[Flightgear-devel] RFD: Cessna 172R or 172M/N/P?

2002-04-30 Thread David Megginson
[I think this didn't get through yesterday, so I'm resending.] Because of problems with the plane I had originally booked, I ended up doing circuits in my club's Cessna 172R, precisely the plane we're modelling. Here are some notes: 1. I love the panel and especially the avionics. Since I was

I've been experimenting with a simple tree model in FlightGear. Here's the result: http://www.megginson.com/flightsim/tree.png The tree consists of a 32x64 RGBA texture mapped onto three sets of back-to-back rectangles at 120-degree angles to each other. From any given viewing angle (other

Jon, This is fixed by Darrell Walisser's patch. http://icdweb.cc.purdue.edu/~walisser/fg/fgdev.tar.gz The file contains patches for both SimGear and JSBSim. The gcvt() call is replaced by a glorified call to snprintf(). From the diff file: +#ifdef __APPLE__ +/* Not all systems have

[Flightgear-devel] JSBSim Build Problem Under MSVC

Here is one you will all like. It appears as if MSVC does not define snprintf() in any of its headers, but it does have _snprintf() with the same parameter list. RG! In JSBSim/FGFCS.cpp, I had to add a #define to map _snprintf() to snprintf( ) in order to get the latest CVS updates

A while ago, Alex suggested that we would be better modelling the 172M/N/P (I think), since those are more common. In retrospect, I agree, for a slightly different reason -- I don't think that we have access to the right numbers for a 172R. Actually, I suggest we fork the C172 into a

RE: [Flightgear-devel] JSBSim Build Problem Under MSVC

2002-04-30 Thread Jon Berndt
I'd prefer to get away from using _snprintf, snprintf, or whatever. The only reason we use them (IIRC) is to limit the length of an output string. This can be done in other ways, such as using the string class. Since they would not be used in performance critical areas, maybe that's an option?
