Re: [Flightgear-devel] Real-Time Radio Propagation, Was: Sqlite location
I'm not a developer here, I just maintain one of the mirror sites. I would like to comment here a bit. Over the years I've seen several folks who contributed lots to the project leave after disputes over one thing or another. I'd hate to see this lead to something like that! I personally agree with these points, and the final one in particular: snip Please consider that having realistic radio navigation according to terrain would be as far as I know a unique feature for any flightsimulator I've seen. To refuse to add such a realism enhancing feature would be quite illogic to snip I know you are a pilot, fellow amateur radio operator and one of the leaders of the project. So please don't say that you would refuse a realism increasing option, which would not even have to be on by default, and which is not present in any other flightsim that I know of. It would be illogic, and would limit the options of using Flightgear in other environments, like research projects, university, aeronautical radio. It would also make a discouraging statement vs. contributing to Flightgear. snip My suggestion is to include this feature, leave it off, and let anyone interested turn it on.

[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear Display Location question
I have installed FlightGear on a Dell laptop which is connected to a second monitor. When FlightGegear is started the cockpit display comes up on the (smaller) laptop screen. Is there a way to get it to appear on the (larger) external screen instead? jj http://kingmont.com-- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

[Flightgear-devel] PLUG IN for glass cockpit displays
I've been using the project magenta glass cockpit displays in my simulator here for some time They at one time needed the Microsoft flight simulator in order to operate. I recently discovered a plugin that allows them to now operate with the x-plane simulator. I've long hoped that there would be a way to use those displays with FlightGear, and wonder if anyone has any ideas as to how that could be accomplished. Here is a link to the plugin page if you are interested in pursuing this http://www.tosi-online.de jj http://kingmont.com -- Nokia and ATT present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
Re: [Flightgear-devel] Installed, doesn't run.
My install of flightgear ran fine once the non-free nvidia drivers got installed (which was VERY EASY with Ubuntu. and which proved to be V E R Y difficult with both Debian and fedora). In fact I've just spent the entire day at an install fest put on by a local Linux users group, and we never did get them installed in either of those systems !!! We finally gave up up frustration!

[Flightgear-devel] drivers
I have purchased a new Dell laptop which has an ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3670 vido card installed. I've placed FEDORA 11 (32 bit) on it and downloaded Flightgear which fails to run. (I also tried the Fedora 11, 64 bit version with the same result) Problem is that the drivers that I have do not support hardware accel. I've downloaded what I think is the correct driver installation package from ATI, but after installing it I lost the video display! (What I have is ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run .) I uninstalled it (with some difficulty) and now have the display back, but (of course) Flightgear still is inop. Has anyone had any luck in getting this card to work?
