Hi, As Cameron suggested me I expose here my 'problem', previously exposed on the user ML : http://seneca.me.umn.edu/pipermail/flightgear-users/2002-May/001078.html (And previous in the thread))
Summary : I'working on FG to add an Instrument on the panel to give the pilot the possibility to select waypoints among an xml-file defined list of waypoints (lat + long and not airports). The instruments should compute the heading and the distance to the selected wp, and mark it as done in the list when the plane reaches it. I know that the current FGFS allows the pilots to define wp but : - I don't want the autopilot to automatically start when we select a wp. - current wp are not defined in the props tree so I can't use them with my future panel instrument - these wp can only be airports which is too restrictive for the missions I want to plan. Thus I'm currently writing some python script to implements such facilities from an external processus through the telnet interface in order to define wp coords and add them in the props tree and furthermore to dynamically compute the heading an the distance. So I can solve my problems, even it is very stylee :) But I think that wp list should be defined in the property tree, and if you do so, it would be nice of you to announce it as soon as it is implemented so I don't do the same in my scripts for nothing. Thanks for all, Olivier _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
