[Flightgear-devel] A little "emergency" encountered inside FlightGear
I was practicing landing the unlandable today, and ran into a little emergency. It is a bit amusing and I thought I'd share it with you guys. http://www.students.yorku.ca/~ampere/fgfs-screen-001.jpg http://www.students.yorku.ca/~ampere/fgfs-screen-003.jpg As you can see, there is a problem with the main landing gears on the 747. The bug appears again after I restarted FlightGear. I have never seen this happening until I updated my CVS version of SimGear and FlightGear yesterday. I haven't touched anything in the data directory, so I think this might be FlightGear/SimGear related. In addition, each time I press F3, two screenshots are made: one ordinary screenshot, and another with a dialog box which looks similar to this (http://www.students.yorku.ca/~ampere/fgfs-screen-004.jpg). As a side note, I made it safely back to the airport, braked, and taxied to the tarmac. Those who have had trouble braking on large jets may want to hold Shift+B on touch down. Provided that Caps-Lock is off, holding Shift+B will toggle the brake between on and off states, thus preventing the nose wheel from sinking into the runway. Enabling Caps-Lock and hold B alone will also work.

Looking at a patch commit to simgear/scene/model at Sept. 25th I see there was a patch to set the factor to 0.0 by default which doesn't seem such a great idea after all. I've backed out that patch again, could you test it for me?

Antilock brakes simulated with key repeat - I like it :-) -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Does anyone have this problem as well?
