Should I use some virtual dynamite :-) or is there another way to get rid of it? That's a beacon. Where you untarred the scenery, go into the w090n30/w083n34 directory and find the .stg file that contains the line OBJECT KGMU.btg. Find the line below that that says OBJECT_SHARED Models/Airport/beacon.xml .. ... .. ... and change the lat and lon slightly to move it. Alternatively you can use TaxiDraw to move it - unzip the airport data from the data/Airports directory and set TaxiDraw to look for it under Airport-raw data options (set the type to 'FlightGear'), drag the beacon, and use File-Export Beacons to FlightGear. That should work...

[Flightgear-users] Slow frame rate on Dell 2GB RAM, 3.06 GHz, Windows OS
Just downloaded the Windows binary and installed on C: drive of a fancy Dell PC w/ 2 GB RAM, 3.06 GHz processor running Windows. I could run faster than the Cessna flies, looks like frame rate is about 1 per second. I plan to give a cdrom w/ the binary to a friend that want to fly FG. I've been having fun flying with great performance with CVS versions on my Linux box (FC2). The Windows machine has an NVIDA QUADRO FX 1000 video card. One of the guys in our lab thought that the machine (by default) might not be allocating all RAM for the FG run. Any suggestions? Should I post to developers group? Mike __ Do you Yahoo!?

[Flightgear-users] Few Queries about FlightGear Execution
Hai, I have few doubts about OpenGL used in Flightgear-0.9.4. When I look into the code, I came to know that glutMainLoop is the event handler, which activate all OpenGL functions. I think only glutIdleFunc is called repeatedly and other events (Keyboard, Mouse, Motion) are activated in case of interrupt. Am I correct?? Can you please give me the flow of control, after glutMainLoop is executed? I have already asked about the time delay in fgMainLoop but I didn't get any reply.. My Previous Mail 1.I have a doubt in program execution (FlightGear-0.9.4). When I look into the code I have seen that glutIdleFunction is called repeatedly and fgMainLoop is called from the glutIdleFunction. Now I have displayed the elapsed time from the fgMainLoop. The elapsed time displayed varies... It shows 15 ms for 5 cycles and 0 ms for a cycle and this continues (15 ms for 5 cycle and 0 ms for a cycle). Why it happens??? Note: I didnt use Keyboard interrupt or Mouse click or Mouse motion during this time calculation 2.I have used Yasim-fdm for the J22-flight and I have printed the value of lat, lon and alt. Now my aircraft is in starting position in airport KSFO, I have pressed 'b' and '5' for break and Center aileron/elevator/rudder. When I look into the values printed in cygwin, the value of alt gradually increases... lat and lon remains same. What's the reason? In Yasim.cxx line 350_set_Geodetic_Position(lat, lon, alt*M2FT);printf("\n lat : %f lon : %f alt : %f",lat,lon,alt*M2FT); Regards,M.Senthil Kumar Yahoo!
