[Flightgear-devel] Github and aircraft
I've been using GitHub and its API recently on a couple of projects. That got me thinking about using github for aircraft, with each aircraft as a repository, as an experiment. I've already created a little python application to create the local and remote git repositories and to push changes. Problem is that github has a quota, however I fired off an email and below is the exchange. I don't know if this will be of an help to FG, but its an idea. pete - Can github support a large opensource repository. FlightGear is an open source flightsimulator (flightgear.org) with a huge data set, currently stored in CVS. One of the data elements to move and am researching, is the Aircraft data http://cvs.flightgear.org/viewvc/data/Aircraft/. The idea would be to take all 250+ aircraft, each with its own directory and move them to github, each with their own repository. The data is currently 2.4g+, but user quota is 300mb. This could be achieved by multiple users, however it would be easier to have one account eg flightgear-aircraft/*.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Github and aircraft
Hi Pete, Sounds very interesting, I've had a look at GitHub and I've a few questions, if you don't mind answering (purely as I don't know anyone else with experience of it) Is there any support for media files, such as Sounds/Images with version control or is it just text/code based? Also can you do offline editing or is it all online via their own editors? Excuse my noob questions, I did have a look there but haven't had chance to have a proper play.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Bug: nav[12] selected radial
On 20 Mar 2010, at 23:36, Curtis Olson wrote: The nav radio does not work in magnetic headings. It works in which ever alignment the station was setup in. In the 60's when GEP was installed, it was aligned with magnetic north at that time. In the subsequent years, the actual magnetic north has shifted several degrees, but the FAA does not go in and adjust the orientation of the station radials every few months. This would cause all kinds of cascading changes with radials, victor highways, intersection points, etc. Instead, they just leave it where it is. So it's key to align the vor station with the defined offset, not the current magnetic offset ... Sorry, yes, I was aware of this, it's the 'twist' parameter, which comes from the dreaded 'multiuse' column in the nav.dat data. navradio.cxx *does* reference /environment/magnetic-variation-deg, but only as part of the nav-slaved-to-gps option which I will be attacking soon. Form looking at the navradio code, I do *think* the alignment/twist logic is ok: nav[n]/heading-deg is the true heading to the station, computed by wgs84_inverse, and nav[n]/radials/actual-deg is computed as the true heading minus the twist as specified in degrees in nav.data. As ever, I am not a pilot, so I am happy to be corrected, but the above description does fit with my understanding of the real-world situation, and Curt's description above.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Operating System
Hi, Flightgear does work on Windows 7. However if you plan to compile frequently you have to be quite good in helping yourself, because compile problems may arise from time to time. Personally I found Windows quite nasty for compiling Flightgear myself because the large checkout needs ages of computer time for indexing -- for almost no use at all. Preventing this is not the only thing you will have to do to get an compelling compile performance. If you want to go straight to the point and compile out of the box: Use Linux. Much faster in update/compile/fly turnarounds. If you are willing to invest some of your energy into the compile platform: go ahead use Windows and Visual Studio. Greetings, Olaf Hi, I'm planning to buy a new PC with operating system. Is there any OS that is not supported by FlightGear? I want to be sure I'll be able to compile and run FlightGear. Is Windows 7 64-bit supported? Or should I better stay with Windows 7 32-bit. Please Linux people don't laugh at me :( Thank you!

[Flightgear-devel] RMI instrument
Hello folks ,
This is a two pointer RMI . Its ADF and VOR source are changable from the
property tree , or set in the instrumentation.xml file , and default to
/instrumentation/nav and instrumentation/adf/indicated-bearing-deg for its
input...
Haven't decided if I should extend it with DME digit displays yet ...
It requires a /systems/electrical/outputs/rmi voltage to operate...
If someone could include this , I would appreciate it .
Cheers
