[Flightgear-devel] Mac OS X: at a loss

2003-01-30 Thread David Drum
Hello everyone,

If you've not worked with FlightGear under Mac OS X, delete now.

OK, both of you that are left reading this, thanks.

I'll make a long story short: every attempt I have made to compile
FlightGear, whether 0.9.1 or from CVS, fails in the final link
in the same way: ld is unable to resolve the symbols gen_leaf and
ssgVtxTable::ssgVtxTable.  I have attempted the compile in every
permutation I can imagine, which is not a few.  More importantly,
I have attempted the compile on a fresh install of OS, etc. with as
little as possible installed.  Same error.  I can only conclude that I
am introducing the problem somewhere in the same way each time.

I am installing:
- Mac OS X 10.2.0 (minus all extra languages and applications)
- Mac OS X Update Combo 10.2.3
(at this point I change my shell to bash)
- Dec 2002 Dev Tools CD (plus BSD SDK)
- StuffIt STD 7.01 OS X Install
- Fink 0.5.0a
(at this point I add the Fink init.sh to my .bashrc, and source it)
- cvs-1.11.2.tar.gz (to support fink, installed via fink)
- dlcompat-20021117.tar.gz (to support fink, installed via fink)
- X4211src.tar.bz2 (via fink)
(everything below is installed in a work directory in my $HOME)
- plib-1.6.0.tar.gz
- metakit-2.4.3-33.tar.gz
- SimGear (via CVS)
- FlightGear (via CVS)

Here is the final link in the compile and resulting messages:

Dang! You're fast at this. That one was on my list. Glad you got this
together. I may not be able to get them into JSBSim CVS right away but
they'll surely end up there within a day or two. Where did you get the
data? Nicolai's book has T-38 data. Is that where you got it?

[Flightgear-devel] T-38 flight model for JSBSim

2003-01-30 Thread David Culp
Here's a Northrop T-38A flight model for the JSBSim FDM.   It flies nicely.  
Takeoff with flaps at first detent.
Rotate to 10 degrees pitch at about 140 knots.
Raise gear when airborne. 
Raise flaps at 200 knots.
Trim stab down to maintain 10 degree climb and accelerate to 300 knots.
Climb at 300 knots.

For landing put gear and flaps out at 200 knots.
Full flaps at 170 knots.
Fly final at 160 knots.
Touchdown at 150 knots.

Try aerobraking without getting airborne again.

FDM is that part that controls the airplane's dynamic, so we can create a

It's fun.  The cub is really a blast anyway,  and it flys fine from back
there.  Having the door off does help.  Back seat view really shows off the
fine modeling as well.  Actually, I tried doing this a while back without
realizing that was the proper solo config.  Haven't tried landing that way yet
but I'm sure if you nose down for a sec to see that the runway is really down
there,  it shouldn't be a problem.   The eye position you have looks about
right...might even move back a bit further (this said by someone who has never
flown a cub or anything solo).

BTW if you select j3cub-yasim, instead of j3cub-3d-yasim, you fly from the
front seat.  Not sure if that was intended.

Best,

Jim
