Yes of course your solution is more easier ;) As said I'm not a great programmer but at least I try to do something. I'm not a simple "asker" who say << Please do it for me >> I try to involve myself with my little and insufficient skills but at least I do something. I saw that you commited th

Hi, I changed my technical solution in order to use the technical solution proposed by Mathias. I hope this git diff is more adapted : http://pastebin.com/30GD4ksE As you can see the parser is ready, I have tested with modified STG file and it works. Now I just need to implement the ground ele

Hi Mathias, I understand that the fact to compute the elevation every time scenery is loaded is not a way to improve loading time. X-Plane give the possibility to compute the elevation of an object, FSX do the same, and FlyLegacy do the same. Only FG require absolutely the elevation of object.

Hi, Hmm, I am not sure if we want this. It's really a few lines code thing to implement above ground placing of objects. The point is that this is a task that could be done once when the model is integrated into a scene. So, why the hell should we do that *every* time the scene is loaded? Ju

Hi all, My message is mostly destined to Mathias Froehlich since he seems to be mainly involved in this part of FG but of course every help is welcome. I would like add a new feature to the STG parser. Some months ago I had already added the possibility to give the pitch and roll (with the help
