Re: [Flightgear-devel] Linux - Solaris && AMD64-SPARC64 interfacing

2006-12-11 Thread Vikas N Kumar
Hi Martin
Have you been able to compile the simgear/props directory with the Sun
Studio 11 compilers ?
I am getting the static class member initialized twice error in
props.cxx "SGRawValue<>::DefaultValue is initialized twice" for all
the types explicitly defined.

Do you know the fix for this or is this a bug with the Sun compilers
and will I have to locate a patch ?  Apparently in some really old SUn
compilers this was a bug.

Also have you tried compiling Simgear with -xO4 option ? lots of
linking errors occur. Right now running configure has set the compile
options by default to "-g" which is debug mode. I have not tried
explicitly using -xO2, but i will try that when i can get simgear to
build with -g first.

Regards,
Vikas

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Modeling a Flexwing Microlight

Many trikes has a trim function, just like all non-trainer hang glider has
nowadays. (I know the Airborne trike we use for aerotowing has it.) This
trim is usually operated by a line, the trim line, which is drawn to the
speedbar (on a HG) or on a sidebar (on a trike) and most noticeably it
adjusts the tension of the cross beam (which is divided in two parts
connected with a hinge at the centerline).  (Compare with the "kick" or
sheet on a sailboat mainsail.) There are however more functions coupled
with the trim than cross beam tension. On kingpost HG's (like your trike),
there is something called "luff lines" connected to the trailing edge via
the kingpost, on the newer topless hg's there are "sprogs" at the wing tips
filling the same function. Luff lines and sprogs act like an elevator trim
under certain circumstances, and is primary a safety detail to prevent an
uncontrollable dive. The setting of those are also altered along with the
trim setting.

So the trim on a HG or trikes changes:

1. The camber of the whole wing. (cross beam tension) This affects L/D ratio,
stall speed.
2. Apex (follows from sail tension) and dihedral (not much).
3. The elevator trim function of sprogs or luff lines.

Your trike may have the cross beam fixed to the keel (can't tell by the
photo) and would then be a bit stiffer in handling (but more course stable)
than a hang glider with the trim fully loose, but with a floating cross
beam (i.e. not connected to the keel) as all hang gliders have today, the
first effect of moving the weight to one side (shifting the keel sideways
with respect to the cross-beam and wing tubes) is that the wing you move
away from gets less camber and the other gets more camber. This in turn
makes the outer wing tip fly a bit faster than the inner wing tip,
generating some rudder and aileron effect. A hang glider with a
non-floating cross beam is rather slow in turns.

This difference in camber between the wing halves is less the more the
pilot tighten the trim.  So we can add a fourth function of the HG trim:

4. Sets the amount of rudder and aileron effect from shifting weight
sideways -- indirectly by adjusting the cross beam tension and thus the
difference in tension of the trailing edge on each wing half.

In short: when circling thermals or coming in for landing, you release the
trim, when flying straight between thermals you tighten the trim (fully or
to a wanted trim speed).

But that is perhaps a bit beside the point -- a trike pilot doesn't have to
worry much about L/D ratio, and there is plenty of weight for steering with
pure CG shift on a trike.

> So, should I use YASim or JSBSim for this project?

Or larcsim? The only hang glider model in FG (airwaveXtreme150, a larcsim
model) has an invisible motor+propeller attached to it, so we could call it
"a trike". It doesn't have a trim function anyway. (I'm quite sure the
original has.)

Does that require me to have the cvs/osg version of flightgear?
I'm running 0.9.10 stable, without osg...

I've given up on terragear, because several dependencies were not
available for SUSE 10.1, and compiling from source fails on those.

I've also considered fgsd, as that is reputed to be able to import
x-plane runway definitions from taxidraw, and export those back to
flightgear scenery directly. Is this correct? That also is not able
to be installed on my system currently (needs FLU, FLU fails to
build)...  :-(

Does anyone else on this list have SUSE 10.1 and the same troubles
I do? I've read elsewhere that SUSE is not too friendly with source
that might compile happily on fedora/debian/gentoo etc...

Kind regards,

Chris Wilkinson, Brisbane, Australia.
