[Flightgear-devel] glass cockpit
Jim looks great, just like the real thing. 1. they are ptich limit bars or symbol, you will get to stick shaker or stall if you pitch up to them. 2. On the 737 the dg or compass has 7 modes 1. nav (full)/ looks like hsi but really showing track not heading and relation to stored route not vor or ils info 2. vor ils (full)/ looks like regular hsi and acts like one, plus shows magnetic heading 3. nav (expanded)/ same as above but you only see half the compass 4. vor ils (expanded) " " 5. map /this mode shows cours line and little triagle which is the aircraft, also shows track not magnetic heading. 6. center map same as above but full compass rose. 7. plan /static map 3. Compass does not behave like wiskey compass. Its getting signals from ring laser gyro and irs. So it does not drift turn wrong way or display any of those things. ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
[Flightgear-devel] is it me or hsi
Innis Oh ok, but I am some what confused now because I updated from cvs last night after reading your message, and do not get the error your talking about. You did the following fgfs --aircraft=c310-ifr , and you still get this? If so are using cvs version or 9.2? In either case its in the xml instrument files not the c code. You could also try the hi-res 172 panel which has the best hsi, and see if that works.

[Flightgear-devel] is it me or hsi
Innis There are a lot of problems with the hsi, the nav does not work correctly either. I did work on fixing some of this and making a more correct set-up and put it on the c310-ifr aircraft if you want to try it. That one is still working in the cvs version. I think if you just replace hsi with hsi2 in what ever panel you want a working hsi, that should do the trick. Actually has a small update for it to if I could email to some one. I just moved the heading and course knobs a little. Paul ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

[Flightgear-devel] current bugs (hsi-fix)
Yea, it was just a couple of lines missing, that were included for the compass card but not the hsi. Then when I put them in it messed up the to-from flag, so I just copied that stuff from the other nav instruments and made some adjustments and it worked. I use it with all the aircraft that have an hsi, I like it better than the default one. If you want to use it to one of the panels that already have a hsi just change the hsi.xml line to hsi2.xml.

[Flightgear-devel] screen-shot for fun and question?
Hi I enjoy flying the seahawk so much just wanted to post few screen shots!, plus I had started working on a panel for it back when lee first added it. I took so long that I see some one has already done a good panel for it. So a does any want to use any of the panel I did or should I just plan on using it for myself? The only thing I prefer about it, is it does not obscure your view for landing or low level flying. Other than that the hsi and attitude indicator are bigger which helps people who can't see well like myself. here are the screen shots http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-011.jpeg http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-012.jpeg http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-015.jpeg http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-016.jpeg Paul ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
[Flightgear-devel] current bugs (hsi-fix)
Major A [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue, 4 Mar 2003 21:44:05 + Hi, here are a couple bugs that make flying FlightGear rather difficult but must be rather easy to fix: - the main nav display is clamped incorrectly. That is, the yellow indicators rotate nicely with the compass rose when heading is between 0 and 180 but behave like the compass is at 0 or 180 when you leave that range. Rather useless as most common approaches are westerly, and the localizer would be so much easier to use were the indicator pointing in the right direction... Well think I found the problem and if John or any one wants to try a re-worked hsi for the c310-ifr it is here. http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/newhsi.tar.gz Also in the hsi2.xml file you can use one of 2 compass-roses I have one commented out so you can choose the one you prefer. One is the hi-res compass which has nice border around it and other is the regular compass rose. here is screen shot of both. http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-001.jpeg http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-008.jpeg This does not add any new files just over writes the old ones.

[Flightgear-devel] c310 more stable
Dave I tried the updated c310 tonight, and to me it seemed very stable and a big improvement.

[Flightgear-devel] c310 more stable
Dave I have not had a chance to update to the latest cvs version yet, but will tonight and will let you know as soon as I do. One of the manuals I have is dated 1969, and the other does not have a date but list models covered. They look to be from about the same era though. Paul ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
[Flightgear-devel] c-310 more stable
I couldn't agree more, I flew the c-310 back in the 80's on a night mail run, and found it very stable to fly. It had sort of a big airplane feel and pretty much stayed were you put it. The other thing that I think is off a little on the flight-gear model, is when you put full flaps and gear down, its difficult to keep the airspeed above blue line in level flight! With both engines at full power I don't think thats accurate. With the short stuby wings it did seem to need more power than other twins, It was one of the only light twins I remember needing to keep power in till touch down. The only thing that I remember standing out about it was it did not do very well on one engine, I only saw this in training. I think fully loaded on a summer day, you would be in a lot trouble if you lost an engine in one. I don't recall it having a yaw damper though. I have a owners manual I could send you if you if you want it. Hopefully I won't be flying mail and bank checks at night again although the way things are in the airline industry right now I better not say never.

[Flightgear-devel] hsi and question
John Did you ever get a chance to look at the hsi files? any if not I have sort reworked it any how so that now it loads the hi resolution compass card, and I moved the glideslope pointer to the left side, which I think is technically more correct. I have seen it both ways though. My other question is if I wanted to add a red glide slope flag that covers the pointer when there is no signal, can I just add the xml code, or does this have to be built into the flight gear source code? Any how I will try to finish this next week, in mean time here is sceen shoot of it on the c310u3a-3d. http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-009.jpeg Paul ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

Do we have any objections to using this, or should we add this and keep the old one too? Comments? John Thanks for response and If it works correctly I set it up so it loads the old c310-vfr panel, with the changes I made. I renamed it c310-ifr and it loads from comand line with that. That way I did not mess up any of the other c310s'. I did it on the current 9.1 version of flightgear. Seems to work ok in the other aircraft too but the 3d cockpits were it border seems to wiggle a little. Don't know why that is?

[Flightgear-devel] rmi
Hi Pretty much done messing with the hsi, but also moved the rmi to the adf position on the c310 2d panel. Makes the adf approaches much easier and is what the original hsi designer probably had in mind. The c172 instrument panel is perfect the way it is for ifr work, but for ifr in the c310 I think this set-up will work better than the previous panel if any one interested. Screenshot is on approach into anchorage, and if you look at adf/rmi you see the heading matches up with the hsi heading , and the adf needle is pointing back at the outer marker. http://members.verizon.net/~vze3b42n/fgfs-screen-002.jpeg Paul ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
