The ADF produces a left/right audio signal to indicate the NDB direction. It looks like this is done by mixing two stereo files, one with a left track only and one with a right track only. Correct solution is probably to change the position of the sound source for the left/right sound samples. Erik can probably give better hints. True, sample groups that are tied to the listener still support a relative position. So changing the sample to mono, positioning them and use the same 'mixing' configuration should work. There is something fundamentally flawed with stereo files anyhow; most (especially the hardware) OpenAL implementations only support *one* stereo source which isn't processed in 3d space in any way. Stereo files also consume two sources (in this case two wasted sources) and with hardware limits as low as 32 simultaneous sound some people run out of sources real quick.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Some More Detailed Scenery
Hi and a Happy New Year, On Thursday, December 29, 2011 14:29:16 ThorstenB wrote: So, rather than forking development into many little subprojects, and finding ways to better support these forks, we should find solutions, so that scenery developers keep joining forces and improve our common scenery world (uh, that sounds cheesy, right?). No, of course it doesn't. One year ago I have compiled some scenery for eastern Europe, using Corine and OSM. At the time, I was not quite aware of the existing infrastructure and effort to maintain a common database (like the PostGis project). Besides, there was the problem of different licenses for various datasets. If someone would like to analyse the compatibility of various licenses with the Flightgear repo, I'll gladly offer the terrain layers for inclusion in a common repository. Also, I can't reliably host the terrain file myself, and other options have some drawbacks too. Where can I find some documentation on contributing such work?

Hi, I've written an OpenLayers handler to populate some input fields with the cooordinates of a drawn box on the map. The zone has to be defined by first clicking on the lower left corner, then on the upper right one.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] new Altimeter for Cessna c172p
Hi Stephan, On Wed, Jan 4, 2012 at 8:07 PM, Stephan Bourgeois wrote: Hello everybody, I have a new Altimeter ready for the c172p cockpit. However, I have a few questions regarding the panel illumination. 1. All the current instruments, except the AI (gyro) have illuminated knobs. Should I keep this with any new instrument? Yes please. It may not be completely realistic, but as we don't have real cockpit illumination, or a virtual flashlight (!), we've got to cheat slightly to make the aircraft usable. 2. I have problems with materials that don't use a texture map. Even when the light-control is off, standard AC3D materials seem tohave a white illumination. The illumination turns orange as the light-control is turned up. I was hoping to replace the grey texture map on knobs with a standard AC3D material. Has anyone else experienced such a problem? I recall a while ago a recommendation from one of our graphics gurus that it is more efficient to use textures rather than a number of different objects without texture maps. I would suggest just using a texture map in this case to avoid the problem. -Stuart -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Starting / stopping MP in-sim

Given how useful it is to have a decimal degrees read out for scenery development that seems somewhat strange. Was this intentional ? Or is it a regression? I'm thinking it would be better located under HUD properties. On further investigation, it looks like this was lost a long time ago in one of the menu re-organizations, and has been left as a commented-out menu item. At various times, it existed as a menu item under the File, View and Autopilot menus, where each selection cycled through one of three options for /sim/lon-lat-format. AFAICT it's main relevance is to the HUD, so I've created some radio buttons in the HUD Configuration dialog to control this and cleaned up the commented out menu items in menubar.xml. If anyone knows of another use for this property, and can think of a better location in the menu system for controlling it, please let me know. -Stuart -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] new Altimeter for Cessna c172p
Just a random thought: does (could) it have both hPa and InHg scale in the baro window? Would be very practical. Those exist in real life, there sre just two baro scale windows on opposite sides of the gauge face. //Tuomas -- On 4.1.2012 22:08 Stephan Bourgeois wrote: Hello everybody, I have a new Altimeter ready for the c172p cockpit.
