Hi Mathias, this reminds me that I had implemented the attached cleanup-patch for SGLocation (as part of the abstract terrain API). I currently don't have the time to finish the API, so the patch is a bit out of context (requires some small changes in flightgear), but if you are currently

Just two quick questions. What effect do gauges have on the frame rates of virtual cockpits. i.e. is there as strong effect after 10 or 20 gauges? Also is it possible to configure the views so that a virtual cockpit is only visible when actually in the cockpit? Cheers, Mostyn

From: Mathias Fröhlich I have done a patch to eliminate the jitter of 3D-objects near the viewpoint (for example 3D cockpit objects). The problem is the roundoff accuracy of the float values used in the scenegraph together with the transforms of the eyepoint relative to the scenery

OK, I got things working, but I have another question. First off, to get things to work, I had to rebuild SimGear --with-jpeg-factory and then reconfigure and rebuild FlightGear. The configure process actually checked for jpeg, so when it is not available it gives an error even though the help
