[Flightgear-devel] Props: /environment/wind-* obsolete?
To compensate the lack of feel and indirect visual indicators of the wind conditions in the simulator I am monitoring the properties /environment/wind-from-heading-deg and wind-speed-kt. This worked out pretty good the past two years. I cannot tell when it stopped working but last night I realised it didn't anymore, see marked values at screenshot [1]. The ones from the HUD (255@25kt) are totally different from the ones in the METAR string (33007KT). Please, could someone point to the actual used properties for the wind conditions right next to the aircraft? Thanks.

The wind at the aircraft's location is still in /environment/wind-from-heading-deg et. al. This does not necessarily match the reported wind in the METAR as it changes with altitude. However, I can't figure out from your screenshot why your hud reports 255@25 as it does not come close to any of the winds in boundary and aloft layers. Being a complete HUD ignorant: how did you manage to make the HUD show wind, anyway? If I cycle through the HUD styles (h-key), there is no such information!?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] TerraGear - removing the 'terror' ;=))
Hi Geoff I then read and tried the windows TerraGUI.exe (Gijs and others?), but it seems at the moment this ONLY deals with .dat files from TaxiDraw, and uses fgfs.exe to view a .btg file, or did I get this wrong? Are there any plans in extending this to a more general TG GUI? And where is the source? I would like to see if I can compile it with Qt in windows, and look to extensions... BUT WAIT, after just 10 minutes of running, it exited saying I should BUY the release ;=(( You downloaded the old tool apparently, which was written in a trial-version of Revolution Studio, thus showing the trial expiration message after 10 minutes. Alex started his GUI in RevStudio, but after that first release of mine, I decided that is was not the way to continue. So the new one is written in Qt/C++ and 100% free ;) Source is at Gitorious: https://gitorious.org/terragear-addons/terrageargui Feedback is extremely welcome! It's still far from what I have in mind, but at least several people were already able to build scenery with the GUI (and some additional explenations in the forum topic, so do read that, from this post and further). http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=120400#p120400 (the there mentioned build is not the latest btw, there's another one some pages later). Or just build from source, to get the latestgreatest.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Props: /environment/wind-* obsolete?
Ahoy Torsten, thank you for taking your time on this issue and sorry for bothering you again. ;-) The HUD showing those values is a personal modification. I made another screenshot to confirm that it is just showing the roundet to interger values of the named properties [1] and you'll find the xml code enclosed.
