Already done. See: http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/fgfs-model-howto.html#repositioning BTW the origin of geometry doesn't _have_ to be different. In some cases we'll offset because the model will already be done, and in other cases it might just be easier to work on if the origin is more or less centered. > Similarly, any other > parts of Flight Gear that use this data must be checked and modified if > necessary.

We need to be able to offset the "target" in look-at mode. Currently you can only offset the camera (eye) from a position. It's a fairly trivial modification and addition to the viewer interface. Each aircraft configuration (the flight gear one, not the fdm's) currently has a pilot's eye configuration, this modification will add data for offsets to the chase view that won't really change anything other than eliminating the "wagging" effect and maybe centering the aircraft in the view. http://www.flightgear.org/Docs/fgfs-viewer-howto.html#offsets Best, Jim _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
