Hi guys,
Just returning to flight simulation after many years abscence (well
used to have a real job to do!!).
Flightgear looks like a really good project to get involved in.
I am hoping to look at code optimisation in the refresh loop of the
bits that do sums.
I am more familiar with compiler
Hi,
Someone once said that Britain and America are two countries only
separated by a common language!!
To get away from keyboard I am cannabalising cheap USB gamepads to
make switch
boxes. My first try is the Logic 3 JP260 which has 10 buttons I can
use. However MACOSX reports unknown Vendor
Hi,
On the Cessna 172/150 range of aircraft the carb-heat control is a
progressive
knob as for mixture. The operators recommendation is indeed that only
FULL or
off should be used and it is represented as bool in flight gear but
is this a correct
interpretation. If the actual aircraft panel is
Apologies guys for not providing diff files for previous suggestions
on joysticks.
Wanted to see if anyone was interested before I did so!
Here we go:

Hi folks,
Hopefully I would like to start a discussion of Flightgear code
optimisation.
My first thoughts are that fgfs divides logically into a number of
sub-systems:
a) Flight Dynamics Modelling (FDM)
b) Exterior View
c) Cockpit input and output ie joystick controls,switches and displays.
d)
Hi,
One comment and some documentation has indicted that FDM doesnt consume
much CPU.
I ask myself why?
The modelling of a generalised rigid body with six degrees of freedom
in a rotating frame of
reference should max out anyones and everyones CPU!
Of course any model is only as good as the
Hi,
Can the jsclient and the js_server code be extended to allow up to
eight joystick axis and the jsclient.cxx code enhanced to accept the
button bits? It looks like the js_server.cxx code is encapsulating
the button word as long integer but it is not being decoded on
jsclient.cxx side.
Hi,
I notice that Plib library allows:
#define _JS_MAX_AXES 16
#define _JS_MAX_BUTTONS 32
#define _JS_MAX_HATS 4
so maybe we should stick to these limits.
I am also in discussions with Jon (JSB) about server/client
communication to and from JSBsim for passing property values back and
forth.
Hi guys,
Without wishing to start a flame war and perhaps starting another
thread!!
Anyone transmitting un-encrypted data across a world wide internet (as
opposed to a private intranet) needs to think ahead a little. Every
hacker will be rubbing their hands with glee before trying to hit you
