Re: [Flightgear-devel] Mipmapping of liveries

I didn't removed them, but converted them to dds with a bash script: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Fr/convertir_un_avion_en_dds About FG and dds texture, could it be possible to propose a dds version of our planes in an official manner, or do i need to make a paralel hangar, with hidden advertisings? I'm fine with fgdata having png/rgb textures, as they are lossless and easy to work on, and a non dds version is still needed for who don't want to use dds (for patent issues, or other reasons). If you want to try a dds version, to make an opinion, i've converted some here: http://janodesbois.free.fr/flightgear/dds_planes_2.12/ you will need the Generic folder, and you can add the Instrument and Instrument-3d, to have full dds planes. my concern is not to force dds use, but to allow a better mp experience (try to change livery for example, in external view). jano -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.

Hi the quiet mailing list :) here are some questions about the fdm properties : - How come some fdm properties don't have the same meaning, dépending the fdm used? i'm thinking of properties in the following property trees: /accelerations /orientation /velocities /position if you want some examples, you can have a look at the bug reports 202: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=202 and 901: http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=901 those are properties i needed to use and found buggy, but they could not be the only one affected. - is there anybody among the dev interested in this area of FG anymore? despite the bug report and the solution proposed, nothing change, except the need to have external patch to have this right. - would it be a good idea to document those properties somewhere? if so i can make a list, but i would let the description to english native users. imho, this make FG broken in some area (like hud trajectory marker with jsbsim for the sideslip, or the reported speed in radar2 for yasim planes) but the only comments i got in the bug reports were what will it break to put it right. jano -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite It's a free troubleshooting tool designed for production Get down to code-level detail for bottlenecks, with 2% overhead.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] multiplay refuel test
hi Geoff , And I understand some screen shots were posted on the PAF forum, but still to find these... a link would help... http://equipe-flightgear.forumactif.com/t1096p15-vol-en-formation-avec-un-fg-patche#20638 Oh, and I always use mpserver14.flightgear.org, Switzerland, and perhaps attempts while using the SAME fgms server may be better... yep, that's the rule we are following during our formation flight: to be on the same mpserver. Being on different servers give more jitter and lag, and there's no way to compensate for the inter-server lag now, as we have no information about them. http://wiki.flightgear.org/Mp-patch Have downloaded and am looking at your wiki lag patches with an aim to patch my 2.11... in Windows 7 and Ubuntu... but not sure how far I will get... good luck :) , for your information, a patched 2.11 windows binary is available and updated once a week, if you can't compile it yourself, see detail on the wiki. It would certainly be nice if both pilots saw the same scene ;=)) But this is not the ONLY problem... basically the mp sending rate is fine with 10 pps Well yes if the packets flow, but many things do seem to interrupt that flow... One of the biggest is F3 - take a screen shot - This seems to stop packets for a seconds or more... i never use F3 for screenshots, as it freeze fg , instead i use the os printshot feature, much better and harmless (and it has the antialiasing from the gpu) Loading a new scenery tile can be another... new weather metar, although in the victor I usually select simple Fair weather... but there seems to be a number of things that 'change' the packet flow... I even suspect mp chat causes small blips... those are not change in paquet flow, but 'freeze' in FG itself, when some frame take time to render, being stuck on a model loading, or a metar change, or a F3 etc To avoid mipmap generation hang, I use dds texture for all the planes in my aircraft folder (with a script), the mipmap are not generated on the fly and the loading is faster (taking less space in ram too). that's why in the paf hangar we are providing both a .png and a .dds version of the planes. So the aircraft pilot sees the tanker quickly move away... accelerate and moves forward... quite un-nerving... And this can happen even without a heavy F3 event... perhaps even due to system thread changes, ie nothing to do with the running fgfs... we call this the rubber band phenomen :D, mainly caused by jitter, and worse if we are not on the same server. So I must take another look at this fill-in code, and would like to hear from the person or persons who implemented it... and understand why the very apparent slide fast forward, and what controls how quickly the position returns to that of the current packets after such an artificial change... any README, links, etc... the current code in AIMultiplayer.cxx got a prediction system, but try to nether use it. this is done to have only an interpolation between two packets to do. so we display the mp plane at least one packet late to have a margin. And then there is how will your 'lag' correction effect this current extrapolation code? If at all... I reused the existing code, with some modifications wich are: - very slow response to jitter: the rubber band phenomen is just a little noticeable, seen as a speed variation of the followed plane. - i'm sending and using planes's accelerations (only for yasim and jsbsim yet), so the position is predicted using position, speed and acceleration with a basic equation. If some are interested i can detail a little more this on the wiki page. if you are using the patch, be aware that non patched yasim planes transmit a velocity in airmass instead of ecef, so they are very shaky if displayed in the futur with some wind. Maybe later try an E-W run, since you do mention some differences depending on direction... this is an effect of the patch with jsbsim aircraft, i needed to find an acceleration suitable, so i added one in jsbsim, but aparently this is not perfect yet, but at 10 pps, it nearly unnoticeable. I guess this should be a jsbsim expert job :) jano -- Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.

Le 24/02/2013 23:44, Stuart Buchanan a écrit :
Hi All,
I've just committed some small changes to the AI air-to-air refueling
function:
1) Added support for multiple tankers of each type, selectable through
the AI-Tankers GUI. Tankers are now defined in AI/tankers.xml.
2) Added an A-4F buddy tanker.
3) Enhanced the UI to allow the user to set the speed of the tanker,
and the radius at which contact is made. Note that this is based on
the origin of tanker and user. As a future enhancement I want to add
offsets to indicate the position of the refuelling probe/receiver
on the user aircraft, and the location of the boom/drogue on the tanker.
4) Added a user-toggled function to display messages when contact i
made or lost. Some aircraft
don't seem to have any obvious cockpit indicator that refuelling is in
progress, and we don't currently animate the probe being in the drogue
:)
5) Added maximum fuel flow definitions to both the tanker and
receiver. While the KC-135 supports
flow of 6000 lbs/min, smaller tankers (such as the A4-F buddy tanker)
only provided ~1300 lbs/min. the actual fuel flow is taken as the
minimum of the two.
Note that the maximum fuel flow affects both AI and MP tankers. I've
been unable to test with the latter, but have set a default to ensure
backwards compatibility.
Feedback welcome as always.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Goals for the 3.0 release
- AI Tanker enhancements to allow users to select from a range of tanker models. This is particularly relevant for naval probe-equipped aircraft, where there is a much greater variety of tanker types. Could we also tighten the envelope in which we receive fuel? I did AAR with the F-16 yesterday, and my tanks were basically full by the time I had reached the actual refueling position... I started getting contact ~50 m away from the tanker ?! I was already planning to make the refuelling point configured on a per-tanker basis, as obviously different aircraft have different (sometimes multiple) refuelling positions. It sounds like it would be worth having a slide to allow the user to configure how large the envelope is as well. a slider seems good to me, as the code is used for the mp tanker too, and i think the box was done this size to allow mp refueling with some jitter effects. jano -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.

Both of these are expressed in the pilot/body frame of reference. The
accelerometer values include gravity. I've used these to drive a 15 state
kalman filter and observe good attitude estimate convergence for both yasim
and jsbsim aircraft.
Right - but I think exposing the values without gravity added in is useful,
and the for the internal (C++) value, the Yasim one doesn't include gravity,
so neither should then JSBsim value (both FDMs compute both variants
already!). Then we could start exposing linear accelerations over MP (or a
future MP system) and make the prediction better. (And obviously that
prediction won't want to include gravitational terms)

hi, my two cents, as someone interested in better formation flight.
First, about using FGAccelerations::GetUVWdot as acceleration, i'm not
sure you will have what you want. i'm trying to do (slowly) something
about the lag ( http://wiki.flightgear.org/Mp-patch ), and i tried to
use UVWdot, but seems to me it give the dérivative of the speed in the
aircraft reference, not the acceleration in ECEF, expressed in body
coordinate.
if the speed vector is stable/aircraft, UVWdot will be 0, but the the
body acceleration can be huge in inertial referential. (that's how i
understand the effect i see, and the UVWdot props variation in constant
g turns, i didn't went to understand the jsbsim code ;)
second, could it be possible to have a look at other fdm properties wich
are inconsistent between yasim and jsbsim ?
i think of velocity_wind_body (maybe a velocity_body is needed) (bug 202)
and bug 901 (orientation/side-slip-deg)

No Vivian,
Curt suggested that carriers do a terrain height check and follow the

Not knowing if there was something in place to maintain sync with

I'm not quite sure what you want here. Would I be correct in saying that you want to be able to switch the tanker status on and off over MP? If so - I think that is a good idea, and one that was intended from the outset, but never got implemented. (I cant remember why - I think it just got lost). I want two things: permit a working refueling with whatever callsign you want, even if the tacan can only be used with MOBIL callsigns, and the second is to be able to switch the tanker on/off status while flying, eg if your drogue is not deployed (got the victor ready for this), or if you are low in fuel (for the day the tanker fuel content will be impacted by the refueling). Another concern is that in case we are using a refueling pod, a lots of planes can be used as casual tankers. If so I'll get on the case. if so many thanks.

On the other hand if the callsign includes MOBIL, it is recognized as a tanker on MP. The property 'isTanker' is not transmitted by default over the net and is not handled on receipt. It is set to 'false' for all mp aircraft, and is only set to true if the callsign contains MOBIL is the first part. The tanker property is used in aar.nas to determine if refueling takes place. Hmm ... this one needs a bit more investigation ... mainly to remind myself what I did in the first place :-). you're right, and thinks are now more clear to me. in fact the change in the tanker property is taken in account by aar.nas, so exporting it by mp will work. I just wanted not to be forced to use a MOBIL callsign to do refueling by mp, this function should be enabled only by the tanker property. jano -- Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.

having the multiplay/tanker set.
here's a proposal that permit to use any callsign (yes i know in this
case the tanker will not have a tacan working), and any plane, for
exemple the tanker pilot can cut the probe/drogue alimentation, or with
adding a refueling pod any plane can become a tanker
if a c++ guru can have a look and commit (any comment welcome, my c++

In case of formation flight (or dual control) we know the others callsign we want to have detailled planes, and not to load others models is sometimes good for the (not) induced lag, this can make possible formation aérobatics without too much lag from model loading. my two cents... jano -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] working ridge lift !!
Torsten Dreyer a écrit : I just commited this patch with some changes: The properties probe_elev_m[0..4] were uninitialized and used in the Run() method before being initialized by a scan of the ground elevations. The first scan was performed after one second, so for the first second the probe_elev_m were used in an uninitialized state. I changed the timer behaviour to run the scan before the probe_elev_m values are used. To check, if this solves (and not hides) the nan issue, i commented out the line containing the isnan() check. Please report, if this works. Torsten that works here, no more nan, and now time to cross the alps in glider :). btw is there a particular reason why an unitialized state variable is more often nan than on other OS and platform? or is my ram more subject to cosmic ray attack?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] aircraft modeling question
My questions is this ... from a modeling perspective, can that 2nd aircraft be animated with absolute lon/lat/elev and roll/pitch/yaw degrees? Or would we need to compute an X, Y, Z offset in meters for the second aircraft? It would be a pain to figure out the orientation transform relative to the original aircraft ... can the secondary aircraft be animated with absolute angles relative to the world coordinate frame? Hi, you can have a look in tanker.nas, where the tanker move using direcly his lat, lon, alt, and differents inclinaisons with no relative reference, but be sure to not make your model solid, or you may have a lot of crashs. my2 cents jano -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] jsbsim wind correction in opposite direction
Jon S. Berndt a écrit : Yes, the difference stems from the need to know what the wind is bringing, and the vectorial definition of where it's going. The problem was that sometimes we just had a vector where we expected to see North, East, and Down, wind components. Well ... fine, but is that to or from. The convention was unspecified, and that caused confusion. From the FlightGear side, I can see winds being specified either way. In the flight dynamics code, however, I expect to see a wind velocity vector - the direction it's going. The question is, where does the conversion to the wind velocity vector form break? Jon After having seen in some places in last JSBSim code that wind direction is the direction the wind is toward, here's a patch that revert the values used in wind vector for JSBSim, that work for me, wind is now correctly applied. i didn't tested vertical composante . hope that helps jano Index: src/FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx === RCS file: /var/cvs/FlightGear-0.9/source/src/FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx,v retrieving revision 1.55 diff -u -r1.55 JSBSim.cxx --- src/FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx 27 Mar 2009 11:44:35 - 1.55 +++ src/FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx 1 Apr 2009 13:42:55 - @@ -328,9 +328,9 @@ Atmosphere-UseInternal(); } -fgic-SetVNorthFpsIC( wind_from_north-getDoubleValue() ); -fgic-SetVEastFpsIC( wind_from_east-getDoubleValue() ); -fgic-SetVDownFpsIC( wind_from_down-getDoubleValue() ); +fgic-SetVNorthFpsIC( -wind_from_north-getDoubleValue() ); +fgic-SetVEastFpsIC( -wind_from_east-getDoubleValue() ); +fgic-SetVDownFpsIC( -wind_from_down-getDoubleValue() ); //Atmosphere-SetExTemperature(get_Static_temperature()); //Atmosphere-SetExPressure(get_Static_pressure()); @@ -625,9 +625,9 @@ tmp = turbulence_rate-getDoubleValue(); //Atmosphere-SetTurbRate(tmp); -Atmosphere-SetWindNED( wind_from_north-getDoubleValue(), -wind_from_east-getDoubleValue(), -wind_from_down-getDoubleValue() ); +Atmosphere-SetWindNED( -wind_from_north-getDoubleValue(), +-wind_from_east-getDoubleValue(), +-wind_from_down-getDoubleValue() ); //SG_LOG(SG_FLIGHT,SG_INFO, Wind NED: // get_V_north_airmass() , // get_V_east_airmass() , -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I use a scenario that make it solid, and the wire usable, and now after the ground cache change i removed all solid part and it's still solid , and more dangerous because the island is now solid :). except if i change airport as said before. It's the same with Nimitz and Eisenhower. Btw how do we make a part non solid now? like the wakes?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] [patch] 737-300 3d model - FDM alignment problem
Anders Gidenstam a écrit : Hi, Hasn't anyone noticed that the FDM model landing gears (in fact, the whole FDM model) on the 737-300 is 9 meters behind the 3d model landing gears?! I almost never fly jetliners but that there was an alignment problem was obvious from the first glance in external view during taxing.. It is pretty much invisible from cockpit view, though, so I can see how serious pilots might not notice the problem.. :) I thought I had sent this patch last year, but it seems I might not have done that. Anyway, here are two alternative ways of aligning the 3d model with the FDM model: Alt.1. Adjust the visual reference point (VRP) in the JSBSim FDM config: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/737-300-offsets-1.diff Alt.2. Adjust the offsets in the 3d model XML file. Note that one has to modify the cockpit view location and usually also need to add a corresponding target-z-offset to the external views to make those look good with the repositioned 3d model. http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/737-300-offsets-2.diff I think alternative 2. is preferable since it avoids the risk of losing the VRP offset, should the FDM config be overwritten during a future JSBSim update. The Alt.2. method also works for YASim aircraft, should any of those need alignment. Silly (and old) postfix demo: http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/aircraft_updates/fgfs-737-300_adjusted.jpg Try that with the 737-300 in CVS... Cheers, Anders Hi, same thing with the E3B and the KC135, 3d model is 21m before fdm. here are the files i changed: http://janodesbois.free.fr/doc/Aircraft.tar.gz ( i used Alt. 2) if someone want to test and commit? i don't know if that has an effect on visual distance aar works in mp mode, for the KC135.

[Flightgear-devel] concerning the Foch carrier
Hi all, trying to use the Foch as a carrier in OSG, it appeared : -it was too low on the water, so the deck is under water (somebody told me about global warming, but isn't it supposed to float?) - the deck was not solid. It don't make solid the 'OBJECT group' defined in the .ac i join the modified files, i only made solid the deck , the hangar's floor and the elevator, so as to move the planes easily on board. here are the files : http://janodesbois.free.fr/doc/foch.tar.gz may be there was a more elegant way to do the job, let me know if you have better idea. ps: in the plib version he don't have the right hight, as i remenber addind +9m offset in the y axis did the job (in foch.xml). if you want to test it, use the foch_demo scenario and start at LFTH, tacan is 026X. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

But I still don't know if it's possible to start FG-OSG from the second screen (using DISPLAY setting or in preference.xml) as it never did for me, and how to configure a static view in a camera section (like the boomer view while flying the KC-135). To finish, i've got some issues using dual view with clickable panels: I was unable to start the lightning, none of the clickable element worked, even tab that should call a menu did not work. with the pa24-250 it's different: automatique pilot contol and the radio panel are working, but none of the other switchs (still working with keyboard shortcut).

Re: [Flightgear-devel] dual head problem
Hi, that would be fine if i coud have the files, i think i can set up X, but i need things to tell OSG witch screen to use, it always use the fist one, and sometimes i woul'd like to run FG on the smaller screen. thanks for the answers. John Wojnaroski a écrit : Hi, OK, I've just starting working with OSG and multiple cameras so may not have all the details. OSG only requires a single instance of FG to use multiple cameras. You'll need to set up your xorg.conf file to run your graphics boards under a single X server and there are some lines you'll need in the preferences.xml file to configure the cameras, FOVs, and displays. If you understand what I've just said and have done this, then that pretty much exhausts my current understanding of OSG and multiple cameras. If OTOH, you're not clear on how to do this, I can provide a copy of the files that others have been kind enough to provide and I've edited for my setup. I'm not at my machine with those files, but will send them later today via private mail, if you like. These files set up X windows and configure FG-OSG to produce three views (left, center, right).
