[Flightgear-devel] OSG/PLIB ?
Wasn't sure what to title this one :) Now that the PLIB version is out ... what steps should we take with the aircraft? It's a nuisance trying to make a model work with both versions , and I'd prefer to go forward with making them OSG compatible... Are cvs updates since the release available on the aircraft download page ? If not , it would seem safe to start converting to pick animations,etc ...

Hi syd, syd schrieb am 09.12.2006 22:41: Hi, I see the collision as a feature , whats wrong with being realistic... ? same for me. But first we need to get rid of the runway cows and need a solution for multiplayer. As multiplayer gets more and more popular, the probability to crash directly after starting with default location increases dramatically. (I had this several times, and the number of users online was always 10) Another feature that would be nice would be a scenery texture detection system Land on forested area, city,etc, should cause a crash ... Why directly a crash? Different consistence would be ok. I would place a veto if the heli crashes when landed in a city. And the AN-2 is capable to land on normally unsafe ground. Water and ocean should cause a crash unless your flying an amphibian... Farms , grass ,tundra should be safe Farms should cause much higher friction.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] osg/plib, difference in collision detection
O.k I understand what you mean - well you can see it from both sides: a better collision detects ( and I don't mean the cows) in opposite to something that has in the real world a bad aftermath. But If Flightgear want to be realistic, and we want aircrafts showing us what happen when you do something wrong you can't close your eyes about this.

There are a lot of objects that are explicitly excluded from collisions in the Plib version, and for good reason. For instance, do you want to crash when a light halo from one of your nav lights intersects with the ground? Josh - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Hi, is this a bug or a feature? While plib-fg does not detect collisions with cows and multiplayer aircrafts, osg-fg does detect. If another player starts in multiplayer on the same position, e.g. where I am spinning up the rotor of a heli), my heli crashes. Maik - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
