Re: [Flightgear-devel] Seneca questions

2009-07-19 Thread Torsten Dreyer
 There are 2 little things I moticied in the Seneca, I don't know if these
 are intentional :
Nope - they are bugs!

 -- the ki525a knobs do not light at night with the other instruments. Is it
 like this in real ? It makes it difficult to dial a heading/obs at night.
Fixed.

 -- whatever I set MKR/Mute and sensitivity on the gma340, beacon marker
 lights never light. I never hear them either. Did I miss something ?
Well - you simply never can hear light ;-)
Fixed, too. The definition for the marker-beacon instrument was missing in the 
instrumentation configuration. The sensitivity is still a noop, because 
changing sensitivity is not (yet) supported in the current implementation of 
marker_beacon.cxx.

Thanks for pointing these out.

 This avoids MSVC bugs in declaring templated specializations of static

Unfortunately, there are still errors in the MSVC9 compile. Tim and I have
been working to correct them, but we are still some way off. We are down to
1 right now, but it is proving rather intractable.

Tim is unavailable atm, as is Fred, so do not expect an early resolution of

These are only dirty tricks when the bad guys do them. :-)  Even the GPL
has a lock you in strategy. Governments have a tendency to consolidate and
accumulate power and lock the people into systems that allow the gov't to
maintain it's control.  If you are a MS employee you probably think MS's
strategies are a good thing.  If  you are an open-source advocate you
probably think the GPL strategy is a good thing.   We as humans put a big
emphasis on judging intent ... so in places like the court room, the final
outcome or penalty often has a huge dependence on perceived intent.  And our
personal views of good lock in strategies versus bad lock in strategies
also depend on our personal views and personal judgment of intent.  (And
that's purely my opinion ... ) :-)

MS is only doing the same things that every other company is also doing.
It's just that MS has been very successful, and their decisions and policies
affect a lot of people and therefore they have drawn a lot more scrutiny and
attention than most other businesses.

cl.exe which compiles C and C++ has nothing in common with the CLR compiler
(.NET).
Unrelated issues, and what Curtis said : a bit of perspective, gcc is NOT
100% compliant either.
The issue has to do with standards compliance and C++ idioms, not MS
business strategy
Funny how any sense of perspective is thrown out the window with the
opportunity to rag on MS...
Sheesh !!

P.S : if warnings prevented building, no one would be flying today or
tomorrow :) yeah, you're talking about backwards compatibility but obviously
don't have  a clue : you can use old standard unsafe versions of the
routines if you want to, program will run fine on all versions of windows...

[Flightgear-devel] LFDF, wrong dimensions grass strip

2009-07-19 Thread Patrice Poly

Hi

This afternoon I went to a very nice meeting at Couhé Verac in France, plenty 
of nice old planes :)

Back home I tried to see how it looks in FG, and I found it with an error in 
the filed dimensions.

http://imagebin.org/56447

left is generated by brisa's airport painter, right is the official VAC. top 
is seen in  FG.

it seems in FG, the strip is 492x66 feet, while it should be 1047x80 meters, 
so 3435x262 feet.

So far I didn't manage to compile and use taxidraw, so I pass it here with the 
hope someone would give it a quick fix !


regards,
Patrice

 Hi,

 With yesterdays checkin from Tim we need a more or less recent osg version 
 to 
 build flightgear. Tim promised to provide come conditional code to work 
 around 
 that.

 But I would suggest to just have a somehow recent osg version as a 
 requirement 
 for current simgear/flightgear development.

 Can we agree on that or shall we still require sg/fg built on osg-2.8?

 Tim, what is the actual osg development release we need to have?

 
 I just checked in changes that re-enable us to compile using osg 2.8. I 
 tested against
 2.8.2-rc4, but it should work with 2.8.0 and above.

 Soon there may be features that require a more recent OSG to work, but I 
 agree that it
 would be nice to be able to run with 2.8.

I am getting segmentation fault after updating osg trunk from svn, 
SimGear from cvs, and fgfs source from cvs.  I also tried compiling 
against osg-2.8.2-rc4.  I still get a segmentation fault right after 
loading aircraft completes.

Alan,

 

Tim's fixes are now in CVS although not quite finished: you might have to
add NOMINMAX to your pre-processor definitions.

 

I'd be interested to hear how you get on.

No problems.

 

My code-writing skills are even worse than they were when I retired. Once
upon a time I thought that I had the hang of C++, but these days I think
that I must have been mistaken.

 The issue has to do with standards compliance and C++ idioms, 
 not MS business strategy

..Microsoft has _all_ the resources it might ever need to get 
their own compilers to do these things right, and it appears 
they have chosen _not_ to.  

..instead, I see Microsoft prefers to refer to their habitual
non-compliance to standards, as embrace and extend, which is 
what they, Microsoft, calls a Microsoft business strategy. ;o)

..whether or not that decision, by Microsoft, to embrace and 
extend C++ idioms, is some random accident, or, as I (and a 
few more) guess, by their book and in accordance with their 
business strategy, I don't know, I can only point towards 
Microsoft's own track record, which, as we all _can_ see 
(if we want to see), speaks _loudly_ on these matters. ;o)  

..http://groklaw.net/ has all you might ever need, to form 
an educated and honorable opinion on that track record. ;o)
And, is OT here at FG-dev, so let's FU at Groklaw. ;o)

 Funny how any sense of perspective is thrown out the window with the
 opportunity to rag on MS...

..I gave a simple pointer to help answer a seemingly simple 
question that both is and is not quite that simple, to try 
help FlightGear developers from wasting time and effort 
on Microsoft compiler etc issues, that I have learned, 
Microsoft does not want fixed.

..und Sie? ;o)

 Sheesh !!

..you could say that on Debian.org's wisdom ;o) in making 
Mono and C# etc part of their default desktop install, and 
in putting them on their mirrors in the main repository, 
rather than in their non-free or contrib repositories, or 
even in a new donated-mirror-killer-litigation-bait category.  
Etc.  And, is OT here at FG-dev. ;o)

..my own _guess_ is, Microsoft is targeting Debian thru its 
mirror _donors_, all it takes, are non-frivolous lawsuits on 
each donor, and for that you need something better than what 
tSCOG has made IBM, Novell, AutoZone, Chrysler and Red Hat 
spend the last 6 years on, http://groklaw.net/ tracks these 
cases. 

..patent claims or copyright etc infringement claims, _will_ 
do the job, and let's face it, Microsoft does own .NET.
