Hi all, I dowloaded the newest version I could find (0.9.5a for Windows) and tried it on my Windows XP Pro SP1 machine. I noticed several things.
1. I can't hear the ATIS voice, even though the frequency is correct (it is the one displayed when using the ATC/Frequencies menu). Things are working correctly when using 0.9.4. 2. Looking at the charts for a nearby airport (LFMD - Cannes Mandelieu) on [1], I noticed two problems in the navaids: - a NDB is missing - the localizer at LFMD is missings its DME - some informations are duplicated (but this does not seem to be a problem, actually) You will find attached a patch that corrects those problems in nav.dat. 3. I also tried to make sure that, as per the approach charts, the LLZ has a heading of 349, instead of being exactly aligned on the runway which is 354 in the sim. So I changed the corresponding line in nav.dat to the following: 5 43.556389 006.949444 0 11035 349.000 CMD LFMD 35 LLZ But this did not give the result I expect: the localizer is still exactly aligned with the runway. On the other hand, if I use a very different value for the heading of the localizer (say, 330), then I can see the difference in the sim. It seems as if the localizer's heading was 'rounded' to the one of the runway when they are close to each other. Did I miss something? 4. Using --aircraft=c172p or --aircraft=c172r-3d-jsbsim, and adding a 12 knots wind that comes from 110 degrees on the left of the aircraft gives a strange result: the airplane lies on its tail, instead of on the front wheel. Try: fgfs [EMAIL PROTECTED] --aircraft=c172p --airport-id=KSRB This does not happen at KSFO, and it seems that this is thanks to the time needed to load the scenery. Maybe there is a problem at the very start of the FDM... It does not happen with --aircraft=c172r-3d-yasim. 5. Finally, how can I set from the command line the values controled with the View -> View distance menu. I'd like to change them 'permanently', but could not find the properties that they're tied to... This would allow me to use a very wide screen (1800x768) with a field of view of 90 degrees while still being able to read the panel... I noticed that I could change the [x,y,z]-offset-m[0] values in /sim/current-view to get what I want, but when I set them from the command line, those values seem ignored and replaced by the default values... Thanks for your help.
