[Flightgear-devel] rain sound
Hi all! Since I found none, here some rain sound (to be put in /Sounds): http://homepage.univie.ac.at/markus.zojer/fgfs/rain_canopy.wav and the corresponding code for the sound.xml: rain looped Sounds/rain_canopy.wav /environment/metar/rain-norm 0.2 /environment/metar/rain-norm 1.00 0.00 0.4 0.9 /velocities/airspeed-kt 0.001 1.0 Can somebody integrate this?

Tiago's particle system is working quite well - it's not in CVS yet, but should be there soon. There are a few pics here: http://gallery.flightgear.org.uk/c1450045.html I can send you a copy of the particle system I was testing on the grob if you'd like, although Tiago is currently working on connected particles which should look much better for things like aircraft smoke. I'm glad someone's made use of my redbull gate models - I've been trying to get details of the san francisco course for a while (it'd be great to have one set up in our default scenery area) but the best reference I could find was some video of the event on youtube - and reverse engineering the gate positions from that isn't exactly easy :-) Jon - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I think I can wait a while until it appears in CVS, there is some basic work left on the aircraft before the eye candy find their way into it. I found most of the racetrack layouts on the official web site. They have a few kml files for google earth and schematic diagrams for most of the tracks. Together with some pictures from the gallery on the site it was quite easy to place the gates. Probably not on the perfectly correct spot - but good enough. Unfortunately our scenery in the San Francisco marina area is not very accurate and the cost line looks like it has been made by a zigzag cutter. So the racetrack doesnt look half as cool as it could. Sigh. Torsten - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

There is a flash application at http://www.redbullcopilot.com/air_race/launch.html where you find a lot of track layouts. It looks like the SFO event was in 2006. We will have some duplicate pylons if they are in the scenery. I place them using the dynamic object placement from nasal (the one the ufo uses to place objects, too). The coordinates come from a XML file that is supplied. I thought this is a good attempt so we don't have these pylons dappled all around the world wherever a air race has taken place, but only load them on request of a user.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Navaids FIX data with duplicates entries
Yes, SBGL is in APT.DAT but the FIX around is not in FIX.DAT ( Like FICO, PERES ) And there duplicates entries in X-Plane data too, i have send mail for Robin check it, but FIX of around SBGL airport is in X-Plane but not in Flightgear.

Well I checked LEPAS and HARDLY quickly in another source, and there are several of them too. Although the real world authorities strive for uniqueness, they cannot and do not guarantee so. Short of errors or oversights on the part of Robin Peel, his (thus X-Plane's and in turn our) navaids data does reflect this accurately.

That includes named waypoints, VORs, et cetera. 2) This is *not* a bug in the database. Complaining to Robin about it would be a step in the wrong direction. 3) Real-world pilots and real-world navigation instruments resolve the ambiguity by choosing the _nearest_ one of the possibilities. 4) This *is* a bug in the stock version of the FGFS code, in the sense that it is not smart about duplicate fixes. 5) This bug was fixed eons ago in the Sport Model.

[Flightgear-devel] Navaids FIX data with duplicates entries
Hi, I have trace same routes using waypoints and find many duplicates entries in FIX Data ( like LEPAS, HARDY ) with different coordinates, thats is correct ? One more thing, some FIX that find in X-Plane navaid data not appers in FlightGear ( FIX for SBGL airport for example ), is not the same database ? Tks, Cleber Santz. Abra sua conta no Yahoo!

So > the racetrack doesnt look half as cool as it could. Sigh. Has there been a recent SFO race? I was trying to find details of the 2006 course - there were only KML files for the 2007 races on the site when I was trying to find details (you'll find the courses laid out in the scenery - will this clash with your implementation?) Better to have the gates in the right place though than try to fit them into the scenery - the scenery will improve. Jon - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Flightgear-devel] tree textures
First email stopped , too big :) I've created some tree textures with Blender , I'll attach them if anyone wants to test them ... Are there supposed to be 8 coniferous trees instead of 4 ?

[Flightgear-devel] tree textures ...again !
I created some new tree textures , but can't attach them here for testing because they are over 40 kb.I can commit them if Curt could suggest a safe place to store them I would prefer feedback before sticking them in the Textures/Trees directory.
