Re: [Flightgear-devel] least squares code

2009-10-18 Thread wim van hoydonck
You might want to give kst [1] a try, which includes a plugin for weighted least-squares data fitting [2]. imho, kst is the easiest way to plot data in real time (with or without filters), and works very good with flightgear csv output (with a little bit of javascript). Wim [1] http://kst.kde.org

[Flightgear-devel] /sim/model-hz problems

Hi all, I bought a new laptop (intel core 2 duo with nvidia graphics card) and I'm having problems with the (too high) frame rates (fg/osg). Whenever I look outside in fg, the framerate skyrockets to values around 300 which induce stutter in the simulation. A (partial) solution would be to incre

Hi there, I was browsing through the code of simgear and noticed that the magnetic model used is the one defined in 2000. Since these magnetic models are only valid for 5 years, it is outdated. Sourcecode and documentation for the latest model (2005) can be downloaded from here: http://www.ngdc.

Hi there, That's because you have to install the patched OSG version and not the one from the AUR (I suppose you did that). See here: http://wiki.flightgear.org/flightgear_wiki/index.php?title=OpenSceneGraph Or if you do not want to run the osg version of flightgear, do a cvs update -rPRE_OSG_P
