How do i do that? Have two separate protocol files and configure them as in and out respectivesly to work over the same serial port? Hmm, I never had that in mind. I don't think that would be possible, at least not in an interactive way. The generic protocol just sends data to the output port at regular intervals or reads data from the input port at regular intervals. Hmmm, why wouldn't this work ... you can open up a single serial port and write to and read from it. It can be done, just not in an interactive way. The implementation was not designed for that. So you can't return the value of a property based on a request from the sender. You can however sent and receive at the same time. And since the serial port driver buffers the incoming packets it would be possible to synchronize the sender and receiver without too much trouble.

RE: [Flightgear-users] converting from MDL to AC

Here's a screenshot of the result: http://home.comcast.net/~davidculp2/F80-MDL-AC.jpg The image on the left is of the MDL model, and the right is AC format. I looked through the AC file and don't see any crease statements. Would this be the cause of the effect shown? Is there a way to get threedconvert to preserve the smoothness of the original model? Load the model one time into ac3d, select the surfaces you want to have smooth shaded and press the 'Smooth' button in the left lower corner of ac3d. That will set the aprioriate property which is then honoured by flightgear. You can also set the crease angle by: a. setting the default value in files/settings/advanced - 61 degrees is a good compromise. b. set the individual value for an object in tools/object property editor.
