Re: [Flightgear-devel] AH-1 Merge Request

2011-02-15 Thread Oliver Fels
Hi,
My development of the Bell AH-1W Cobra is far enough along where  
I feel it is time to commit it to GIT, especially in time for the new  
release. I use GIT, but I don't know enough about it to commit it  
myself. If somebody could commit it for me that would be really great.

The archive Jack has provided contains a Red Bull livery which is based on the 
RB logo as trademarked by Red Bull, Austria.

Unless it is clear that distributing this trademarked item is legal I propose 
not to include the livery into FlightGear GIT.
Otherwise legal action against FlightGear could be filed.

A clarification is currently ongoing.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Simgear and OSG out of sync?

2011-02-15 Thread Tim Moore
I've checked in fixes for this change in osgDB:DatabasePager to the SimGear
and FlightGear next and releases/2.2.0 branches. Part of the delay resulted
from the fact that the Open Scene Graph change introduced a new bug; I have
waited until my patch for that was accepted in OSG to avoid a situation
where people could compile with OSG SVN and then crash immediately. So, You
need to have revision 12170 or later of OSG SVN in order to run fgfs from
the release and next branches. Otherwise you should use OSG 2.8.3 or 2.9.10.
I will not conditionalize code in fgfs based on individual revisions of OSG
SVN; if you are using OSG SVN, then you are, by definition, living on the
bleeding edge.

By the way, I committed the changes to releases/2.2.0 and then merged that
branch into next. This is the way fixes should move between the two
branches. Please don't commit a fix to next and then cherry-pick it to the
release branch. It is very messy to have the same change committed on
several different branches.

 OSG SVN made an API change to Paged LOD, no one yet updated FG to work with
 it. While some developers do track OSG SVN, that's a slightly ambitious goal
 for everyone - personally I stick with the most recent developer release of
 OSG (2.9.9 or 2.9.10 at the moment, depending on who you ask)

 I believe for this paerticular change Tim Moore has a fix pending, but each
 such change (not associated with a version release) requires additional
 configure/cmake complexity to check for the changed API - as was done for
 CullSettings, for example.

[Flightgear-devel] [ANN] tyre smoke system

2011-02-15 Thread Csaba Halász
Seeing all the creative mess people created when trying to use tyre
smoke, I have decided to add a little helper class to aircraft.nas,
named tyresmoke_system. I also tweaked the existing tyresmoke class a
little, but it should still be backward compatible.
To use the new tyresmoke_system, all you need to do is replace your
previous nasal code with a single call as follows:
aircraft.tyresmoke_system.new(0, 1, 2, 3, 4);
Pass the appropriate gear indices as arguments. Nothing else is
needed, updates are managed automatically.

I am not really happy with the physical model either, but I focused on
the nasal side for now.
Please report any bugs, regressions or comments.

Cheers,
Csaba/Jester

[Flightgear-devel] memory usage

2011-02-15 Thread Csaba Halász
I have noticed that after about an hour of hanging around at KSFO in
an ufo on MP, FG's memory went steadily up and eventually reached
2.7GiB. Similarly, during the TGA event at the weekend, memory usage
was above 2GiB by the end of the ~5 hour flight. Looks like we may be
leaking memory. Anybody else have similar experience? I am using
current GIT on 64 bit linux with AI traffic, traffic manager and
replay turned off.

Hi Tim,

Your commit broke SimGear for me (using OSG 2.8.1). I have attached a
tiny patch that restores the ability to compile the last SG git
revision with OSG 2.8.1
Could you please review it and apply it if it makes sense ?

Thanks.

Bertrand.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] AH-1 Merge Request

2011-02-15 Thread Jack Mermod
Hi,

The Red Bull livery has been removed from this release.

Download: http://jackmermod.bplaced.net/Files/cobra21511.zip

I find it ridiculous and a bit immature how Oliver people whine about  
a simple logo.

If Oliver really cared about preventing fictitious lawsuits as he  
claims to, he would concentrate his efforts on the several red bull  
logos that are already in our database.

If this thread is further interfered with, I will be forced to result  
to more forceful methods of having my work committed, or I may very  
well change the license back to the CC license and our community will  
have missed out on a very high quality aircraft.

Regards,
  Jack

Your patch doesn't work for OSG = 2.9 because _readerWriterOptions is
