[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear used in a worldwide unique paragliding simulator!
Hi, found by accident today: FlightGear is used in a worldwide unique paragliding simulator! ActiveFly is a simulator just for paragliding. It let's you practice paragliding on the ground. "In order to make practicing with the ActiveFly Simulator as realistic as possible, the harness as well as the risers and brakes are suspended below a frame in such a way that they can be operated. The brakes are extended and retracted via servos, simulating steering forces as they occur in a particular situation. The pilot will try to keep these forces constant by pulling or releasing the brakes. His actions can be viewed on a monitor and subsequently evaluated, allowing him to check the results and monitor progress as he develops his piloting skills." quote from www.activefly.com/simulator_en.htm. As visualizing system they use FlightGear. Some bigger images which shows the sim in action: http://aufwindfreunde.de/fotoalbum/simulator_training_27022011/simulator_training_27022011.htm Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFcHebPaiEs&feature=player_embedded Maybe they should use some of our new generated sceneries. But great to see how FlightGear can be used in many ways!

[Flightgear-devel] Add roll axis in view mode
Hi everybody, I like to fly with the DHC6 but I had a problem about view. I think the problem is the same in liner with large overhead. A video is better than a long explication : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBGtuUVk600 The modified mice.xml is available here : http://clemaez.fr/flightgear/mice.xml Maybe it will be added by default in FlightGear ?

[Flightgear-devel] [OT] Riding the cannonball
This reminds me a bit on Münchhausen's ride on the cannonball: http://de-de.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=281725951859631&set=pu.281671675198392&type=1&theater But it certainly looks like great fun!

This sounds very convincing to me - I'm in favour of this solution. And we'd like to go that road further anyway :-) * Thorsten -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Some More Detailed Scenery
Hi John, Instead of creating a new server for high-end / more detailed sceneries, would it be possible to create a branch on the current TerraSync server? It could work as an "overlay" where a more detailed scenery tile takes the place of a base / standard detail tile. The TerraSync client could then be configured to fetch from the base / standard branch, or the more detailed one. And having branches also takes care of older FG versions.
