-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As I mentioned in another message I just sent to this list, I installed the latest FlightGear yesterday. Of course, I couldn't go long without trying different terrain, and my first try was a piece including southeast Norway. The problem is that, when I try starting FlightGear up in that tile, there is no scenery, it says my coordinates are 0 degrees and 0 degrees, and the plane just doesn't do squat. I can tell the engine to throttle up, but the RPM indicator stays at 0, and the plane just flat doesn't do anything but sit there. Also, there seems to be an infinite number of "no terrain intersection" messages that begin to be output as soon as the plane is ready to go (if only it worked), interspersed with occassional "Failed to remove nav-vor-ident sound" messages and a few others. I looked through the list archives, and I found mention from October or so about --lon and --lat having problems, and someone suggesting that it was only the eastern hemisphere that wasn't working, perhaps because FlightGear was parsing coordinates in that hemisphere improperly. I therefore downloaded the terrain tile that includes Orlando, Florida, and lo and behold, it worked like a charm. It was suggested that the problem might be in options.cxx, and I have indeed looked at the file for a few minutes, but can find no particular error. In fact, when I run "./fgfs --lon=11 --lat=59 2> /dev/null" from the directory FlightGear is in the very first output is:
parse_time() = 11 parse_time() = 11 parse_time() = 59 parse_time() = 59 which seems to correspond to the coordinates I have entered. Perhaps someone that knows which variables to follow (and knows how to use the debugger, which I don't) can check out what's going on here. I have plenty of output messages that I can present if needed, but I doubt that they will be helpful. If there's anything I can do to help out here and restore half of the world to FlightGear (assuming that's what the problem is), just let me know. I know C and C++, for what it matters.
