The main loop escapes from the "loading scenery objects" when the fdm is initialized (property /sim/fdm-initialized goes to true). This property gets set from the FDMShell in the update() method only, if scenery is available under the aircraft. This will never happen if you are above a hole in the ground. You can fool the logic by setting /sim/fdm-initialized to "true" from the property browser after startup.
Torsten Here is the relevant code: from src/FDM/fdm_shell.cxx void FDMShell::update(double dt) { if (!_impl) { return; } if (!_impl->get_inited()) { // Check for scenery around the aircraft. double lon = fgGetDouble("/sim/presets/longitude-deg"); double lat = fgGetDouble("/sim/presets/latitude-deg"); double range = 1000.0; // in metres SGGeod geod = SGGeod::fromDeg(lon, lat); if (globals->get_scenery()->scenery_available(geod, range)) { SG_LOG(SG_FLIGHT, SG_INFO, "Scenery loaded, will init FDM"); _impl->init(); if (_impl->get_bound()) { _impl->unbind(); } _impl->bind(); evil_global_fdm_state = _impl; fgSetBool("/sim/fdm-initialized", true); fgSetBool("/sim/signals/fdm-initialized", true); } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
