[Flightgear-devel] Presentation -- shuttle landing simulator
Hello everyone, Over the last academic year, I have been involved in working with FlightGear and JSBSIM to build a shuttle landing simulator for the Challenger Center at our University. Our project is funded by a grant from the Wolf Aviation Foundation (www.wolf-aviation.org). Jon asked that I send a link to the presentation I recently made to the IEEE Computer Society and the Graduate Council. You may view the presentation here: http://genesis.cs.utc.edu/~wolf/WolfProject%20Version%204.ppt (feel free to use it as you wish). It has some screen shots towards the end of our VR equipment, and the work we've done on the software. We are no where near complete and are hoping for further funding for next year. I had queried the developers list a few weeks ago about a problem we were having with the 3d i-glasses and the stereo buffer. I have resolved that issue. I found that it works as long as FlightGear is not run in full screen mode. I have to say that being involved in such a project this year has tremendously enhanced my education. I have a new appreciation for open source software and I have learned a lot about the open source community as well. Thank you for all the help you've given me over the past year.

Not to sound picky, but I'm sure many people on the list either don't have access to power point, or do not have easy access to a machine that runs (or has a copy of) powerpoint. I fall into the second category myself. Can power point presentations be exported as html, pdf, postscript, or some other format that is more commonly accessible to people on non-windows platforms? If so, would someone be willing to do the conversion and post back a link? I'll post separate links to the images and will convert the rest to html. Where would you like me to send the links? The document will view in Internet Explorer. Dawn Dawn ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
[Flightgear-devel] 3d graphics hardware support
Has anyone tried using the 3d i-glasses with flightgear? We have a NVIDIA GeForce2 Pro graphics card which allows a 3d stereo buffer to be enabled through the driver. Whenever I enable the stereo buffer, flightgear locks up. We are running under Windows 2000.

We have to use the mouse to look around. Dawn: is this the capability y'all have or are working towards? The version we are running is 7.8. We are using an head tracker to look around in flightgear. It works the same as the mouse, though. Is this what you are asking, Jon? The problem with the glasses seems to lie when we enable the stereo buffer on our graphics card to render the scene in 3d. We can view FG in the glasses without enabling the buffer, but the view just 2d -- it treats the glasses like another monitor. The 3d buffer on the graphics card is suppose to be a no code way to enable software to look 3d within the glasses. When we enable the buffer, it locks up FG and basically crashes the machine. I hope this explains my problem better.

[Flightgear-devel] Panel configuration question
I'm trying to set up some compound conditions. I've looked through the documentation - Users Guide to Panel Configuration, and can not find an example of a compound condition. The parser doesn't seem to like what I'm doing. Here's an example: event n=3 nametext3/name and condition less-than-equals property/position/altitude-ft/property value77900/value /less-than-equals greater-than property/position/altitude-ft/property value77000/value /greater-than /condition /and callbackshow-text/callback parameterManeuver orbiter to burn attitude./parameter /event Any suggestions?

[Flightgear-devel] Creating a sub window
Has anyone ever tried incorporating a sub window into flightgear? If so, is there some sort of trick? I have a sub window running with flightgear, but it appears that something in FG is overriding what happens inside the sub window. Please excuse my posting to the wrong list.
