[Flightgear-devel] Navigation data, current data cycle distributed
Hi Navs I see with release/2.4.0 of fgdata there comes fix.dat, nav.dat and awy.dat and others from a data cycle 2009.12 by Robin Peel. Do we update this files to the current available data cycle, with the release ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Default 3d clouds in Local Weather
That should be 1 second for most systems, so that's great. Does that just cover the elevation queries or generating the full model? That should be 1 sec for everything (I don't have any measurement for how fast generating the cloud models is, but it is *very* fast. If so, then I wonder if we can look at hiding the stop/start function from the end user. I think that would help the UI, and hopefully allow us to move towards my holy grail of a single (simple) UI for both global and local weather. Yes, the new terrain interaction is more than 50 times faster than the old one - that should allow to regernate a sky whenever someone presses 'apply'. I'd prefer not to make it configurable. We've seen some problems on older system where we exceed the number of registers available to the shaders for input, so I'd like to avoid adding any more if possible. Agreed. Let's just find the nicest value to insert. Yes, the sprite is selected from the sheet randomly on the x-axis and based on it's height in the cloud on the y-axis for precisely this reason. The behaviour isn't switchable at present though it could be. For the relatively small texture sheets I used in the default 3D clouds, I simply duplicated the textures, so you'd have a 2x6 or 3x9 sheet. Given that cloud performance is effectively limited by sprite resolution and coverage rather than texture sheet size, that might be OK. Otherwise I can add a switch fairly easily. Let me know if you want me to do so. If it's not too much trouble, I think the switch would be nice. Duplicating textures in this case (since a single image has about 1000x400 pixels) would mean going to a 2048x1024 sheet (possibly doesn't work) or then quadrupling it with several permutations on 2048x2048 - which seems a waste of good disk space. I've done my first 'real' flight (i.e. not using the ufo) with the new system (and after compiling against OSG 3.01) yesterday - just a short hop from KLSV to KINS with the F-16 - framerate never dropped below 40 fps even with a fairly dense layer and 45 km visibility, in sparse clouds climbed above 70 fps. Pretty awsome... I don't really know how much of this is due to the new OSG version and how much due to the different cloud/terrain interaction system, but the combination is rather powerful. Even without splitting a sky generation across several frames, the delay building a new tile is actually less than the texture loading delay when I turn my head in the F-16 too much... * Thorsten -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Proposal: Move airplanes to an SVN repository
I've started the first phase of trimming down fgdata. I've removed the an2 from fgdata and put it in its own repository called ac-an2 under the Flightgear project. I'm going to proceed with moving other aircraft which haven't been touched in a while into their own repos as well. When we get down to a working set of aircraft that are currently under development, I will turn off commit rights in fgdata for a short period while I extract those aircraft.

I'd also add, incidentally, that creating your own repo automatically gives you commit rights to it as well.

[Flightgear-devel] Patch to fix the wrong mouse-scroll behavior on Mac.
Hi there, I found a bug on 2.4.0 branch related to mouse scroll up/down. # I posted this issue to FlightGear Bug Tracker but I want to post this here since code fix is coming soon. Most of recent Macs have trackpad or magic mouse. The scrolling action on these devices generates SCROLL_2D event instead of SCROLL_UP/DOWN event. (FYI, SCROLL_UP or SCROLL_DOWN event is generated on unix and windows.) FGEventHandler.cxx handles SCROLL_UP/DOWN event as follows: if (ea.getScrollingMotion() == osgGA::GUIEventAdapter::SCROLL_UP) button = 3; else button = 4; Since this code implicitly handles SCROLL_2D as button 4 (means SCROLL_DOWN button), both scrolling up and down on Mac unexpectedly converted to scroll down button. As a result, scrolling up and down is always treated as scroll DOWN! (or zoom out on MAP) Patch for this is available from: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=403 I already tested this on Mac and works fine with trackpad. please try this on unix and see if it won't affect unix/windows. I believe this doesn't affect the behavior on other platforms since osgViewer doesn't generate SCROLL_2D on unix and Windows.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Proposal: Move airplanes to an SVN repository
Another plus is I can work on my projects without risking other parts ... I already have several repositories on the go , I can set up the rest if that will help the process, but may need coaching if it means I need to do some extra things to 'link' them to fgdata/Aircraft... Thanks for tackling this , Tim. Cheers -- FREE DOWNLOAD - uberSVN with Social Coding for Subversion. Subversion made easy with a complete admin console.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Having an issue with my mags
Gary, Thanks for the info. I've been going like crazy through various aircraft and their systems trying to get a grip on all of the things you can manipulate in FlightGear. It's pretty awesome that the detail levels go down to the electrical busses and stuff. It's going to take me a while, but eventually I'll get the hang of it.

Like I said, only been diving into this a week and am still figuring things out, so a simple answer would be best. ;) Hi Rob, As Syd said, a YASim aircraft doesn't use the YASim fixed-wing engine declarations, but uses a different set of specifications for the rotor and its drive train. I'm not a helicopter developer, so I can't help with details of rotor stuff, but maybe Heiko other helicopter gurus will drop in with comments. What I can say is that you don't have to rely on the YASim FDM to do all the simulation and in some cases you're better off not using YASim's results. For my own projects (fixed-wings), I'm increasingly taking engine parameters into my own hands, crafting my own code (nasal scripts) to supplement, modify, or replace the engine parameters YASim provides. If you want to simulate a helicopter engine you could write your own routines to manage the engine itself; temperatures, pressures, RPMs, start-up, shut-down, fuel, that sort of thing. Some things might link to YASim's rotor outputs, like RPMs etc. Others might be managed separately with no FDM dependencies. Since you're fairly new to Flightgear it may take a little while to get comfortable with all this. If you study the configuration files of many planes and helicopters, you'll encounter a lot of clever ideas and solutions. There really aren't many restrictions other than what you are willing to do. That's kinda the cool thing about Flightgear. -Gary, aka Buckaroo -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

[Flightgear-devel] Another newbie question
Since I'm still going through all of the Docs and readme's I thought I'd just ask this question. Is there a command built into FG to call a c++ routine from inside an xml document? I have written a nice piece of code to open pipes to usb peripherals and am playing with the chunk tags to move the relevant data around in FG. Now I just have to marry the two by calling the c++ routine and inserting the data as a variable. Thanks, Rob -- FREE DOWNLOAD - uberSVN with Social Coding for Subversion.
