[Flightgear-devel] Control System Pics

2010-07-18 Thread John Wojnaroski
Hi, A while back a few folks asked for some pics on the control loading system I was working on. Finally a little time to post a few pics see http://www.flickr.com/photos/flyr15/ Currently working on the PID and control algorithms and some code in FG to compute neutral elevator/stick position.

Ok, quick test with a new pull and it seems like heading and speeds are working for the layers now. The temperatures don't seem to be taking though, same setup as previous and I was below zero celcius before reaching 9000 feet and already nearly 9 below celcius at 12000 feet. Not sure about

For the time being, entering temperature into the dialog box is broken. The only way to set a temperature is by setting /environment/temperature-sea- level-degc which calculates the temperature at altitude based on ICAO standard atmosphere. That's a little disappointing. Hopefully a better

[Flightgear-devel] Cloud Rendering and threading

A paper from Intel that may be useful for those interested about clouds. It's also a good reference about how threading may help in this topic... Dynamic Volumetric Cloud Rendering for Games on Multi-Core Platforms

Looks like it is based on the work of Mark Harris which was used for the initial set of 3D cloud rendering in FG. (See his Phd thesis for more details.) Multi-core CPUs are becoming the norm, might be worth a second look. John On Sun, 2010-07-18 at 22:47 -0300, Pablo Rogina wrote: A paper
