The reason why it never happened with the bo105 is that it wasn't really a threading bug, but a JSBSim bug. Took me a quite a while to find it. Ctrl-C in gdb always left me in the FGTileLoader, which was waiting for orders and was completely innocent. (I hadn't known gdb's "thread" command before.) I apologize to the the tile loader! m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Yes, it's time for a weather thread. That's why we have one since ages. (see Environment/environment_ctrl.cxx :-) I forget the details, but I don't think the initial call to the noaa is done inside the thread so you still can have possibly long pauses if the site is down or no data is available for the stations in your immediate vicinity.

Not in my case, because I've had that feature turned off for a week. (Didn't want to annoy noaa.gov too much, because I restarted fgfs very often for bo adjustments.) m. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
