Hi, If anyone has tried running the FG/OpenGC displays across a network of mixed platforms you might experience a problem with the sizeof() function used to determine the size of the network data packet.
Linux and cygwin calculate the value differently in aligning the bits in memory. the result will be garbage at the output end A quick solution is to add a dummy variable of type int at the preamble of the data packet on both sides of the interface as noted below. This results in a structure size where modulus 8 is zero and the bits align, In the file opengc_data.hxx // at the start of the public definition in the class ogcFGData unsigned int version_id; unsigned int msg_type; unsigned int msg_content unsigned int dummy; /// add this to make the bits line up between linux and cygwin Regards John W. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
