On unix systems ( cygwin is emulating one ) semi-colon (;) is used
to seperate commands on a same line. Usually, the colon (:) is 
used to seperate path in the same line. So try :

--fg-scenery=/FlightGear/scenery:/FlightGear/data/scenery

instead

The Cygwin build of FGFS-cvs appears still to have a problem with the
scenery path.

I've downloaded 0.9.5 scenery via Terrasync into /FlightGear/scenery

This works:

--fg-scenery=/FlightGear/scenery

as does this:

--fg-scenery=/FlightGear/data/scenery 

this fails:

--fg-scenery=/FlightGear/scenery;/FlightGear/data/scenery


This is the output:

Both Simgear-cvs and FlightGear-cvs compile without error post Eric's latest

You don't have to look into plib to find a lot of exit. jsbsim has its
share and some other modules that are not willing to include fg_os.hxx.

So I think it is safer not to provide our specific exit function and 
rely on atexit callbacks.

I proposed two patches but there is a question that maybe Andy could
answer : what is the purpose of fgOSExit ? It comes to me because 
this function, is called only once in FlightGear while exit is called
at many locations. fgOSExit is just calling exit for the glut version
and SDL_Quit() + exit in the sdl version.

What about calling SDL_Quit in a function installed by 'atexit', remove
fgOSExit and only rely on exit in all the program ?

I noticed some enhancements in the new rendering dialog, and would like
to ask how feasible it would be to integrate even more performance-related
options into that rendering dialog. (see my other posting)
So, generally I am talking about the rendering options that one can
already provide via command line. It might be really useful if you
could change these while the game is running - just for every user
to be able to achieve a reasonable frame rate, this is just because
I also noticed some decrease in FPS with the latest CVS built - and
would like to be able to find the best configuration directly
within the game.
We could even introduce some basic kind of "rendering profiles",
using comboboxes users could define their profiles and switch
the profiles on the fly.
Just a thought, though ...
By the way: I noticed that the feature request/bug report options
at sourceforge were being used at some time, is this still being
maintained or at least looked at regularly ?
Because, otherwise I would really suggest to separately install
some kind of feature/bug database at flightgear.org - just drop
me a line if you need help doing that. :-)

I think there IS a point to it, because I've made very similar and
*weird* observations, running on a pretty decent system with a
nvidia card, you would get about 15-20 (the latter rarely) FPS, while
taking the same CVS stuff to an OLD system (< 1 GHZ, 1 GIG RAM, ATI
RAGE128) gives usually even more than these 20 FPS, as I am currently
trying to summarize which subsystems I need and which of these can
be "disabled" I have also made the following attempt:
-   disabling pretty much all rendering stuff
-   => now having an empty FG window
-   show the framerate THEN
On my (decent) main system I keep getting not more than 30 FPS,
while I do get around 50+ FPS with my old ATI RAGE 128 in such
a mode on the other system.
So, yes - I do think there are indeed some performance issues related
to the openGL stuff. And I agree it's pretty disappointing to see
the game @ 15 FPS on a system which usually provides up tp 80+ FPS in
other games/openGL stuff. And I really don't think that FlightGear is
making THAT much use of the GPU ?!
Either it's really about some specific GPU options not being enabled
or made full use of or there are some other _real_ problems ?
Hence, it might really be a good idea to temporarily offer disabling of
more advanced rendering features or even texture-rendering in general,
personally I wouldn't care that much - and I agree with Erik, that most
of the texture stuff gets pointless when you are IMC.

I was not speaking about the underlying library at this point. It could
also be our use of it, or the use of it by the model loaders. Otherwise,
how could you explain the variations in framerate whether the buildings
and the bridges are in view or not.
Just as an example, it is not possible to share a set of vertices and
vertices attributes between 2 graphic primitives. Indexed arrays are
there but are never used, and if they would, the same vertex used by
2 adjacents primitives would have to be pushed twice. I didn't experienced
myself what could be the gain yet, but I don't see a potential loss.
And all this static data could reside in card memory instead of being
sent to the bus every frame.
> Has anyone profiled FGFS recently ?
That is certainly needed. I was very disappointed myself to see that
switching from GF3 to GF5900 didn't improve my framerate.
I got a small improvement when I upgraded my CPU.
There is another point with graphic cards. On windows, their drivers
can switch on several features that are not managed by the application.
FSAA and anisotropic filtering come to mind. Unexperienced users can
have them to their max ( just because these are default values ) with
a significant impact on framerate.
It is just weird that in Innis case, things are getting worse. FX5200
are not top end cards but ATI 9800pro are. Something in the setup of
these machines must be wrong.

You asked what the alpha window was.It is a window that pops up if you
are using a JSBSIM FDM. Just says ALPHA and then the rest of sim loads.
Well on the version I downloaded yesterday this window did not flash by
instead I got a window saying "bad comand or file name" but then the
sim continued to load normally.
I will look into these things and see if I can find anything out.

2004-07-17 Thread Jonathan Polley
Fred,
 It turns out that the problem should exist on every FlightGear 
system, not just the Mac.  On exit(), fgExitCleanup() is called which 
deletes the globals class and then calls fgOSExit().  The only thing 
that fgOSExit() does is turn around and call exit(), which repeats the 
process.  I changed fgExitCleanup() in main.cxx to be as follows:

void fgExitCleanup() {
delete globals;
//fgOSExit(0);
}
This prevented the recursive call to exit(), but will not work if 
someone is using the fg_os_sld.cxx module, but it works for me.

Thanks,
Jonathan Polley

Sorry Norman, but I don't understand. FlightGear does not depend on fgrun.
It is just in the Win32 binary package since 0.9.3 and probably in several
Linux packages as a bonus. runfgfs and runfgfs.bat are still generated by
configure in the source package.
Anyway, the website could mention flightgear related projects but I

If I remember correctly there IS a specific section on the webpages,
at least that's what I think. Wait ...
Ya, while it cannot be found under "related projects" those other
projects are mentioned on the "links" page: 
http://www.flightgear.org/links.html

I'd also suggest to separately maintain such a listing, this could be
also done via some kind of basic CMS - if there aren't any other volunteers
I really wouldn't mind to ocassionally update such a section.
I think it's really a good idea to have a central place for all
FlightGear related software, that way you would also make things
easier for new users who are just trying to start getting familiar
with FlightGear - they would only have to look in one place.
We could add a small description with relevant remarks and have
some small table for all the 2nd party stuff that there is.

Implying that the underlying rendering library is the cause for 'lack of 
improvement' is a little harsh given the *many* changes since the 
last relese that have little to do with rendering :-)

Has anyone profiled FGFS recently ?

Until fgrun is distributed with FGFS I 'vote' for the batch file being 
reinstalled in the distribution. 

This is esp. true since there have been quite a few changes in

FG is not using the latest features new cards are offering and the 'old'
features are pretty maxed out now. This is not an explanation for
worst performance but just for lack of improvement. In the meantime,
you probably switched to another setup/resolution that can eat computing
power on your back.

Original Quake is not pushing so much triangles and textures to the card
because their action is indoor and the scene is bound to few rooms. Doom is
even using sprites for the monsters instead of full 3d and lots of tricks
are done to maintain a high framerate. That's said, FG is not very good
at framerate because it is modeling a lot of things in background and
it's graphic engine is a bit outdated.

What is the Alpha window ? If you don't see fgrun, you probably have a path
problem that is in conflict with you cvs version.
The black lines are brought to you by newer hardware. I have the same and
they
probably come from anisotropic or another kind of filtering.

That last sentence make me feel that your performance problem is not
related with the graphic card. If submitting less job to the card give
the same result, that just mean that the bottleneck is not likely to
be the graphic system, either software or harware.

> > So with a new version coming out could these problems be looked at.

Not likely on performance this time. You can still submit bug reports
on the current version.

Good. That part is fixed in CVS no.w
Unless test1 and test2 do something useful they can be easily removed from
simgear/sound/makefile.am
We sometimes include test programs into the source tree that don't get 
installed by default. They are just to test the particular subsystem, 
nothing more nothing less.

But there is really no need to remove them from Makefile.am. The only 
thing they do is add a small bit of compile time, nothing noticeable 
compared to the compile time of the complete project.

RE: [Flightgear-devel] Next release of FlightGear

2004-07-17 Thread Innis Cunningham
Hi Curt
I downloaded the windows binaries last night for
9.4 and the problem of the drop down menu's
locking the sim up still seem to exist.Even if you
go to exit FG and then select cancel the sim locks up.
The reason that I downloaded the binaries was that I
have just built a new box,that I am going to put linux
on,but wanted to find out how the new box compaired
for speed to the old box. To my surprise the frame rates
were worse than the old box.
The following tests were done using windows 98SE
The old box was a 850meg duron with 256 meg ram and
a GF4-MX-440 64meg graphics card.On this box I could get 27fps
sitting at the end of 28R at KSFO looking at the terminal.
The new box a 2gig athalon with 512meg ram and a FX5200
128meg graphics card could only give 22fps under the same
conditions.Also my son who has a 2.8 gig rig running an ATI 9800pro
card could only get 15fps.It seems the more powerfull the computer
the slower FG seems to run.
Now I dont know why that is but if we want to get new people into
FG we should see what the problem is.
As my son says if he had downloaded the game(sorry sim)and seen these
kind of results he would have just scrubed it and moved on and I guess
there are a lot of other people who would do the same thing.
My son says that he gets frame rates of well over 100 on Quake and Doom
which seem to be much more graphics intensive than FG.
Also I noticed that in the 9.4 base the runfgfs bat file has been removed.
Was there a reason for this.
I guess I did not notice this before because I was running the 9.4 binaries
with the CVS version of the base package and my own bat files.
When I ran the 9.4 version I downloaded last night it seemed to flash up
a dos window saying bad command or file name about were I would expect
to see the Alpha window on my other version of 9.4.The sim would then
continue to load.But once loaded the runway had black lines at the end of
each texture.
I have seen this before when running AC3D and FG 9.4 at the same time on
my old box.On that system the sim would, under those conditions, only run at
about 1fps or less.But in that case I could get the sim to run correctly by 
shutting
down AC3D(maybe a memory thing).But with the version I downloaded last night
I could not get the black lines to disappear at all.
Is anyone else seeing this.
From the air the runway looks like a step ladder.
Also on the new box the frame rates do not seem to change if I
have full fog or no fog.On the old box the frame rates would half
with no fog
So with a new version coming out could these problems be looked at.

Nono, that's not what I meant.
Norman once build a separate library for alut and openal, but in the end 
put them together into on library called openal.

So I guess we just should remove the entries from configure.ac now.
Thanks for testing this.

Line 92 of globals.cxx seems ok. subsystem_mgr was allocated with a 
new operator in line 45. Could you put a breakpoint at line 92 to see
if on your system, the destructor is not called twice ?

Once the offending entries are removed from simgear/sound, simgear compiles
correctly, but Norman's pre-built libraries were still present. I'll remove
those and try again.

Since there is a new release coming, I decided to bring the Mac version

Same problem here - fg_os.cxx appears to be missing from the tarball - 
dropping the cvs version into place allows you to finish compiling it.

Is there a correct detection of libalut and libopenal in simgear

No, it's pre-defined for every platform right now.

SimGear-0.3.6-pre1 will not compile under Cygwin. It fails in 

[openal-test1.exe]: cannot find -lalut.

And

[openal-test2.exe]: cannot find -lalut.

This is a known problem in cvs, and can be resolved by removing all
reference to openal-test1 and openal-test2 in ~/simgear/sound/makefile.am

If test1 and 2 are no longer required they should be removed, or this known
bug should be fixed or recorded.

Regards

Vivian

Good catch. There was a mistake in the build system. This should be 
solved in the FlightGear-0.9.5-pre2. (In the mean time you could just 
copy the fg_os* files from CVS)

And what about jumping in version numbers ( all 3 projects to 0.9.5 ) to

Just a thought :
Maybe it would be wise to have a TerraGear release that match released 
SimGear as well ? That would avoid question about compatibility issues

There's one thing I can't really test right now with tearing apart my system, 
but seem to remember from previous update experience. AFAICT, the SimGear 
configure script currently doesn't check whether or not a working openal lib 
is installed. Maybe this is fixed already, if not, probably worth looking 
into.

Cheers,
Durk

Correction:
Not only is fgfs missing, but so are metar, terrasync, and (est-epsilon?).

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Next release of FlightGear

Oh, I forgot to mention, I installed simgear in /usr/share/simgear and tried 
to do the same with FlightGear in /usr/share/FlightGear.

I used the following commands when I was compiling FlightGear:

./configure --prefix=/usr/share/FlightGear --with-simgear=/usr/share/simgear
make (with the error showed up at the end)

make install works, but fgfs is missing in /usr/share/FlightGear/bin

Curt and others,
Just a quick question: Does this mean, we're entering a feature-freeze period 
now?

Yes, I apologize for not being 100% clear ... I'm juggling way too many 
things this summer, but I'm still trying to get a release out.

The reason I'm asking is that I have some upates for the traffic manager 
that I was planning to clean-up a bit and submit by the end of the weekend. 
This new code, while humble in size, is going to be a big step forward 
because it eliminates the dependency on predefined flightplans, and thus 
allows for much more flexibility in creating Traffic files. 
 

I seem to see a huge memory leak when leaving FG running for a long 
time.  I suspect it is within the AI system somewhere, but I haven't 
really worked hard at verifying this.  I am leaning towards having the 
AI system toggled off by default in the official release unless we can 
get to the bottom of this in the next couple days.

I'm also in the process of creating some sample traffic patterns for the 737, 
going in and out of KSFO, based on the current United Airlines time table. 
I'd also like to see these included in the new version (and they depend on 
the new code), because it would liven up the dynamic scenery around KSFO 
quite a bit. 

As an aside, just after the release of 0.9.4, I reported two segfaults 
occurring randomly after prolonged FlightGear use (approx 8-10 hours of run 
time). One of those I managed to track down, but the other one never really 
got much attention. Would people downloading and testing the prereleases be 
willing to run FlightGear for extended periods of time (preferably from 
within gdb, so that we can try to find some evidence whether or not this bug 
is still there and find some evidence about it's nature?
 

I haven't had a chance to do long runs of FG in the last couple weeks, 
but if there are segfaults floating around, we should attack them 
aggressively.

Curt.

Most likely sunsite hasn't sync'd it's mirror yet.  You can always go
