Re: [Flightgear-users] About Multiple Display Synchronization
Tingey Wang I have spent considerable time and effort attempting to implement multiple monitors using flightgear's inbuilt command line options but with limited success. I have asked the same questions as you and received the same answers! In short, the offset option does not work and I have now given up trying to get it to work and instead use a Matrox Parhelia 3 channel video card to drive the 3 external displays. This seems to work but I have still to 'line-up' the 3 horizons successfully. I would be interested to know if anyone has ever successfully used fllightgear's mulitple monitors view-offset options.

Thanks for your response. Are these commands to be written to the terminal? or somwhere else that I don't know? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [Flightgear-users] About Multiple Display Synchronization
Tony, Try the following option: --prop:/sim/view/config/heading-offset-deg=45 At some point, I think the original view offset command line option was broke and no one ever fixed it or changed the docs. Note that you probably want to play around with a combination of fov and heading-offset to get the horizon to line up across your multiple monitors. Curt.

[Flightgear-users] Joystick calibration problems
Hi. I've just buyed a joystick for fligthgear (-0.9.6-2mdk on Mandrakelinux 10.1 with kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk). It's a SAITEK Cyborg-Gold-3d-USB which need to be calibrated. What is the good way to do it ? *The first way* I did a calibration running jscal -c /dev/input/js0. After this calibration the joystick works much better even if a jscal -t /dev/input/js0 returns jscal: axes not calibrated. /jstest output before calibration/ Axes: 0: -5068 1: -4392 2: -9121 3: 9120 4: 0 5: 0 Buttons: 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off 7:off 8:off 9:off 10:off 11:off 12:off 13:off 14:off 15:off /jstest output after calibration/ Axes: 0: 0 1: -1057 2: 1346 3: 32767 4: 0 5: 0 Buttons: 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off 7:off 8:off 9:off 10:off 11:off 12:off 13:off 14:off 15:off How can I load the correction values automatically so that if I unplug the joystick I don't have to recalibrate each axis? The man page of jscal is not clear at all about the option: -s x,y,z..., --set-correction x,y,z *The second way* Modifying the cooked joystick values in my joystick.xml file changing dead-band, offset, factor and tolerance? -- Jean-Christophe CHARRIER [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

* CHARRIER Jean-Christophe -- Sunday 28 November 2004 22:19: It's a SAITEK Cyborg-Gold-3d-USB which need to be calibrated. What is the good way to do it ? I did a calibration running jscal -c /dev/input/js0. After this calibration the joystick works much better even if a jscal -t /dev/input/js0 returns jscal: axes not calibrated. Same here. Forget -t. How can I load the correction values automatically so that if I unplug the joystick I don't have to recalibrate each axis? Once calibrated, you dump a calibration script: # jscal -p /usr/local/sbin/jscal-cyborg.sh and call this script from e.g. /etc/init.d/boot.local or elsewhere. Modifying the cooked joystick values in my joystick.xml file changing dead-band, offset, factor and tolerance? You can change these if you don't like some of the values, but only if you have calibrated the js first. Don't change the js config *instead* of calibrating. That's evil! You would continuously have to adjust all the values, because the js behavior changes over time. A new calibration should be all that's needed then. m. ___ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
Re: [Flightgear-users] About Multiple Display Synchronization
Curt, Sorry I'm not so familliar with flightgear. So, could you tell me where to add your option --prop:/sim/view/config/heading-offset-deg=45? I don't know where to change the value. And, is it necessary to change the video card as Tony said? Thanks so much, Tingey Wang On Sun, 28 Nov 2004 08:56:45 -0600, Curtis L.
