[Flightgear-devel] Flight Computer with HP48G
Does anybody know a good program that emulates a Flight Computer (e.g E6B) on HP48G? I know this question isn't related to FG, but with so many aviation fans, I think I can find a good answer :-) Thanks in advance.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Connecting to FG
Hi Pep. Regarding your second problem: You said you're using Fedora 6. This OS has iptables (firewall) started when the system boots, by default. Maybe iptables is the reason you're not able to connect to your sever. In order to solve you can: - Deactivate iptables: service iptables stop OR - Open the right port in the firewall. To do this, add the following rule in /etc/sysconfig/iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp --dport 5400 -j ACCEPT PS: Please, check the right chain name Then service iptables restart Pep Ribal wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to make a simple application that just retrieves the FG status via the property tree. What I've done: I've started FG with the option --props=5400; I've startet a successful telnet session in the same host, and everything works fine. But I can't manage to make an app that does this connection. I create a socket. Then, the 'connect' call works fine. Then I use a 'write' call to send the string ls to FG. I've tried help and ls\n as well. They both work fine. But then I call 'read' (to see the help/ls results), and nothing is actually read: the program just blocks there without continuing execution. So I assume everything is working fine, except that I'm not using the protocol properly to retrieve information. I suppose FG is not giving information because I don't know how to ask him. What am I doing wrong? There is a second problem, related to my lack of knowledge of Linux server configuration: When I try to telnet FG from a foreign computer of the LAN, it just keeps saying Trying 192.168.1.3..., so I think I need to configure the computer where FG is running so that it accepts the telnet request. How can I do it? I'm running Fedora 6. Thanks. Pep. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] DME for pa28-161
Hi Ron. I've applied the patch you've sent and now I have the radiostack on my pannel. Strange... I have FG 0.9.10 and pa28-161 I'm using is the one that comes with the original package.

No problem to me regarding GPL... I'll wait for your contact. Thanks. On 1/25/07, Pep Ribal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the interest, Thiago. Of course all help is welcome, and I'm sure I can learn from your Linux experience.

The only condition from my part is that it should be free softare (GPL license). Cheers. Pep. Thiago Drechsel escribió: Hi Pep.
