[Flightgear-devel] SimGear compilation problem with MS VisualStudio 10
Hello all, I am trying to build FG in Windows 7, using Visual Studio 10. A part of that process is simgear, and that gives me some trouble... I eliminated all compile errors with the exception of this one: 1c:\users\claus\desktop\flighgear-dependencies\simgear-2.0.0\simgear\scene\material\effectbuilder.hxx(134): error C2440: 'specialization' : cannot convert from 'std::string std::_Pair_base_Ty1,_Ty2::* ' to 'std::string std::pair_Ty1,_Ty2::* ' 1 with 1 [ 1 _Ty1=std::string, 1 _Ty2=osg::StateSet::RenderingHint 1 ] 1 Standard conversion from pointer-to-member of base to pointer-to-member of derived is not applied for template arguments Googeling only brings up https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3106 which unfortunately doesn't help me much. I am using boost 1.46.1. Any ideas? Thanks a lot in advance, Claus -- Claus Christmann, M.S.

[Flightgear-devel] Linking in external libraries / make setup of FG
Hi, I am trying to combine a personal project of mine with FlightGear. In order to do that, I am writing some C++ code to interact with Matlab (to be precise, with the Matlab engine). However, I run into trouble when trying to compile/link my stuff in FG - hence my question on how to do it properly Here is what I want to do: * I need to include some Matlab specific headers in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/extern/include * I need to link against some Matlab libraries in /usr/local/MATLAB/bin/glnxa64 Here is my setup: * I put my sources (*.cxx and *.hxx) in a new folder in $FG/src/ETP * I made a new $FG/src/ETP/Makefile.am : http://pastebin.com/2iGgdWAP * I altered $FG/src/Main/gf_init.cxx to load my new subsystem: http://pastebin.com/nWNHGX81 * I altered $FG/src/Main/Makefile.am to reflect that change : http://pastebin.com/8cS50Xd4 * I have the path to the matlab libraries (/usr/local/MATLAB/bin/glnxa64) in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH via my ~/.bashrc: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/bin/glnxa64 I would like to use the sequence :$FG make distclean :$FG ./autogen.sh :$FG ./configure :$FG make However, autogen already spits out errors: http://pastebin.com/feCvty3b . Fixing those, however, does't seem to fix my problem: http://pastebin.com/wLbBPTFk Obviously, ignoring those errors results in not-linked in Matlab libraries, as the linker will tell me when it tries to link the project: all the Matlab specific commands used in my sources are unrecognized... So could somebody point me to a Makefile.am that includes/links in some external libraries? Or even better, point me to a (preferably brief) writeup on how to write Makefile.am s for FG?

As many of you may know, I am involved with a small company that is developing a UAS (UAV) and autopilot. We have a PC based ground station already developed, but we thought it could be cool to investigate developing something for a mobile tablet platform. The sorts of things we would be looking at include: - live moving map to track the flight in real time (along with other important data) - route plotting/planning - accept and relay basic commands to the UAS (like route changes, altitude or airspeed changes, etc.) - glass cockpit display (similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkZEX45Hx-s) - display or overlay other real time data from the UAS (for debugging or detailed monitoring of the flight in certain circumstances) - maybe some sort of IP based live video feed (?) This is a low budget project, but we might be able to find a small amount of funding to go towards this effort if we found the right person. Anyone want to chat more about this? Thanks, Curt.

In our case we would have significantly different design and usage goals compared to the parrot drone, but certainly we would need to accomplish many of the same technical hurdles. Our drone flies well beyond wifi range. We are primarily focused on outdoor use. The parrot AR drone (as best as I can tell from the videos I've seen) is primarily a remote piloted vehicle -- with computer stabilization. It probably wouldn't take much to make it fully autonomous, but that's not the primary usage that I've seen. (Interactive real/VR blended dog fights.) Curt. Hi Curt, you are right in all of your points. I was just wondering if you simply looked at their software SDK (for a GCS). AFAIK their GCS is iPhone only, but some people have compiled it for Android. So maybe those guys could give you a hand for your GCS system. http://www.shellware.com/BlogEngine.Web/page/ARPro-for-Android.aspx is one example of an Android GCS for the Parrot.AR Good Luck, Claus -- Claus Christmann, M.S.

I used this Makefile.am : http://pastebin.com/Pw8EeLrp b) do the linking in the binary, i.e. in ../src/Main. I modified the Makefile.am there to look like this: http://pastebin.com/RfJ5MQRx So the solution is to inlcude the external libraries via -lxxx where you also would include the subprojects libXXX.a and alter the _LDFLAGS to s.t. a direct path to the external libraries is given...

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Nasal: airportinfo() question
On Monday, May 09, 2011 11:41:53 AM Curtis Olson wrote: Ultimately, what I'd like to do for my project is have an auto-land gui button that will pop up a list of nearby airports. The user selects the one they want and then a list of runways pops up, perhaps ranked based on the prevailing wind conditions. Then when the destination is chosen, the aircraft flies to the airport, enters the downwind pattern, base, final, lands at exactly the target spot. (Maybe with just a little randomization so we don't wear out the concrete always hitting the exact same spot every time.) Curt and all, this is fairly exactly what I am tasked to do for a research project. We have code to create optimal (I put that in quotes as that obviously lies in the eye of the beholder) trajectories, taking some dynamic limitations into account. We would love to test this code in realistic cockpit scenarios, replicating -- in a perfect world -- for example, the Hudson River landing. Looking for an interface between emergency path planning and the pilot (Curt's auto-land gui) we decided that hacking/altering the CDU would be a reasonable attempt as pilots are familiar with the instrument and how to use it. (That is the reason why I wrote a Nasal based CDU for FlightGear based upon Gijs great work.) So what I would like to ask of you, i.e. people who have toyed around with this idea (or read about it, know about it), is to kindly give me some pointers on where I could learn about current developments in this area or where I could learn about the C/C++ code/api to the navdata base and the route manager. Having written the CDU in Nasal I believe to have a fairly good grasp on the language, however I would prefer to write this lower level stuff in C++. Not only because I believe that I/we will need the computational benefit, but also as this might make it easier to contribute more of the code (as a potential closed source library) to more interested parties - although I do promise to try to get as much of my/our work to be open sourced. I am looking forward to hearing from you with pointers to documentation, examples, helpful source files - all that good stuff that could get me up to speed quickly (as I haven't touched the C code of FG yet.)

[Flightgear-devel] A proposal for a Nasal based Honeywell/Boeing-style CDU for FG
Good Day everybody, first of all, let me introduce myself: My name is Claus, I am an aerospace student at GeorgiaTech and recently got into FlightGear in relation to one of my research projects. I have been not so good on reading the FG-devel email list, but have had quite some interactions on the FG IRC chat with other FG enthusiasts. For my research project I need(ed) a somewhat functional Boeing style CDU. So I got into contact with Gijs de Roy and started to learn about his CDU project, then still in this git repo for the 744. I started to make a wiki writeup for Gijs CDU (http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Development_of_the_CDU, not up to date anymore) to learn about how Gijs implemented the CDU. As I needed the CDU to be fairly flexible - particularly in respect to [ages outside the currently implementation - I decided to change from a XML approach to a more Nasal based approach. I have finished a first draft of my code and started to write some documentation for it in the FG wiki. I would like to ask for some dev's to check out my code and make any suggestions for improvements. As I have the clearance to release the code under GPL v2, I also would like to offer to merge this into the main FG repository. You can find my code at https://gitorious.org/~hcc23/fg/hcc23s-fgdata/commits/cdu-development The docu is contained in these two wiki pages (and will be expanded) http://wiki.flightgear.org/Nasal_CDU_Framework http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Coding_a_Boeing_CDU I am very much looking forward to hearing back from you, particularly with comments and improvement suggestions.
