RE: [Flightgear-devel] Next scenery rebuild.
- There should no longer be any wildly oscillating runway surfaces. - There should be no runway surfaces with abrupt cliffs in them. Sorry to barge in, I have to strange ones: ENDU and ENNK. Has the above mention something to do with these? - We have added beautifully modeled rotating beacons, wind socks, and control towers to most airports that have them. The location of these items are stored in Robin's database, so if the position of these items are wrong, we can submit fixes for them. Again, I'm being selfish by keeping it domestic: I miss Bodø and Svalbard (Longyearbyen), ENBD and ENSB respectively. Is an airport gone in Robin's database does it mean there's no chance to output the scenery? If it's in early stages I'd like to air ideas as they pop up. Thanks for the time and effort put into this, just *wow*. - In the new build I have chopped up long polygon edges so that they can follow the underlying terrain shape much better. Now we can have land cover divisions (or roads) through complex terrain without adding unsightly artifacts. In the process of doing this work, I found/fixed a couple bugs in our polygon handling. Does anyone know how this compares to MS Flightsim's scenery? I know that for the Norwegian fjords they have to build "stairs" near mountains, that means in the bottom of a fjord the sealevel was at 300 ft in the old days (gone days). I know FlighGear is different but just how different, to a non-geek like me. :-) Does anyone know how this compares to MS Flightsim's scenery?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Some sound problems under Alsa
From my experience, tuner modules are more or less the same, at least they worked very fine (a bit faster, better and neater:)) out of the box when I upgraded from 2.4.21. I live in Norway and I need to hand-adjust contrast/colors with every channel. I'm off-topic now. :-) Where are you? Sorry about that, I couldn't figure out your .domain Another big change in 2.6 is that ide-scsi module isn't needed anymore. k3b already supports new 2.6 kernel atapi devices addresses. Shock! Does that mean I must decide which kernel to run all the time? I use to loiter until the next Slackware releases These are my encountered 2 cents of 2.6 kernel. In my opinion, 2.6 kernel is really sweet. :) I still have keyboard hangs and stuff. Flightgear runs until I play dart, then what... What I did was feeding .configure from kernel 2.4.22 to 2.6.1, is it sane enough or not so good? FWIW I'm glad Nvidia made their driver good for 2.6 That's my 2.6 c worth. ;-) Regards, Roger Andreassen, Norway. _ MSN Messenger http://www.msn.no/messenger Den korteste veien mellom deg og dine venner ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
RE: [Flightgear-devel] Some sound problems under Alsa
I was formerly using flightgear-devel but someone suggested to adress technical problems here. ;-) Since Slackware will use Alsa sound from version 9.1 and onwards I would like to mention a sound problem with some planes. Running --aircraft=c310-yasim I'll get no plane sound, just the OM and MM tweets. Let's say Alsa "just works" under the 2.6 kernels. Matevz used to have my Alsa problem: http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2004-February/025713.html Yes, we know about the cause, but I don't have the technical skill to know "why". (I hope this isn't trolling): http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2004-February/025713.html I had no hang or freeze, but sometimes FG exited with no message. Anyway, for the the Nvidia card to work with 2.6, the newest driver is mandatory. Is it OK to recommend all Alsa-users to move to kernel 2.6? I did bc I caught word of Slackware 9.1 being 2.6-ready. Cool interface for KDE users btw. :-) Is it anything vital which need re-compiling when running kernel 2.6.x on a regular basis? I use a tuner card as a PVR by a cronjob and those modules wouldn't come up as usual. Slackware uses a script in /etc/rc.d to load sound modules and it's such a dog to switch between the kernels. If the right man used to Slackware could give a hint... I'd like to check out that F-16 now. Regards, Roger Andreassen. _ MSN Hotmail http://www.hotmail.com Med markedets beste SPAM-filter.

On January the 22nd I wrote: Since Slackware will use Alsa sound from version 9.1 and onwards I would like to mention a sound problem with some planes. Running --aircraft=c310-yasim I'll get no plane sound, just the OM and MM tweets. Sorry, I would been clear about what the sound problem actually is. :o) Running Flightgear with Alsa I have very little sound from the airplanes. I hear the the engine and tyre squeeks from the default Cessna and jet-engine sounds from the 747. It would be very nice to know how sound is transported in Flightgear and how I could persuade the other planes to send the same kind of sound as the two working planes. When the next kernel hits us we have to live with Alsa I think. I can redo OSS in Slackware 9.0 since there's too much work involved to remove Alsa from Slack 9.1. My spec is a Soundblaster Live!

[Flightgear-devel] A Logitech joystick on the loose!
Hello, I have a Logitech joystick on the loose. It's a silvery/black, four-legged USB wired Logitech. js_demo says: Joystick 0: "Logitech Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and I think the wireless 'brother' says the same. USB don't know what's outside the transmitter... The buttons are a bit funny. 1 5 O 6 3 4 --- \2 '1' is at the index finger and '2' would be the thumb one. 'O' is the viewfinder. See why I had to map the trim 5/3 and the flaps 6/4? That's my standard. ;-) I can see that driver in the CVS from January the 14th, but 'Logitech' is just mentioned once: "Logitech Extreme 3D Pro". Is that the correct way? Here's my attempt:
[Flightgear-devel] Some sound problems under Alsa
Hi, I was formerly using flightgear-devel but someone suggested to adress technical problems here. ;-) Since Slackware will use Alsa sound from version 9.1 and onwards I would like to mention a sound problem with some planes. Running --aircraft=c310-yasim I'll get no plane sound, just the OM and MM tweets. I've tried the very same data partition with Slackware 9.0 which uses OSS sound. All the planes have sound working there. Then I move the Slackware 9.0 binary to Slackware 9.1 and the mentioned sound stops working, but it flies nonetheless. So how does Flightgear transmit sound? It would be nice to learn how to sort (with all respect...) the 'working' planes from the planes which misses sound. The 747-yasim jet sounds work in Slackware too, for example. But if I pause and restart FG I have no sound at all. From the top of my head I'm looking at the sound header, as I've learned how to cope/avoid the 'sox' utility. That one almost threw me off using Linux. Sorry. :-) I have a Soundblaster Live! Player and OSS is hard to get get working in the current Slackware. I start 'rexima' (the console mixer program) and all I get is Line1, Line2 and Line3. As I redo Alsa it works just fine.
