Re: [Flightgear-devel] Proposed new set of splash screens
Hi Erik, I think the proposed splash screens are excellent except for http://home.telfort.nl/sp004798/emh/Splash3.png 2 things just don't seem right: 1. The rain/snow, which we FG users know is brilliant, might give the impression of a poor quality picture. 2. Because of the angle the pic was taken from, it looks as if there is a floating engine in front of the front undercarriage. Just my personal view, no insult intended.

[Flightgear-devel] variant FDM
I recently discovered that it is possible to fly the C172p (and presumably lots of other aircraft) using --fdm=ufo. This has the potential to be very useful, for instance if you want to pose the aircraft for pictures, and for navaid flight check missions. This really ought to be documented. Conversely the getstart manual ought to document the fact that in most other cases, a given aircraft cannot be switched from one FDM to another. The manual says the FDM is to be chosen at runtime but most combinations don't work, and most users will give up before they discover any non-default working combinations.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Proposed new set of splash screens
I am willing to defer to the general consensus, but for me Free Flight Simulator doesn't quite have the all the right nuances. I still kind of like natural flying or flying naturally or flying a la natural. :-) For anyone considering resolution, remember that these are drawn as opengl textures so the dimensions need to be powers of 2. 512x512 isn't a bad compromise in terms of space versus resolution. There probably no point in going larger than 1024x1024. Curt.

[Flightgear-devel] null-FDM and UFO-FDM instrument outages
Here's a mystery for you: Please take a look at http://www.av8n.com/fly/fgfs/img48/null-fdm-instruments.png Most of the instruments are working, but the rate-of-turn indicator and the Nav 1 CDI/GS needles are frozen. You can see from the property browser that the Nav receiver is properly tuned up and is trying to drive the needles. This is observed during playback using the null FDM. The same sort of frozen instruments are observed using the UFO FDM. The mystery gets deeper because I also observed that clicking on the OBS setting knob does successfully rotate the OBS card on Nav 1. I have debugged this as far as I can. I'm stuck.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] null-FDM and UFO-FDM instrument outages
Hi John, I ran into the same problem with using generic instruments when developing the bluebird over 2 years ago. Some instruments rely on properties that are only updated by the FDM, and the ufo doesn't. So I wrote my own nasal to fill in those gaps, and/or I made my own instruments by modifying a line or two from the generic version. In another case, the instrument(s) look to the property systems/electrical/outputs and so does not work because the ufo does not have an electrical bus. :) Another property the ufo fdm does not update is altitude-agl etc. etc. So you can't change the FDM and expect everything that rely on a specific FDM, to keep working.

[Flightgear-devel] Seeking permission -- reuse of SimGear component
Hi folks, I'm working on a US-government-funded flight planner for a NASA airborne astronomy mission (SOFIA). Airborne astronomy has worked in true headings for over 30 years due to ever-antiquated NASA INS systems, but the spec has recently changed to magnetic. So, I get to code up a magnetic variation model. SimGear has one, and it's simpler than anything else out there. Unfortunately, it claims GPLv2. That would force NASA's hand at releasing the planner code publicly, not something I can do as a contractor (nor would it be useful to anyone -- AFAIK, SOFIA is the only airworthy aircraft in existence that does not fly the wind triangle). So, I seek permission to use the pair of files coremag.hxx and coremag.cxx without releasing the entire work. I would like to modify it to read coefficients from a file, so we can update it to stay consistent with our FMS, to localize the namespace, and to excise it from SimGear (no SG #includes). I will ask if I can contribute this to the SimGear project, but it's not very likely. Please e-mail in addition to replying to the list. Much appreciated. Michael A. K. Gross -- Michael A. K.

Another property the ufo fdm does not update is altitude-agl etc. etc. Can you be more specific? I'm pretty sure the LOC and GS needles don't depend on altitude-agl.

So you can't change the FDM and expect everything that rely on a specific FDM, to keep working. I'm pretty sure I don't expect that. See my note on the subject from a couple of hours ago. However, given that the null fdm is documented to work (according to README.io and according to getstart.pdf) I think we should discuss it when it doesn't work, especially given that it comes so very close to working. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
