[Flightgear-devel] schedule tiles bug
Hi all, Latest cvs OSG/SG/FG. I don't know if anybody else has reported this, as I cannot remember having seen it, but since about the time when sea tiles went missing (which are now fixed), I have seen this pop up in the console occasionally: Attempting to schedule tiles for bogus lon and lat = (-1000,0) Attempting to schedule tiles for bogus lon and lat = (-1000,0) This happens anytime, any aircraft, whether over land/sea - and I cannot find what causes it. Nothing _appears_ to cause concern when this occurs, though.

[Flightgear-devel] The flight of the Dragonfly
Or sub-titled "Always look where you are going" Hi all, A little thing I have done based Anders stuff sorting out the jpg-httpd server: http://www.nick.ukfsn.org/fg/fgcam/dragonfly.avi (3.17MB). It is a bit choppy, and also a bit grainy as I used a low bit rate for conversion, but it still looks good. The simple bash script with basic instructions can be found in the same directory: http://www.nick.ukfsn.org/fg/fgcam/ Note: You need to compile simgear with the jpg-factory option to enable a FG jpg-httpd server.

Yes - a real good way around this is to increase fog until you get a
reasonable fps ('shift z' [Z] to increase fog, 'z' to decrease fog).
The scenery is excellent, but it does labour the machine somewhat.

Yes, although looking at the this, I don't think the GUI is at fault.
I think, the issue is Texture Resolution, not file cache. When you start FG,
Texture resolution is set to 0 (even though the drop down box only allows 64|
128|256). I cannot see where this is set to 64|128|256 anywhere.
What happens is in simgear/scene/sky/cloudfield.cxx there is a calculation
done and as texture resolution is 0, there is a divide by 0 issue (why it
doesn't crash I don't know. This only happens when you first have started FG
and never/ever set the Texture resolution up before - as then, it gets set in
autosave.xml.
Here is a quick fix in Simgear code:
simgear/scene/sky/cloudfield.cxx (line 84):
void SGCloudField::set_CacheResolution(int resolutionPixels) {
+if (resolutionPixels < 64)
+resolutionPixels = 64;
if(cacheResolution == resolutionPixels)
return;
cacheResolution = resolutionPixels;
if(enable3D) {
int count = last_cache_size * 1024 / (cacheResolution *
cacheResolution * 4);
if(count == 0)
count = 1;
SGNewCloud::cldCache->setCacheSize(count, cacheResolution);
}
}

I do not see any issues graphically - in fact, cloud layer etc. is better as it all works faster. But, having said all this, I am on a 6 year old Athlon1.2GHz via aBit MoBo - so perhaps to a newer, modern machine this all doesn't matter as it is all rendered faster anyway.

[Flightgear-devel] Flightgear building thread.
Hi All, I decided to start a new clean thread here, so people can find what they need to build FG to perform. As we know, using the CMAKE command: cmake -i . produces a question/answer type script so you can build as a 'Release' and configure any optimisations to suit. Using: ./configure CXXFLAGS= -O3 ... will build Simgear/FG with similar optimisations. Today I tested again OSG, and there are two options that made me wonder - so I turned ON to use a float matrix rather than double: //Set to ON to build OpenSceneGraph with float matrix instead of // double. OSG_USE_FLOAT_MATRIX:BOOL=ON //Set to ON to build OpenSceneGraph with float matrix instead of // double. OSG_USE_FLOAT_PLANE:BOOL=ON Oh my!!! Again a huge increase in performance on my lowly 1.2GHz machine. For the first time ever I saw 60fps+ today... three weeks ago I was lucky to see > 35fps. This gets better and better...

If you read the questions when using 'cmake -i .' one of them is what type of build to do: ...Debug | Release ... etc. Default is NONE. So you set that to 'Release'. Then later there is a question about what CXX flags the compiler should use when making a 'Release' build. Default is already '-O3 -DNDEBUG'.I just changed this to '-O3 -march-tbird-athlon' to suit my machine. That's it!

I was a bit confused with this - I couldn't work out what 'the configuration' screen was, nor meant. But I sussed out CMAKE now, so for anybody else with problems. Once you have a fresh checkout, in the trunk directory (top layer of code) to build the CMAKE files, issue: cmake -i . CMAKE will now run through a lot of question and shows current values, so you can change it all to suit... very handy. Any time you need to change the build, just run the 'cmake -i .' command again (after a make clean, of course). I am now going to build an optimised OSG and try again (after my 5 fps version made me move back to PLIB).

Not blowing my own trumpet, and I do not want to, but a mention for the people that run the MP servers would be good too. This will also do double duty in notifying readers of the servers available (if anybody apart from devs read these sort of things).

I solved the issue (so I can at least use FG/OSG again) by using the last OSG CVS version (not SVN): OpenSceneGraph Library 1.2 But I had to remove the call: camera->setAllowEventFocus(false); in redout.cxx and splash.cxx to get it to build. I am surprised nobody using CVS/SVN FG/SG/OSG reports this issue (or replied to this) - there was a lot of chatter about it in IRC.

[Flightgear-devel] Latest OT/OSG/SG/FG unusable
Hi all, There seems to be an issue, reported by a few in IRC. Latest build from SVN/CVS makes FG unusable. Frame rates are (for me) at least 60% worse. E.g. pc7 at FHAW - before 43 - today after updates, 18. Lightning at KSFO - before 19 - today after updates 6 (unusable).

[Flightgear-devel] fg-server updates!
Hi all, First, now I have a new ADSL connection with a LOT faster speed, I have revamped my server 'status' pages. This also contains the actual 'server status' report too now, so the old URL will be retired soon. Please let me know if it loads too slow to be unusable: http://mpserver05.flightgear.org/fgmp/ Second, there has been a fantastic new patch to the fg_server code - and another important fix followed shortly after. As this is not my trumpet to blow, I will let the author[s] announce, but I feel this is a great step forward for FGMP.

At least this would let the user know about the echo problem. It isn't a client issue, but a mpserver issue; if an mpserver has a defunct relay line to a server that is not resolvable, then this 'loopback' doubling up of client data happens. I don't know why.

This is what I said in IRC - we need a 'master' list of current mpservers so that all server 'runners' can keep the relays current and up-to-date. At the moment this only happens when somebody notices an error - or as I did last week when I saw that mpserver01 had dropped my server from the relay, so mpserver05 wasn't showing mpserver01 pilots.

[Flightgear-devel] [PATCH] Fix Eisenhower TACAN freq.
Hi all, After my attempted other patch, for love nor money I could not work out why TACAN failed with the U.S.S. Eisenhower (030Y, freq. 10935)... ...there is a typo (?) in the data/Navaids/ carrier_nav.dat.gz file. I do not know how to do diff against a gzipped file, so here it is manually: 12 999999 100 10925 0.000 NMZ USS Nimitz TACAN 12 999999 100 10925 0.000 ESN USS Eisenhower TACAN should be, of course: 12 999999 100 10925 0.000 NMZ USS Nimitz TACAN 12 999999 100 10935 0.000 ESN USS Eisenhower TACAN This all works good now too :-) Nick - Take Surveys.

[Flightgear-devel] [PATCH] Fix up tacan.cxx (OSG)
Hi all,
OSG only (I can't test on PLIB)
The issue that Csaba found which was causing my TACAN not to work was due to
mobile_valid never being set to FALSE once it got set to TRUE. The AI TACAN
then never updated again as 'if (!_mobile_valid)' was never ever met.
Looking at the code, I also see that if a carrier exists, then _mobile_valid
get set TRUE, so you can't have a tanker also.
The attached patch is my attempted fix up. _mobile_valid gets set to false
only if no valid TACAN freq is selected. If a valid freq. is selected, then
carrier, AI Tanker and MP Tankers are checked if they exist (number > 0) and
only then checked for the corresponding freq, and updated as normal.
This means you can have one carrier, one AI Tanker and one MP Tanker TACAN
all at once, and switch between them using the correct frequency.
I hope that makes sense.
Nick

Then start at KSFO, use TACAN to locate the tanker (040X)... and fly in formation! http://www.nick.ukfsn.org/fg/lightning/lightning_refuel3.jpg Nick The following scenario puts an aerial tanker in orbit over KSFO at 3000 ft AGL. The tanker uses the 737 model, but you can use any model (a KC-135 model can be found at: http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/hangar/hangar.html). The center of the orbit is actually west of KSFO, and the eastern edge of the orbit passes over the airport. Note that AI aircraft do not react to wind, therefore your speed and bank angle will have to vary along the orbit since your "user" aircraft *does* react to the wind. I recommend using the T-38 as your airplane for four reasons: (1) it has a radar screen which may be needed to find the tanker; (2) it has the speed to catch the tanker; (3) it uses a JSBSim FDM, which means it can onload fuel; (4) it has a green light added to the instrument panel, between the fuel gauges, which comes on when you are in the refueling envelope. Right now the air refueling envelope is very loose, and I plan on tightening it up in the future. Currently no aerodynamic effects of refueling are modeled (i.e downwash, bow wave, vortices). Dave Culp, davidculp2 at comcast.net Lightning refueling demo (lightning_demo.xml). I have extended the above basic demo from David, and added in four AI Lightning aircraft flying in formation; this adds to and causes you to concentrate more on refueling or just to practice your skill at flying in a (sort of) formation. Primarily it is designed for the use with the English Electric Lightning aircraft, but you can use any aircraft you wish, of course. It does take extra CPU/GPU power, so if four aircraft are too much for your system, you can out the aircraft as required.

[Flightgear-devel] New [lightning] refueling demo
Hi all, I have set up a new refueling demo, makes it a bit more interesting: http://www.nick.ukfsn.org/fg/lightning/lightning_refuel1.jpg http://www.nick.ukfsn.org/fg/lightning/lightning_refuel2.jpg I will tidy up the demo and submit if anybody is interested in this.

Yes, I 'discovered' this after trying/getting TACAN to work - I didn't know where it was assigned though, so thanks for this information. So, seeing as Csaba is now off on holiday, here is the bug and fix he found. The bug arises if you do not have carrier demo running (exactly my case). The [dirty] fix - in tacan.cxx around line 284: // reset search time _time_before_search_sec = 1.0; +_mobile_valid = false; I also see this was once *fixed*, but removed again for some reason: http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/FlightGear/src/Instrumentation/tacan.cxx?r1=1.20&r2=1.21 I can say that all works perfectly now with this line added to tacan.cxx Nick - Take Surveys.

OK, Csaba found the bug I was seeing, and he fixed it, so no doubt a fix is on the way soon - I am so pleased, I thought I was going mad. Thanks Csaba!!! As to the refueling_demo.xml. I think this should stay, as it can be used for you own tanker scenerio. I was testing over FHAW (Ascention Island) and tweaked the file so that it used TACAN also: ESSO1 040X aircraft tanker Models/Geometry/KC135/KC135.xml -7.974748 -14.382520 3000 020 280 -15 It is very handy to have around.

But if I add in the TACAN (ESSO1 and the TACAN-id) to that demo I can see it in prop browser. Just doing a demo_2 as Csaba says works, I can follow the TACAN if I turn it on when at 8000' (getting out of all the noise?), and sure enough locate the tanker. But then dropping off, and turning south, the needle then goes all off, and in fact ands up pointing to KSFO - I can then follow that all the way back to airport. Something is up here.

OK, I know people think I am seeing things, but I just sussed out what is going on. How many people *actually* tested the TACAN and located the tanker aircraft with it, rather than just sit in the cockpit and see the needle/gauges work? Here is what happens for me. The TACAN works, but it doesn't locate the aircraft (tanker) - the dial just seems to swing around in a circle depending what direction I fly in. Test flying around KSFO it actually is locked on to a TACAN at KSFO! So the dial is always it pointing to KSFO (and obviously as I follow the TACAN needle thinking I was tracking the tanker, as soon as I flew over KSFO the needle done a swift 180deg turn). I replicated this is the Seahawk too. As first I thought it was saying the tanker hadn't yet taken off, but the actual aircraft is flying and I can refuel once I locate it. Nick - Take Surveys.

Do they have any > purpose? OK, I still have issues with the Lightning TACAN. I was getting angry in IRC last night, as NOBODY ever sees the issues I do. Now, to recap. To get 'refueling_demo' to work (not refueling_demo_1/_2), I had to out the demo in preferences.xml, and in lightning-set.xml change the line to read from: refueling_demo_1 to: refueling_demo All well and good. I now have a tanker circling over KSFO, and I can refuel with it! BUT the TACAN green needle always points in the vertical direction. Looking at the property browser, instrumentation/tacan/in-range is always false. Plus the AI aircraft has no TACAN channel-id? So, looking at the data/AI/refueling_demo.xml, I see it doesn't have a channel-id? But adding a channel-id still didn't work... but then changing call-sign from 'ESSO 2' to 'ESSO1' did! - ESSO 2 + ESSO1 + 040X Now in this scenerio the green needle works, although I am still not sure what it is telling me... that is another issue, I think.

By my reckoning, if a throttle is OFF, then it is OFF, and not 0.15 ON.

[Flightgear-devel] Possibly joystick bug condition
Hi all, Helping Vivian today on the Spitfire model, the gear warning (stall) klaxon wasn't working for me [again] although Vivian had fixed the previous issue why it failed sometimes. After investigation, it turns out one of the conditions required for the stall warning to go off is: controls/engines/engine/throttle 0 It turns out I calibrated my JS using JSCAL, and the throttle axis ran from -32766 <-> 32767. Thus, when my throttle was off, FG actually reports it as (similar): 1.598490389232043e -5 so it isn't '0', and therefore klaxon criteria wasn't met. Hand 'tweaking' my jscal file, I have now got my JS to report -32767 <-> 32767 on all axis, and now FG does show throttle to be 1 <-> 0 at the ends of the range. So, how accurate does the throttle need to be? Surely not 1.5e -5? Nick - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Yes, that makes sense indeed - and in IRC yesterday and with the help of Melchior, we found the solution. For some reason, although when I plug in my JS it all reads 'spot on' it really isn't. Running jscal and calibrating the JS then makes it all work perfectly in js_demo and FG. So perhaps as nothing has used the JS when I plug it in, it doesn't show up as being out of calibration. I also stated that it doesn't affect FG - well, I lied :-) It did do and I didn't notice. I was always fighting the JS a little in keeping the aircraft straight/level etc., but now it is not so imposing and I can fly better with less effect! Also, by using the -p option of jscal, it produces commandline data that can be read back with the -s option, so all I need do is run that little script at startx (or when I plug my JS in) for it to be sorted. So resolved! Thanks for interest and help.

OK, this isn't FG xml issue. js_demo reports correct (-1.0 <-> 1.0 etc.) But as soon as I either start js_demo or fgfs, when I check joystick in KDE or use the jstest utilty, X Y Z at rest are set to '337'. So something recalibrates the stick to that. This is what I meant about the deadband stuff from plib: plib-1.8.4/src/js/jsLinux.cxx [sic] // Remove any deadband value already done in the kernel. // Since we have our own deadband management this is save to do so. So I am wondered if kernel sets up the joystick correctly - then plib decides the deadband is wrong and changes/removes it somewhat. I don't know.

What causes the X Y Z axes to recalibrate to '337' after runing fgfs or js_demo on an otherwise OK joystick X Y Z of '0'? Why 337? I am stumped. Nick - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] Joystick issue - peculiar
Hi all, This is _not_ a bug report, nor perhaps FG specific, but rather a discussion of a joystick issue I see - now I have seen this, it is like when you get a little stone in your shoe, but no matter how much you look, you can't find the bugger - but because you know it's there, you can't stop thinking about it :-D Plug in my USB Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick: Mar 10 13:03:46 linuxamd kernel: input: Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick as /class/input/input9 Mar 10 13:03:46 linuxamd kernel: input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [Microsoft SideWinder Precision 2 Joystick] on usb-:00:07.3-2 Now, at this stage KDE joystick app reports everything is OK. All axes, buttons etc. are 100% accurate. Running jstest also reports the same. Now, either running fgfs or js_demo, the joystick works great. But after running either of these two apps, three joystick axes are now 'recalibrated': X, Y and Z axes at 'rest' are all set to 337 *exactly*. Running jstest also now reports X Y Z to be at 337: Axes: 0: 337 1: 337 2: 337 If I now unplug the joystick, and plug it in again, then ALL axes and controls are all perfect again (i.e. X Y Z at rest are 0). It was suggested maybe a hardware issue, but I don't think so as just X Y Z axes are set exactly to 337 after running FG. Reading plib code, I see that the kernel deadband zone is written out as plib uses it's own - could this cause this strange issue? BTW, it doesn't affect FG in anyway - '337' off 0 on a 65535 scale is unnoticeable in real life. Nick - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] [BUG] Spitfire throttle boost gauge fails (with fix)
Hi all,
Flying the Spitfire, if you get airborne and then drop the throttle to zero,
the gear warning alarm klaxon sounds. Hitting 'k' or 'K' to turn this off
then produces:
Nasal runtime error: non-objects have no members
at /usr/share/FlightGear/data/Aircraft/Spitfire/Models/spitfire.nas, line 76
>From now on the throttle boost gauge will not work.
The reason is in spitifre.nas, line 46 a global var:
throttle = props.globals.getNode("/controls/engines/engine/throttle", 1);
later in spitfire.nas in the 'resetWarn = func{ }' is this, line 493:
throttle = getprop("controls/engines/engine/throttle");
so here the second assignment stomps on the first. I guess renaming
the 'throttle' var in this func to something else fixes this, but also it can
be declared in the func as a local var:
var throttle = getprop("controls/engines/engine/throttle");
to fix it.
I noticed this ages ago and fixed it, then forgot all about it - it was only
after a fresh cvs update of the spirfire did I remember as I got the bug back
again.

[Flightgear-devel] Scenery download map 'alt' tags
Hi all, Not a nitpick, but rather a request. On the scenery map here: http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/scenery-0.9.10.html after looking at the page source, I see the 'alt' tag is used to show the file sizes - good idea! Except the 'alt' tag is not designed to produce a 'popup' text box, it is designed to show text in lieu of an image on non graphical browsers or devices that cannot see images. Needless to say, Konqueror web browser using latest KDE 3.5.6 does not show them (it shouldn't!)- and I think it is very good to be able to see the file size before downloading. What really should be used is the 'title' tag. The 'title' tag will over-ride the 'alt' tag if used. It would be nice if scenery map page could be changed so that the 'title' popup will work on all browsers :-) Nick - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

I have an old system, so maybe newer, faster systems cope with this; but having said that, the 'get near other aircraft freeze' I could only see/get also too, but Maik and Mathias found that bug and fixed it. So maybe this is similar. I will just not have to crash the aircraft nose first ;-) Nick - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] Another scerenio where FG labours (freeze type of thing)
Hi all, Similar to the issue I reported (a few weeks ago) of the 'freezes' when near other aircraft (which Mathias fixed), here is another similar one. My build is osg cvs (updated the weekend) using --enable-sdl. If a prop driven aircraft crashes nose down so the rotating prop gets embedded into the ground, FG will 'freeze' and stutter along at 1fps or worse. It takes ages to gets the menu to react to be allowed to reset (in fact, my mouse disappears a lot during this time). One easy way to replicate this is to use the Spitfire on the runway - ensure brake lock is on, and open up the throttle - the aircraft will tip over nose first, and FG will then show the above problem.

I believe, looking at my traces, this function in
OpenSceneGraph/src/osg/StateSet.cpp is where it happens. Why/how/what I
haven't a clue.
void StateSet::setTextureAttributeAndModes(unsigned int unit,StateAttribute
*attribute, StateAttribute::GLModeValue value)
{
if (attribute)
{
if (attribute->isTextureAttribute())
{
if (value&StateAttribute::INHERIT)
{
removeTextureAttribute(unit,attribute->getType());
}
else

Hi Fred,
Reports from IRC say this is fixed in plib, but I can still get a 100%
reliable crash with OSG build.
Enter MP server using Harrier. Get someone to join/leave/join with the dhc2F.
Immediate segfault on the second join.
Below is my earlier mail with trace etc.

Here is my gdb output. I can get this crash everytime with the
join/leave/join scenerio.
Join with the harrier and sit on the deck. get someone (Maik here) to join
with the dhc2. Fly a little (just take off will do). Get Maik leave the
server, and rejoin -> *crash* for me.
Interesting thing is, you do not see Maik leave the server - but re 'joins
twice' even though he has left.
(gdb) list produces nonsense, but I include it at the end anyway.

Tut...
y = (unsigned int) viewport->height() - y;

[Flightgear-devel] Fix a few GCC warnings (i.e Shut UP GCC).
Hi All,
I get a few warnings when building fgfs (gcc-3.4.6), all to do with int
conversion:
FGInitialCondition.cpp:806: warning: converting to `int' from `double'
806: n = document->FindElementValueAsNumber("running");
fix:
n = (int)document->FindElementValueAsNumber("running");
FGInput.cpp:209: warning: converting to `unsigned int' from `double'
209: port = element->GetAttributeValueAsNumber("port");
fix:
port = (unsigned int)element->GetAttributeValueAsNumber("port");
renderer.cxx:1021: warning: converting to `unsigned int' from `double'
1021: y = viewport->height() - y;
fix:
y = (int)viewport->height() - y;
AIMultiplayer.cxx:280: warning: converting to `int' from `double'
ival = (int) (1-tau)*((double) (*prevPropIt)->int_value) +
280:tau*((double) (*nextPropIt)->int_value);
fix - the whole line needs to cast to int so enclose in ( ):
ival = (int) ((1-tau)*((double) (*prevPropIt)->int_value) +
tau*((double) (*nextPropIt)->int_value));
The last one needs looking at closely - it seems the original code cast (int)
(1-tau) only. I think
One I cannot work out, as I don't know what the code does here:
Rotor.cpp: In member function `void yasim::Rotor::setParameter(char*, float)':
Rotor.cpp:600: warning: converting to `int' from `float'
Rotor.cpp:601: warning: converting to `int' from `float'
600:p(number_of_segments,1)
601:p(number_of_parts,1)
I haven't done a proper diff patch, as these all need looking at by somebody
that knows what they are doing ;-)

I have seen ideas around where an image of a 'thing' is shown, and the user has to type in it's name; thus a picture of a cat, dog, car, house etc. The algorithm for a computer to do that is nigh on impossible, but a human can compute the image instantly. How doable it is for a forum registration, I don't know. Nick - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Flightgear-devel] Harrier RADAR graphic
Hi all, With Shavlirs' approval, I have been looking to improve the Harriers RADAR scope/grid to make it more semi-real. I have reduced the grid line thickness, and darkened them somewhat - the detected image dot is reduced in size (no more big blob) and remains brighter over the grid. The files are here http://www.nick.ukfsn.org/fg/harrier/ that replace the ones in /data/Aircraft/harrier/Panel/radar/ for anybody that flies this aircraft please could you tell me what you think/advice etc. This is like a beta release to see if all monitor resolutions etc. are happy.

[Flightgear-devel] Turn HUD off in 'outside' views
Hi all,
On the wiki is a small piece of NASAL that turns off the HUD if an outside
view is switched to (see /Aircraft/harrier/Panel/Hud/hud.nas for an example
in real use). The problem with this is that if the pilot has HUD turned off
anyway, when the view changes back to cockpit the HUD is turned back on
again.
Thanks to a little help in IRC, I adapted the idea to change alpha to turn HUD
off thus:
# turn off hud in external views
setlistener("/sim/current-view/view-number", func {
color = 0.7;
if (getprop("/sim/current-view/view-number") != 0) {
color = 0.0;
}
setprop("/sim[0]/hud/color/alpha", color)
},1);
OK, all well and good unless you change the HUD alpha manually - this will now
always reset to [default] 0.7 when you change views and return to cockpit.
So, I think the better and proper fix is to have a new prop that is either
true or false to show HUD in other views.
Alas, I am not a C++ coder... and trying to understand the code is terribly
hard.
So, this is a 'wish' if it is possible.
Thanks,
Nick

No joy. BUT, it happened again tonight, same place, same location, and what appears to be same 'angles'.
