml file should allow any cloud-artists to create much prettier clouds than I have managed. There are quite a few bugs to be ironed out:- 1) The cloud grid should shift when the camera moves out of range, to simulate and infinite set of clouds. This doesn't work very well ATM. 2) Currently the only well-defined clouds are cu's (used in the Fair Weather scenario). Better clouds need to be defined for all the other types. This should be possible with some new textures and editing of cloudlayer.xml 3) The alpha-blending isn't working properly 4) Rolling the camera while pointing vertically down on the cloud causes rotation of the texture. 5) The clouds are bit too transparent at medium distances. Nevertheless, I think it would be worth committing the code with these bugs present, if only so other people can have a look and comment. :) Thanks to Tim and also Heiko who provided some nice cloud textures. -Stuart - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Nice to see 3D clouds again in FG OSG. Thank you for all the hard work, this should go into CVS without hesitation, after my opinion. The rain/snow stuff isn'nt perfect but in CVS, so why not this 3D-cloud starter which really compiles and works without problems and gives some of the eye-candy back we had already with PLIB :-) For those who want to have another look at the stuff, here are some screenshots from my first flight - no art, just some pics for demo: http://home.arcor.de/vollnhals-bremen/NewClouds/images.html Regards Georg EDDW - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I assume we would keep this to the default scenery area. And we should keep the questions/goals reasonably simple and easy and quick to discover. If you want a scavenger hunt, then this is one idea. Through an add-on package, the company's logos can be placed in a few places on the scenery, or on planes on area where you'd expect to see a logo. The user can then be required to find all the logos, let say five. The logos should be very easy to find, but one of them should be very well hidden. The company should like this, since they will be advertised in game. Now, the problem with this is that permission will have to be sought from the company to use the logo, and they will want to add a clause to the add-on package regarding the use of their logo, and it will mean this package won't be free (free as in freedom). This is a legal aspect that will have to be worked out. I don't quite like the screenshot idea, since it will be a lot of work as you said, and might cause complains because beauty is subjective. A scavenger hunt plus a draw is more systematic and fair.

Hi, On behalf of mac users, I want to add one requirement to the use of function keys. Please avoid using function keys for frequently used commands. The function keys are used for controlling hardware and some shortcuts for OS features on macs (e.g. LCD Brightness, volume, key light brightness, window managing). Mac users need to either changing ketboard preferences or using Fn-key + function key (or Fn + Command + function key) for flightgear commands assigned to function keys. I'm going to add some multi-key commands for such case, but I also want you guys to mind this issue. Thank you. Tat On Oct 26, 2008, at 10:19 AM, Ron Jensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A.
