[Flightgear-devel] Main Airports Conflict with Graphic Card 6600GT !!!
I will tell you the most FGFS incredible history: I have discovered a conflict between main Airports and the Nvidia graphic card 6600GT. I cannot explain what and why. Does anybody can help me to understand ? With the last Nvidia driver (7664) that graphic card perform fgfs at a 70 fps speed and decrease to suddenly 2 fps. That low performance appears when we look toward a MAIN Airport or if the Aircraft is on a such Airport (it does not happen near a secondary Airport) -ie: KSFO runway 28 ,running for take off == first 2 fps during about 100 meters and == suddenly 60 fps continuously In order to prove it i deleted some suspects Airports from the scenery directory SOME.btg.gz taking off from a little airport. The result was good: the aircraft can fly with a very valuable fps over and toward the same places without difficulties (more than 60 fps). What differences between a main Airport and a little one could explain that very curious effect ? ( Equipments: NAV ?, RADIO ?, LIGHT?,...) I have tested, after deleting airports objects (tower, beacon, windsock,..) and after deleting textures, no change. Theses are not the explanation, what else ? Before coming back to my dusty 5200.

It uses the lowest landing gear AGL distance, which these days comes from the new groundcache code. I assure you it's not using the view location for AGL altitude, as evidenced by the fact that the aircraft doesn't fall through the terrain when you switch views. :) As far as the net-fdm issue goes: you may be stuck. The FDM is the piece of code responsible for deciding on terrain interaction under the FlightGear architecture (it has to be, if you think about it -- otherwise no one is in charge of gear force). How does your external FDM make its own decisions about ground interaction? If you can't get the answer there, you may have to write some C++ code to query the ground cache on your own.

As far as i understand the preference.xml content, We do have that property enhanced-lighting type=boolfalse/enhanced-lighting AND In the fg menu i did not indicate Enhanced Runway Lighting. To conclude about that problem, and before i come back to my old NVIDIA 5200 Does anybody can tell me, how may i deactivate the runway landing lights ? thanks -- Gerard ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Yet another way to have fun with the excellent Hunter and Seahawk! The way it travels through land is a bit disconcerting, mind you ;-) AJ If you accept to come to 9.8 , the carrier can be fully operational with a patch for landing and take off. I use it, it is great. I did only a little modification == carrier heading in order to keep it of going through land. -- Gerard ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
[Flightgear-devel] NASAL update YASim parameters
Is there a way to tell YASim to add or subtract some drag? I want to add some drag to the superfort when the bomb doors open. They were supposed to really wreck the airflow, though not as bad as the lg which doubled the drag!

Well, right now you could model them as landing gear, which act like flat plate drag objects with the size of their length (just put the gear contact points somewhere where they can't actually touch the ground). Having a speedbrake subobject was something that was really supposed to have been in the code from the beginning. It's really easy, but I just never got around to it. Give me a bit to, er, remember how the code works and maybe I can get it added. Other aircraft could use it too.

[Flightgear-devel] b29 CVS
If I start putting weekly updates to the superfort on my website, will someone volunteer to commit them? I'm planning on just uploading it from a cron job which can send the lucky contestant e-mail reminders if desired.

Josh Babcock wrote: I don't think the LG thing will work, they have to be extended independently of the LG. Just tie a different property to the EXTEND input on the gear. Nothing in YASim is hardcoded; all user inputs are configurable. Speedbrakes would be great, though I would request that there be capacity for multiple independent ones, just on the general principal of flexibility. Mais Oui. Just like the gear. :) Andy ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
Re: [Flightgear-devel] After crash , Restart ?
I believe you are seeing the results of a new capability that Dave Culp
added to JSBSim recently.
Aaah, I sense something: This might be a means to automagically
re-incarnate crashed AI aircraft :-)
Actually I added the reset-after-crash to my OV-10 sim because it will be used
by the public, and they will crash often and not know why the crashed
airplane is floating under the surface of the earth. I added it to JSBSim,
thinking that nobody else wanted subterranean floating airplanes. Here's the
code location so you can remove it:
See source/src/FDM/JSBSim/JSBSim.cxx in the function named
copy_from_JSBSim(), at about line 848:
// force a sim reset if crashed (altitude AGL 0)
if (get_Altitude_AGL() 0.0) {
SGPropertyNode* node = fgGetNode(/sim/presets, true);
globals-get_commands()-execute(old-reinit-dialog, node);
}
It uses some pre-existing reset code that I found bound to a key in
keyboard.xml. It seems to work well here, although the report of
the /fdm/jsbsim property node being cloned after every reset is a problem.
You can comment out the code completely, or if you need lat/lon for the crash
site you can add that as console output in the above block of code.
I'll look into the node cloning today if I get a chance.

It could easily check another property and then decide whether to use
the old behavior or automatically reset. That property could have a
user-friendly setting in preferences.xml, and everyone else could change
it locally.
