I haven't touched anything in the data directory, so I think this might be

Looking at a patch commit to simgear/scene/model at Sept. 25th I see 
there was a patch to set the factor to 0.0 by default which doesn't seem 
such a great idea after all.


I've backed out that patch again, could you test it for me?

Antilock brakes simulated with key repeat - I like it :-)

I have updated my copy of SimGear and FlightGear again, but the problem is 
still there.

Does anyone have this problem as well?

[Flightgear-devel] A little emergency encountered inside FlightGear

2005-09-27 Thread Ampere K. Hardraade
I was practicing landing the unlandable today, and ran into a little 
emergency.  It is a bit amusing and I thought I'd share it with you guys.

As you can see, there is a problem with the main landing gears on the 747.  
The bug appears again after I restarted FlightGear.  I have never seen this 
happening until I updated my CVS version of SimGear and FlightGear yesterday.  
I haven't touched anything in the data directory, so I think this might be 
FlightGear/SimGear related.

In addition, each time I press F3, two screenshots are made: one ordinary 
screenshot, and another with a dialog box which looks similar to this 
(http://www.students.yorku.ca/~ampere/fgfs-screen-004.jpg).

As a side note, I made it safely back to the airport, braked, and taxied to 
the tarmac.  Those who have had trouble braking on large jets may want to 
hold Shift+B on touch down.  Provided that Caps-Lock is off, holding Shift+B
