I think we have. Takes another hour until I have compiled OSG 2.5.1
and the newest sg/fg changes, but then I'll commit Stuart's patch
(after having fixed indendation and random spaces, of course :-).


For those not fully understanding the issue yet, here's a little
illustration: If I use the following quite useful shell function ...

  apt() { LANG=en_US zgrep "^1 " $FG_ROOT/Airports/apt.dat.gz|sed -r 
's,^..{13},,'|egrep -i "$*" ; }

like so:

  $ apt "" # normally I'd write e.g.apt ^LO   or   apt Dallas
  
then I get a list of all airports, and a part of it looks like this:

 YWTL Waterloo
 CYKF WATERLOO
 KALO WATERLOO RGNL
 37NE Watermeier
 MA97 Waters
 KART WATERTOWN INTL
 KRYV Watertown Muni
 KATY WATERTOWN RGNL
 2S5  Waterville
 CCW3 Waterville Kings Co Muni
 KWVL WATERVILLE ROBERT LAFLEUR
 40C  Watervliet Municipal
 S25  WATFORD CITY MUNI

So a case-sensitive search for "Wat" would give me an unpredictable
"random" result. There's no rule for when names are capitalized or
versal. This is not suited to find a particular airport. Of course,
we could modify the names when reading in apt.dat.gz, but that's a
bit tricky, too. Some things don't make sense when auto-capitalized:
AB (Airbase) shouldn't become Ab, for example.

Well assuming that we have agreed to switch over to a case insensitive

We could, but it would IMHO also be a bit unclean, as it would influence
all airport-search widgets. (Sure, we use only one, but that's not the
point.) And before we do anything like that we should first decide if
we *really* want and need the case sensitivity configurable. Just adding
checkboxes for the sake of it doesn't make dialogs better. This rings my
bloat-bell. :-}

I may be completely misunderstanding this whole thread, but could we add
another widget to the search dialog window that is tied to a boolean
property.  Then the search function could check the state of this value when
it searches to control the case sensitivity behavior.

Widgets are associated with one single property, and they read
from it after getting a "dialog-update" and write to it after
getting a "dialog-apply". The former is used for sending the
search expression to the widget, the latter for returning the
selected entry.

So to add a widget config option, one would have to encode that
in the search expression, for example by (optionally) setting a
non-ASCII character at the first position via some embedded Nasal.
But that's a bit ugly, and I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Case-insensitive ought to be enough for anybody.  :-)

As I told on IRC already, the current case-sensitive behavior wasn't
an accident or laziness. It allowed a more precise search string with
less hits. This seemed useful at times where airport names were
consistently and correctly capitalized. Unfortunately, current apt.dat
is a complete mess in this regard, so case-sensitivity turned into
a disadvantage, and I agree that case-insensitivity is now desirable.
(Well, fixing apt.dat would be even better, but not in our responsibility.)

BTW: that ICAO codes are output in parentheses is also not just a
cosmetic issue: this was done to allow searching for all French airports
with "(LF", for (almost) all Austrian military airports with "(LOX" etc.

What we really want is to ensure that any search is completely case-insensitive.

For example, apt.dat contains the following lines:

1 400 1 1 KLVK LIVERMORE MUNI
1 425 0 1 4AK2 Livengood Camp
13982 0 0 LIVD Dobbiaco

Currently, searching for "LIV" returns the first and last lines, while 
searching for "Livermore" returns nothing, despite being what most people would 
search for.

I think a use searching for "liv" would expect to see all the results above, 
and more.

One issue that is worth discussion is that if we make the search completely 
case-insensitive, we obviously increase the number of results returned. 

In the example above, searching for "liv" would return a total of 54 results. A 
much less unique string, such as "san" would return over 400. 

Note that this assumes that the user has the entire world scenery installed, 
which is pretty unlikely.

Nevertheless, I think these are acceptable numbers for a 3 character string. 
The user can easily perform a more specific search on receiving a large number 
of results.

I will continue looking at this, though if anyone else would like to jump in 
with suggestions, that would be very welcome.

FYI, I have already changed this in my local copy of FlightGear. Some new 
changes to the AI code required a more fundamental change here. Currently, AI 
aircraft remain active, even when parked, because this allows for much better 
control over the animation. 

As mentioned previously, I still need to clean up the code a bit more, but I 
hope to commit these changes shortly.

Hi Fred,

I believe #3 is most likely the dominant factor.  I don't know if I can
recall the whole history of development, but I think it started out with the
introduction of the threaded tile loader to reduce pauses when new tiles
needed to be loaded.  Plib was not multithreaded and neither is opengl so we
could fake it mostly and load all the terrain data and build the scene
graph, but model loading (which can trigger texture loading which triggers
opengl calls) could not be moved outside the render thread.  So any models
that needed to be loaded where pushed onto a queue and one (or maybe a few?)
were loaded each rendered frame.

At the time, FlightGear started running as soon as the local tile was loaded
(so that the local terrain elevation could be determined and so that the
aircraft could be properly ground trimmed.)  However, this meant that you
saw the remaining elements of the scene loading and popping into view and
often this led to really stuttery frame rates until everything was loaded.

So the solution was to keep the splash screen drawn and hide the main scene
until after all these initial loads have taken place, but as you have
pointed out, these are interleaved, one at a time between scene draws which
are never actually shown.  Also, the FDM is running during this time, even
though nothing is being shown to the user (that means the plane could be
falling or bouncing or rolling down the runway before the view comes up.)

It might make sense to come up with a flag somewhere and just flush the load
queue entirely in one shot at startup rather than hide the outside world
with the splash screen?  What we've grown into right now clearly is
inefficient.

Regards,

Curt.

hardware setup with up to four 24" widescreen displays per cockpit bringing 
FlightGear in cinemascope to the people. A complete set of controls (Joystick 
and yoke, rudder, throttle) for both stations allowed some "almost real" 
flying.

Once again, we shared our booth with the nice people of linux-gamers.net. 
Having all these graphics-loades screens and cool sound, our booth was 
usually loaded with visitors. 

See you next year at LinuxTag 2009!

uuups... yep - you are right. sorry it's a little bit to warm for my 
personal CPU here in Berlin (32 °C - about 90 °Fahrenheit). Time for the 
pool.

[Flightgear-devel] Some TV material from 3sat about Linuxtag 2008 AND Flightgear

2008-06-02 Thread Holger Wirtz
Hi,

last week Flightgear was represented at Linuxtag 2008 in Berlin, 
Germany. The TV station 3sat made some small trailers about Linux and 
OpenSource projects. I made an mpeg2 stream which shows some projects on 
this fair. At the end you can see some seconds of captain DT flying a 
777 at EDDF :-)

Here it is (german comments, 19 GB):
