Re: [Flightgear-devel] how to set a planes altitude?
I've added a short section to the Wiki on how to start FlightGear in the air. The SeedWiki is doing strange things with formatting, but I don't have time to figure it out right now: http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?doc=Starting%20in%20the%20Airwikiid=2418 We should all make a habit of answering questions like these in the Wiki, since that's the easiest place to keep information up to date.

Excellent idea. I have some questions on the provider though: can we count on the SeedWiki being available long term? Would our work get backed up regularly? Also, isn't there some thing where SeedWiki automatically deletes your stuff if you don't post often enough?

Also, isn't there some thing where SeedWiki automatically deletes your stuff if you don't post often enough? They move it to a dead area, but you can reactivate it. I have no problem with choosing a different (free) Wiki provider, if anyone has one in mind. We should back up the site ourselves from time to time using wget or similar. Of course, a Wiki provider who generates a daily tarball would be nice. Maybe we could even convince Curt to install a Wiki on the FlightGear server (it can be as easy as a single Perl CGI), and then we'll have more control over it.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] how to set a planes altitude?
Thanks Erik, With your suggestion things appear to be working. If anything strange occurs i will be sure to ask. I added fgSetBool(/sim/presets/onground, false); to my code taken from --in-air. I looked around the code trying to figure out how --in-air effects things but with no luck. For now I will just accept it as black magic.

[Flightgear-devel] how to set a planes altitude?
Hi, I am tried setting the planes altitude with the following code: fgSetDouble(/position/altitude-ft, Alt) This worked find when using the ufo but when i tried using the sesna it no longer worked. I then manually changed the property /fdm/jsbsim/position/h-sl-ft and again things worked. Problem is when I try to edit the altitude using: fgSetDouble(/fdm/jsbsim/position/h-sl-ft, Alt) The altitude is not changed. Does anyone know a foolproof way of setting the planes altitude?
