[Flightgear-devel] FGFS is at SigGraph

2008-08-14 Thread Alex Perry
The ATI booth at SigGraph in Los Angeles this week is demonstrating a
single Linux machine with two dual-head graphics cards running four
monitors.  They are running FlightGear on four monitors (center, left,
right, above) with the F15 flying between KSFO and the golden gate
bridge.  Although the engineers who set it up for the show forgot to
mention it on our mailing list, the chap at the demo station was
happily telling everyone about how nice the simulator is and telling
people about the website.  If you're at the show, swing by and say Hi
to him ...

I can add a couple of details about the FlightGear configuration. This is the 
Open Scene Graph version, using OSG's multicamera support. There's only one 
instance of fg running on the machine. I don't think it's using the brand new 
camera configuration code; this hardware does use one screen per channel and 
they set up a video wall, so they were able to use the existing camera shear 
parameters. They are using the new feature that allows a generic protocol 
playback file to be played back in an infinite loop.

Nice going!

I think I've heard this announced a few weeks back .. ;-)
Indeed, nice going. Both for ATI and for the FlightGear contributors.

Great - ask them if they're ever going to release the working OpenGL 
drivers they're using.
