Hi,
I'm building flightgear from source and am seeing an issue when I try
to access the ATC dialog by pushing [']. Instead of coming up with
the dialog it just says "Not currently tuned to any ATC service". I
know that it is tuned to the correct frequency. The frequencies show
up in the frequencies dialog, so something in flightgear knows about
them. The other interesting thing is that if I fly out of range I get
the message saying I am clear of the tower's airspace, which would
imply that I am tuned to the correct frequency.
I've noticed a few users on the forum are having this same issue, but
no useful responses.
I'm running on ubuntu jaunty, using the build script on the wiki.
I've modified the script to use the git servers instead. Currently
I'm using the v2.0.0 release.
Looking into this further, it's quite obvious why it isn't working:
FGATC* atcptr = globals->get_ATC_mgr()->GetComm1ATCPointer();
<-- This function is hardcoded to return 0.
if (!atcptr) {
label = "Not currently tuned to any ATC service";
Not being able to communicate with the tower seems like a fairly big
regression to me. I know it didn't do a whole lot, but if you're
trying to follow tutorials that teach you the correct procedures for
coming in to land or taking off, it's a bit of a pain if you can't
even bring up the menu. I can see that this code is being rewritten,
but releasing it half finished is probably not ideal. Is there
anything that can be done easily to make this work again?
Cheers,
Luuk
