Hello all...
I saw the message about mpserver07 last week, so I checked on it and found that
fgms wasn't running. I have no idea why it wasn't, as uptime showed the
machine to be online for over 181 days. Surely someone would have noticed
before now, if mpserver07 hadn't been working for 6
Hi all,
In case someone may have noticed, mpserver07 is down. We lost one of our cable
modems, and the ISP cannot get someone out here until tomorrow.
When we went with a static IP address in 2010, the ISP gave us an additional
modem unit. Now we have two running, and apparently one of them
Hello all...
With all the talk about FG audio here recently, it reminded me that I haven't
yet gotten around to something I've wanted to do for some time--record some new
audio files. I have access to a Piper Aztec, a light twin-engined aircraft.
It's engines are six-cylinder Lycoming
Don't kid yourself about MSFS going away anytime soon...
For the past couple years, MS has been flooding the market with their
commercial-level ESP development environment, for high-end users and
developers. They have been pushing commercial licensing with a new
front-end SDK into (what I am
Interesting post by John Denker...
While I have no real comment about the Airbus issue (other than to say
that is was a great job of piloting a stricken aircraft), I can comment
on the status of a project to get Flight Gear FAA-certified.
As several of you may know, four of us are working on a
In reading the recent postings, I see there's some confusion regarding
glide slope angle vs. glide slope *arc*. While the angle of the GS is
typically 3 degrees above the horizon (may vary for terrain, as
mentioned previously), the arc that the GS swings tends to be 1.4
degrees, according to the
I found some of my notes regarding the changes I made to the c172p.xml
and c172p-set.xml files back in 2007. The changes that seemed to work
the best for me are in the -set.xml file:
1) Change the aileron-trim value from the default 0.027 to a value
between 0.030 and 0.032.
2) Change the
I have taken a bit of time to test the CVS Cessna 172P, and have made a
few observations. The observations were made flying v1.0.0 on Windows
XP, but with last week's CVS aircraft. I do not have FG compiled on
Windows, and my Linux machine doesn't have nearly the performance as my
Windows
Flying the 172P in v1.0.0, I see that it has changed from what I
remember in v0.9.10. I haven't flown the older version in a while, but I
don't recall some of the things that I am now seeing. So I will have to
recompile the latest CVS version on my linux machine tonight, and try it
there. But I
I agree with what Jon has said--the pitch angle with the aircraft on the
ground should be 5 degrees. If this is modeled, I don't think there's
any other significant issue.
With regards to the pitch angle at cruise, I simply cannot see how you'd
ever model that exactly. First of all, it is
In aviation maintenance, level is flat.
When you weigh an aircraft to determine empty CG, for instance, it is
placed on jacks and leveled--both along the X-axis and along the Y-axis
as well. However when an aircraft such as the 172 is sitting (empty) on
a ramp, the pitch attitude is determined
I have several hundred hours (if not 1000) in a Cessna 172 as both the
PIC and an instructor, and believe that the flight dynamics are pretty
good in the 172S model. Having said that, I will admit that I have only
flown the emulation with a joystick--but recently we have developed a
driver for
as a physician, so sometimes my schedule can be a bit
hectic. But as our Wisconsin weather warms over the next couple of months,
there is no reason that I can't get several new audio samples.
