1) Where I'm coming from: Different people are interested in different parts of FlightGear. I consider it a strength of the project that it can be put to disparate purposes.
1a) As for me personally, and for more than a few others, there is interest in using it as a complex-aircraft procedures trainer, and as an IFR procedures trainer. 1b) If you want to use it for other things, that's fine. 2) Back on 06/26/2007 03:06 PM, Jon Stockill wrote: > With a cvs build checked out about half an hour ago I've just noticed > something very strange - with external views the doppler shift appears > to be related to the view angle rather than the approach speed.

The thread died ten days ago in a pillar of flame. The program bugs, however, have lived on. YMMV, but for my purposes the whole Doppler-shift thing is unhelpful. The cases where the existing Doppler model works are features I don't use, while features I do use are cases where the existing Doppler modle fails. For example: -- It is comical that the ILS middle marker is strongly shifted. -- It is not so comical that the ATIS broadast is redshifted into unintelligibility. Therefore I ask: Is there a nice way for the pilot, if he chooses, to disable Doppler effects, at least until the bugs are worked out? Perhaps a property that can be set? I grepped through the current property tree and didn't notice such a thing. 3) See item 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
