This problem was reported couple times on the IRC recently, so I think your

Don't know, as I am not a programmer, but I do know that RenderTexture.cpp 
could be written in such a way to allow 3D clouds to work with graphic cards 
other than Nvidia.  The first implementation of the 3D clouds works with 
ATI -- with opensource driver, too!

Hi all,
Within the last week or 2 , Flightgear has been crashing when I press V
to change views I get this error message:

Attempting to schedule tiles for bogus lon and lat = (-1000,0)
This is a FATAL error. Exiting!

Has anyone else been experiencing this , or is my system going haywire ?

OK, I have tried this out and identified the problem. It's with the landing
gear. Don't use it, and you're OK!

ha. ;-)

Seriously, it seems to be there only if/when you use the brakes, and further
it seems to only be there at initialization. I've tried it from a rolling
speed - braking and stopping, and the jitter seemed not as bad. I can
reproduce it in the standalone version of JSBSim using a custom script. That
way, it will be much easier for me to develop a fix (and I still can't run
OpenGL apps pending resolution of my video card problem).

I'll be at the AIAA Modeling and Simulation conference in Keystone CO next
week. I believe that at least a couple of papers are being presented about
landing gear modeling. I may pick up some ideas there. If not, I may have
some time to do some debugging using my wife's notebook, if I get up early
enough...

[Flightgear-devel] RTT issue with ATI cards (3d clouds)

2006-08-18 Thread Jocelyn Couetdic
Hi, I hope I'm posting to the right ml.
I tried to find out what was wrong with ATI cards, and the 3d clouds
code. For information, my system is a laptop with an ATI Mobility X700
graphics card. I run a debian testing, with a 2.6.16 "home build"
kernel, and I use the ATI proprietary driver (fglrx) version 8.27.10. I
also have a winXP, with which 3d clouds work well. I use flightgear
0.9.10

I did some quick and dirty debugging in the RenderTexture class (using
the TestRenderTexture program), and find out, that the reason it doesn't
work, is that neither GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, or GLX_SGIX_pbuffer extensions
are supported by the ATI GLX implementation :
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
server glx extensions:
GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, 
GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_OML_swap_method,
GLX_SGI_make_current_read, 
GLX_SGIS_multisample, GLX_SGIX_hyperpipe, GLX_SGIX_swap_barrier, 
GLX_SGIX_fbconfig
client glx vendor string: ATI
client glx version string: 1.3
client glx extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, 
GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample,
GLX_ATI_pixel_format_float, 
GLX_ATI_render_texture
GLX version: 1.2
GLX extensions:
GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, 
GLX_ARB_multisample
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON X700 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5946 (8.27.10)
OpenGL extensions:
[snip]

This causes the initialize method of a RenderTexture object to fail
quite early on (in _VerifyExtensions()). As a result, the bbcache code
returns this during init :
"bbcache:Initialize failed, RTT not available for 3D clouds"

So here are a few questions :
-> I am totally off ? (I have absolutely no background in OpenGl
whatsoever). Is there somebody using those ATI driver, who can confirm
that those two extensions are not there ? (and that it's not some @#!%
driver installation bug on my system)

-> If this is indeed the problem, should someone file a ticket to ATI to
ask for support of those extensions in coming releases of the drivers ?

-> Or should the 3d clouds code be written to use the FramebufferObject,
which seems to be (from what I could gather on the net) a replacement
for older off-screen rendering and Rendering To Texture using pbuffers
extensions.
BTW, this GL_EXT_framebuffer_object is supported by the ATI drivers.

Regards,

No. Why would it have to be an FG dialog box?! Isn't the kst window
enough?

Yes, but only for that. A closer integration with fgfs isn't really
desirable. Too OS dependent, and buys you nothing.

The obvious next question is, could we display the png in a FG dialog box?

I'm thinking in terms of a landing tutorial that displays the student's
ground track and airspeed at the end...

It could be a nice demo for a booth/kiosk.

Err ... of course this should be a function that calls itself:

  var ubody = props.globals.getNode("/velocities/uBody-fps", 1);
  var yaccel = props.globals.getNode("/accelerations/pilot/y-accel-fps_sec", 1);
  loop = func {
  print("PLOT ", ubody.getValue(), " ", yaccel.getValue());
  settimer(loop, 0);
  }
  loop();

[Flightgear-devel] Making of: jitter.png (Unix)

2006-08-18 Thread Melchior FRANZ
Maybe someone's interested in one way to make nice live streaming graphs
from fgfs values, like I did for this image here:

  http://members.aon.at/mfranz/jitter.png  [20 kB]

Used software:
  fgfs, awk, kst (http://kst.kde.org/ -- free & GPL)


(A) make sure fgfs outputs the relevant data. Logging could certainly be
used for that, but I'm not half as familiar with it as with Nasal, so
I simply put a line like the following in a Nasal file:

  settimer(func {
  print("PLOT ", getprop("/velocities/uBody-fps"), " ",
  getprop("/accelerations/pilot/y-accel-fps_sec"));
  }, 0);

The actual code looked a bit different, but this should do it. It
outputs lines like the following:

  PLOT 0.1429881410812092 0.004077885088460977


(B) create a FIFO and pipe the fgfs output there, filtering out all other
lines, as well as removing the "PLOT" marker along the way:

  $ mkfifo /tmp/fifo
  $ fgfs --aircraft=OV10_USAFE 2>&1|awk '/^PLOT /{print $2" "$3}' >/tmp/fifo


(C) now wait until fgfs is started and the buffer contains enough values. You
can start the OV10 engines in the meantime. Then start kst on the live 
stream:

  $ kst -y 1 -y 2 -m 1 -n 1000 stdin http://sel.as-us.falkag.net/sel?cmd=lnk&kid=120709&bid=263057&dat=121642

[Flightgear-devel] bo105 wihtout pedals

2006-08-18 Thread Maik Justus
Hi,

all people, who want to fly the bo without padels, can change the line 93
 dst0=".0065" dst1=".0065"/>
in bo105.xml to
 dst0=".35" dst1="-.05"/>


This adds the throttle input to the pedals, dst0 ist the value at 
maximum collective and dst1 is the value at minimum collective. The 
values are not optimized, but should work.

Keep in mind, that you loose realism with this, but without pedals it is 
a good choice.

Maik

Here's a graph that illustrates it:

  http://members.aon.at/mfranz/jitter.png  [20 kB]

Command line was

  $ fgfs --aircraft=OV10_USAFE --airport=krhv --disable-real-weather-fetch

and a few settings in local preferences.xml (nothing relevant). SimGear &
FlightGear from CVS/HEAD, of course. Plotted properties are:

  /velocities/uBody-fps
  /accelerations/pilot/y-accel-fps_sec

No other part of fgfs messed with them AFAIK, only JSBSim. The only thing
that I did was accelerating and braking. Nothing else. (y-axis is fgfs frames,
that is, one pair of value output 14 times per second. Yeah, bad fps! :-)

Yes... the Lightning also suffers from this jitter when the parking brake is 
applied.  It's not as bad as with previous versions of JSBSim (where it could 
rapidly escalate and flip the whole plane over) but it's there and a bit 
annoying.

I haven't played that much with the gear constants - they seem about right 
when landing, so I'm hesitant to mess about with them; but it could be that 
some of the jitter could be reduced that way?
