Hi all, I've written a nasal class to simulate GPS calculation. you can find the script here: http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/flightgear/gps.nas
I'm aware it is maybe not as well-written as other .nas scripts found in $FGROOT/Nasal :p, but I think it could be interresting to put it in CVS for further development (for this, it is possible to remove the first lines concerning GPL, and maybe the 2 demos included), and to allow some aircraft mainteners and instruments creators to create gps in their aircraft. I've chosen this solution more than route manager because it is (at least for me) more easier to create a gps instrument from this class. I've created 2 demos instruments, they are included in the script, you can find them at the end of file: - gps.demo.show(): this one pop-up a dialog with some lines depending of the used mode (off, to, free and track). it is possible to enter parameters for the gps (coordinates, speed, course, altitude). - gps.demo2.show(<file>): this one allows you to follow a route, imported from a xml file (example around lfbt (france): http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/flightgear/route-example.xml). For now the route file is searched from FGHOME directory, waiting for a better place. It shows how the gpsDevice class manages the route. Here is an other script in perl http://seb.marque.free.fr/fichiers/scripts/perl/flightplan (ex ./plandevol-eng*) that can create route file suitable with gps: ./flightplan -d ksfo -a knid -wpt=KSFO-KNID.xml I let the creator of instruments chose their own way to select correct route file for their device if they allow route management for it. Features: please read top of gps.nas for an exhaustive list of exported properties and available methods. best regards, seb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
