Re: [Flightgear-devel] strange behavior of 0.9.11-pre1

2007-05-28 Thread Ladislav Michnovič

Hello.

I've tried the latest FG pre1 version, but it was rather strange.
Every 20 second screen flashes an it looked like it was reseted. I
also see some artifacts, attaching screenshot. If I changed the view
strange  overlaying triangles were visible on the sky. Does anybody
similar problems?

 It would be useful to create flightgear.osg and flightgear.plib directories 
 so by keeping none compatible settings apart for win32 users !!

You could just write two batch files: fg.osg.bat and fg.plib.bat that
rename your FlightGear.osg or Flightgear.plib directories to
Flightgear.org before running fgrun. Takes a minute, two lines for each
file and gives you two different profiles without any further effort
(apart from using these batch files for starting FG of course)..

[Flightgear-devel] For the - Author of Concorde

2007-05-28 Thread Forums Virgin Net
I am having BIG problems, with the new Concorde version in Plib 0.9.11 
pre-release, in win32 XP SP2, it is losing control during ascent while climbing 
through 15,000 feet while on a fixed Vertical Speed setting, or even on a fixed 
Pitch of 12.

In fact I do not think it is even that which is the cause because last time 
concorde went out of control I turned off the Autopilot and the controls would 
just NOT respond at all. It simply nose dived into the ground? I am making a 
short video to demonstrate what happens, when the video (hopefully about 6 
minutes) is completed please look on this link!

http://files.ww.com/search.html

When I have made the video of what happens the video WILL be called 
concorde0911-error.divx

I have not managed to be able to find any usefull FG error log, or windows 
crash data as none seems to be generated? Maybe I am looking in the wrong place 
I dont know! Thats why I am making this video hopefully it will give you some 
clue as to what is going wrong, I will try to switch views during the video 
capture to the FG logging window behind, I will set debugging to Warn, I can't 
risk using BULK debugging as from past experience this has overloaded my system 
somehow and caused a totally different fg crash.

Give me about a day. 24 hours from 28th May 16.00 hours to do this thanks

[Flightgear-devel] flash2a, inversed left right

2007-05-28 Thread Maik Justus
Hello,

if I push the stick in the flash2a I see the plain lifting the nose --- 
therefore I control  with the stick the  trapeze (is it the right word?) 
of the aircraft.
Therefore I expect I need  to push the stick/trapeze to the left if I 
want to fly to the right. But I need to push the stick to the right. I 
would call this a bug.

[Flightgear-devel] OT: RL Flexwing Microlight General Skills Test (aka checkride)

2007-05-28 Thread Stuart Buchanan
Hi All,

In the tradition of mentioning milestones on the way to a pilot's license, I 
thought I'd mention that I passed my final test for my microlight license on 
Saturday - the General Skills Test. I think this is the equivalent of the U.S. 
check-ride - an examination of your flying skills you have to pass before you 
can get your license.

Since going solo at the beginning of March, I had been very lucky with the 
weather and managed to get lots of flying in - up to 5 hours per week. Having 
my own aircraft helped a lot, as I could do some solo flight anytime, as long 
as an instructor was at the airfield.

As well as lots of circuit training, I also had to complete two solo 
cross-countries, which I did on two consecutive days. Both flights were to 
small private grass strips which really brought home the advantage of flying a 
microlight. I can land and take-off on a 300m strip no problem, and less than 
smooth surfaces are merely inconvenient rather than out-right dangerous. While 
I'm certain that GA aircraft can and do use such strips I think the required 
skill level is much higher.

So, by early May I was just about ready for my test. The airstrip I fly from is 
quite small, and while some GA aircraft visit, in general it is microlight 
only. In contrast, my test took place at Perth airport, a much larger airport 
with much more GA traffic and requiring radio. To add to the challenge, I was 
to take it in a much larger microlight (if that isn't a contradiction in terms) 
that I hadn't flown before.

Unfortunately, the good weather I had enjoyed didn't last. My original test 
date was cancelled due to the weather, and when I finally I came to do my test 
I had only had one revision lesson - two weeks before!

The examiner (also an instructor) took me up for a 30 minute familiarization 
flight, to get used to the aircraft, airport and get rid of some of my nerves. 
This was great and really helped my calm down and treat the following flight 
like any other. We then had a break while he examined my friend (who also 
passed) and before long I was once again strapping in and going through the 
pre-startup checks.

My normal instructor is quite talkative, so there was quite a contrast with the 
examiner who naturally is not going to be leading you by the hand through the 
various maneuvers. Conditions were quite thermally - at one point we were 
keeping a constant altitude with the engine at idle - which meant that judging 
level flight was quite challenging. This at least meant the some of my minor 
altitude deviations were lost in the general noise. 

The upper airwork went pretty well, steep turns, unusuall attitudes, emergency 
landings. The only tricky part was a stall, as this particular model simply 
wouldn't do so without some fairly high nose-up pitch. At one point I had the 
bar right up against the front strut and all that was happening was we were 
slowly descending - not even a mush. However, this was a known trait of this 
particular model (my own aircraft stalls more easily), and once I got the nose 
up high enough, down it went and I recovered no problem.

Airwork completel, I was given instructions to head back to the airport. What 
airport? I couldn't see it anywhere. The examiner realized almost immediately 
that I hadn't found it and queried if I knew where I was going. Declaring 
oneself lost is an immediate failure, so I said I knew where it was, but hadn't 
spotted it yet... I double-checked the map, and spent a very anxious 5 minutes 
heading (hopefully) towards it, before finally spotting it. As is often the 
case, I was looking in the right direction, but not the right distance - it was 
further away than I expected, due to the tailwind we had and the higher 
airspeed of the aircraft (65mph vs 48mph).

Once back in the circuit, we had some fun and games with engine failures all 
over the place, all of which went smoothly, culminating in an immediate engine 
failure takeoff which I put back on the runway with plenty of room to spare. As 
we taxied back to the hangar those wonderful words - Your flying good - I'm 
going to pass you.

I still have 25 minutes of flying to do to meet the minimum requirements before 
I can send away for my license, but for the first time I'll be flying without 
an objective in mind, or some specific airwork to practise. I think I'll take a 
flight along the coast and look at the Bass Rock and Tantallon Casle. Both 
modeled in the global scenery database BTW - take off from Edinburgh Airport 
(EGPH) or East Fortune (EG32) and head East along the coast.

For those who might be interested in getting their microlight license, I'd 
highly recommend it. For those of us daunted by the cost of learning to fly a 
Cessna and then being able to afford to fly afterwards, it's a very good way to 
get into the air. While it might not be quite what you imagine as you fly a 
Cessna in FG, a modern microlight has pretty similar performance to a 152 and 
is

I'm sure you've already checked this, being an experienced Concorde pilot,
but just in case you haven't - have you possibly run out of fuel?

Another possibility is that you've entered a stall, though a fixed pitch
of 12 degrees doesn't sound excessive. I believe this is a particular
problem with delta-wings.

A very good point!

FYI - the control is generally called the control bar, or if including
the attachment to the wing pivot A-frame.

I'm not sure whether this should be changed or not. Initially it was very
obvious to me that the control inputs for pitch were wrong if set up in
the normal way. However, up until you mentioned it, I had never
considered that the roll inputs were also reversed.

Pilots transitioning to flexwings from normal aircraft often have
problems with the control bar. However, they only have problems with the
pitch control. In my early training, I myself reversed pitch inputs a
couple of times, but never roll.

I don't know why this is the case. It is possibly that it is easy to
visualize a virtual stick connected to the control bar, and therefore
making the movements required to angle that stick to the right for right
turns and to the left for left turns.

I will experiment with the required changes, and see if they feel any more
natural. It may be that they are simply too strange to use, but the more I
think of it, the more it seems obvious that they are wrong!

Thanks for pointing this out.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] OT: RL Flexwing Microlight General Skills Test (aka checkride)

2007-05-28 Thread Ralf Gerlich
Hi there!

Congratulations, Stuart, and I wish you many great flights and happy
landings!

Yes, it's one of the interesting things about flying microlight
(obviously independent of whether gravity- or
aerodynamically-controlled) that very short runways can suffice very
well where others get into trouble. That's one of the fun parts landing
in EDNY with a 2.4km runway ;-)

 Finally - Ralf - good luck with your test!

Hm, I should have posted at least a quick note ;-)

I already have passed my practical exam about one month ago but I just
didn't have the time yet to write about it. I will make up for that when
I come home from my conference at the end of the week.

I already have got my license since about 2 1/2 weeks and my certificate
for passenger flights (required in Germany to be allowed to take
passengers) since about 1 1/2 week. I also have been flying last week in
Croatia on a flying camp our club has established on the Istrian
west-coast in Vrsar.

However, to say the least, I probably don't tell the license owners here
something new when I say that flying without needing the agreement of
any instructor is a really great experience and at that also one you
need some time to get used to and to realize.

I also have started training for the national PPL (PPL-N), which in
Germany allows you to fly single-engine planes with MTOW up to 750kg at
day and within Germany. The club has a DA20 Katana for that, which costs
only slightly more in the hour than our microlights.

As owner of a license for aerodynamically controlled microlights in
Germany you need only 7 hours of practice (incl. 10 solo takeoffs and -
hopefully - landings), a theoretical exam and another practical exam til
you have the PPL-N.

With another 15 hours and another theoretical exam (IIRC no practical)
you can call yourself owner of a full-blown JAR PPL-A. So currently I am
21 hours, two theoretical and one practical exam away from being a
real SEP-pilot ;-)

However, going from a C42 to a Katana the only difference is the side
you hold the stick with, the blue lever and the tip brakes. Ah, yes, and
the speed. Aside from that it's just a little bit easier to fly ;-)

Cheers,
Ralf

Turning down the ramp takes 7 (!)minutes, the cross-section of the hold is 6.4m,
the ceiling is at 4.4m with cranes hanging from it (can lift 20 tons each).
I can send you some photos if you want to.

   it's the rear four sets.  This site also has some nice pics of the main
   gear, which show that the front three and rear four units are
 different,
   if anyone would like to make more detailed and accurate main gear
 units:)
 
  (I can barely make a cube in Blender -- so don't look at me ;)
 
  I suspect it can also kneel like the An-124. Looks like that on some of
 the
  pictures too. But the 124 has a different setup with the main gear
  steering, with the two forward axels steerable instead.
 
 Yeah - it can kneel to lower the nose for loading/unloading but I never 
 modelled the opening nose or kneeling:)
 
 
  And rumor has it they are working on finishing the second 225 down in
 Kiev
  now. The one they have in operation is booked up most of the time.
 
 Yeah (again) - I saw some reports saying that the sole AN-225 is in such 
 demand that they are going to complete a second airframe, due for completion
 
 in 2008.
 
 
   The AN-225 also has a max taxiing weight but I couldn't find the doc
   which stated what it was:(  Basically, it means that the AN-225 cannot
   make ground turns above this weight and so for mtow takeoffs it has to
 be
   lined up on the runway and then loaded.  Unlike the AN-124, from which
 it
   was developed, it was never intended for short-field operation.
 
  That information ought to be in the 2001 civil type certificate. (which
 may
  have been published in Ukranian only though) I found the type certificate
  number for it: (in latin-faked kyrillic) CTOK200-AH-225, but not the
  document itself. (well, I can't google in non-latin alphabets)
 
  We should add some more hard points to it. One can easily dip a wingtip
 or
  engine in the ground now by turning too hard at too high taxi speed. Max
  taxi speed is probably also specified in the type cert. And CG limits,
 and
  other goodies...
 
 The contact points should be ok as the aircraft geometry is fundamental to 
 YASim and is taken from the 3d model.  YASim does recognise ground contact 
 with wings etc - heh - I've hit the ground with a wing tip in a turn when at
 
 very low level and realistically spun in and crashed as a result and I've 
 also clipped a few buildings and structures and got a yaw to the appropriate
 
 side:)   Perhaps the problem is that these collisions don't cause any
 damage.  
 This isn't the fault of YASim because FG only really recognises a total
 crash 
 and doesn't have any provision for partial airframe damage.
 
 Personally, I wouldn't do anything to pervent the wing tips or outer engines
 
 grounding when taxiing at too high a speed because I suspect this would be 
 realistic.  It's just the lack of resultant damage that's unrealistic.  Of 
 course, there's certainly scope for further tuning of the undercarriage 
 springing and displacements - atm it's just tuned so that the a/c sits level
 
 on the ground at various weights and doesn't collapse on landing, which was
 a 
 serious factor when I was developing it.  It was certainly possible to 
 collapse the nose gear by breaking too hard on the ground at high weights, 
 which also seemed realistic to me:)  I don't think I put any brakes on the 
 nose gear, just the mains.

I could successfully   build FG osg cvs with your JSBSim tar file.

I have flown several JSB aircraft with that updated version.

Probably  it needs more testing.
To me it is right.

That's how the Airwave hang glider in FG is operated too:
joystick forward==weight forward -- dive/increase speed,
joystick left==weight left -- bank/turn left. etc
So I would prefer to have the js work in the same old manner as for rudder
controlled aircrafts.

Is there any quick and simple way of inverting a js axis in jsbsim models?

To The Author of Concorde.

I am making the Video right now, so far I have been very lucky to stay in the 
air I almost lost control when the Autopilot went bezerk, however I got this at 
the moment FG started up before taking off!

Hi,

these messages are no real error messages, just warnings, but I think
 Volume larger than 1.0 in configuration for '***', clipping.
should be at a warning-level, which is not displayed by default, because 
it is not a real error (it is clipped and does not harm).

Re: [Flightgear-devel] strange behavior of 0.9.11-pre1

2007-05-28 Thread Pigeon
 If I changed the view
 strange  overlaying triangles were visible on the sky. Does anybody
 similar problems?

A while ago a few of us has come to a conclusion that it only
happens with the nvidia driver. Those weird triangles appear when a FG
menu is on the screen at the same time.

Last time some of us confirmed the issue went away with the latest
nvidia driver (9755). However with FG-plib cvs (as of yesterday) I'm
still seeing this glitch with 9755. Haven't tried FG-osg yet.

One workaround is to turn on anti-aliasing in the nvidia settings.

Maybe we should report this issue to nvidia, but I don't even know
what make senses to be reported to them...

[Flightgear-devel] patch: don't warn if a sound is clipped, was Re: For the - Author of Concorde - Continued (Email in Unicode format)

2007-05-28 Thread Maik Justus

Hi,
the enclosed patch would do the thing (but maybe SG_DEBUG would be 
better, it's really only a debug message, the user need not to be warned 
about this).

Please commit.
Maik

[Flightgear-devel] osgViewer for windows

2007-05-28 Thread Olaf Flebbe
Hi,

I addded first support for osgViewer for win/vc2005. See my webpages at 
http://www.oflebbe.de/oflebbe/FlightGear .

For demonstration and testing purposes I uploaded a self contained 
Setup-File at http://www.oflebbe.de/oflebbe/FlightGear/FlightGearSetup.exe .
It is about 70MB and contains FlightGear build with OSG and data (only 
c172p without Textures.high).

Please wait an hour or so for the upload to complete.

Cheers,
Olaf

Concorde was not obeying control commands to the aileron's during the missed 
approach and turning procedure before a final approach could be made, it is 
shown in the Video I have made to demonstrate the control surfaces were 
behaving erratically.
