JSBSim - ok, got the new FGInitialCondition.cpp with vers 1.33 2002:01:24 ... I certainly 'like' the few added protective if( vt < 0.01 ) return 0; Let's see if that helps ... Also some other small updates - httpd.cxx, light.cxx, options.cxx, etc. Just a small list today ... Must look again how to 'fix' options.cxx instead of adding - char * envp = "D:\\FGFS\\FlightGear\\Scenery"; Something was said about 'setting' props??? But for now will try the default FDM using only the cvs fgfsbase scenery files ... small sub-set. And i remember to 'comment out' my system.fgfsrc - ie add # to beginning of each line. It WORKED! Great stuff ... with patients it only took 3 mouse clicks to get mags both on - Shift-1, then space bar kicked the motor into life ... Ok, now where's the parking break so I can run the motor up, and test left and right mag drops? Nah! I'll do that next time ... anyway the chief has just brought it back from a check-out so think the motor's ok today (i says to myself) ... Push the throttle open (=back slider on my MS SideWider js) and watching the IAS rise is always a great feeling ... A little difficult to correct the left swing when zillions of HDD io events are also happening ... But get the nose up, IAS holding, we're FLYING ... Great stuff. Tried a simple 1,000 ft circuit, like KSFO was my own small private field ... As always the tiling and scenery means you have to sort of 'freeze input' for several seconds now and again ... But this is not the FDM's fault alone ... Well noted the new log output is (many of) ... f3-f1= 1701.6777 f3-f1= 1701.6777 f3-f1= 1701.9759 Now that we've seen this maybe it can be turned OFF :-)) Do not quite 'understand' the stream after - f3-f1= 1701.8808 Trim successful JSBSim State Trim complete 0: GEAR_CONTACT 1 1: GEAR_CONTACT 1 ... on and on and on ... Actually I was never able to STOP the FDM. Maybe if I shut the engine off? But the brake seemed not to work ... right to the very end of the session I got ... Program exit requested. 123: GEAR_CONTACT 1 124: GEAR_CONTACT 0 Updating light parameters. Sun angle = 56.4362 ambient = 0.252872 diffuse = 0.996426 sky = 0.991851 125: GEAR_CONTACT 1 126: GEAR_CONTACT 0 Program exiting normally at user request. Sort of bumping forward over the ground ... but this is MINOR compared to the QNAN which seems to have died ... thank's again, and phew ... a gremlin bites the dust ... Many thanks for keeping on with this ... Rgds, Geoff. PS: Time is running, but will try YASim over the next few days again. Maybe if it is the 'first' fdm to run after the system boot ... and back to magic ... _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
