Hi Torsten, Thanks for your offer. Of course I can wait. Plus, James Turner was kindly enough to test my patches and it got a linker error on SG, so I need to fix the error (due to the order of static libs, I guess). It may takes a few days, so no problem at all. I'll repost the patches when it

[Flightgear-devel] Small fix for fgrun

2009-09-09 Thread Tom P
Hi I've noticed that in fgrun there's no way to pass a working 'carrier' location to fgfs, and this fixes it. As it is now, both --airport and --carrier are passed, and fgfs defaults to the airport location, while after applying this fix, if the carrier field is not empty, the airport selection wi

Hi Vivian, testing your new groundvehicle class for AI scenarios in the context of a "train" of tanks and another of jeeps, I stumbled into their wandering in the air. The solution is two-fold : one, specify a starting altitude through the tag in the groundvehicle's in the ai scenario, even thoug

Oh, but that's why I tested also a build from 7/15, I just wanted to exclude that. Looking closely, I found a reference to this problem on the forum afterwards: http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4880 and, yeah, I can confirm that the accelerometer is usable to control the pl

That was a good hint, because I looked at the property tree, and on 9.04 I see an extra item, /input/joysticks/js Weird, I think, I don't have a joystick. Turns out 9.04 recognized the internal accelerometer on my laptop as a input source and I can control the airplane by tilting the laptop!

Hi I was wondering if anyone has seen a weird input behaviour on Ubuntu 9.04. I'm building from HEAD but even building an old version (7/15) shows the same behaviour. Basically the throttle and surface inputs are received, but controls are "re-centered" from time to time, like it would be the cas
