Here’s the setup: Start the program as fgfs --airport=KLXV --metar="XXXX 012345Z 00000KT 99SM CLR 15/M01 A2992"
Let the aircraft sit on the runway. There is no need to start the engine. Use the "v" key to cycle through the available views. The scenery looks normal until you get to the last view, i.e. the "model view". Then you will see that most (perhaps all) of the terrain is gone. Normally this view would show the aircraft sitting on the runway, but what you get instead is shown in figure 2. Cycling through the other views shows that their terrain is now gone, too, and does not come back. http://www.av8n.com/fly/fgfs/htm/bug-list.htm#fig-erosion-day If you do it at night, you find that the entire planet has been eaten away; the sun and stars are visible below the horizon, as shown in figure 3. http://www.av8n.com/fly/fgfs/htm/bug-list.htm#fig-erosion-night This type of failure is 100% reproducible chez moi. The degree of failure is somewhat variable, in the sense that sometimes all the terrain is gone but sometimes scattered remnants can be seen. Sometimes if you let the aircraft sit on the eroded terrain for a while, it goes through its “crash” ritual, wiggling and tumbling, which is pretty silly given that the engine was never started. It is common to get segfaults. I can provide detailed logs if anybody is interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
