Re: [Flightgear-devel] Further 3D Clouds updates

[Markus Zojer]

Well, just tested, very nice, I withnessed an improvement in performance.

My specs: Athlon XP2000, 768MB ram, NVidia FX 5900 @ 1680x1050 (system: 
linux with nvidia drivers), no AA

Using: sg + fg cvs, OSG 2.7.5; everything enabled, custom settings, 
using metar, no ai/mp planes around


Startup:  30fps 2D/ 20fps 3D (clouds at 6000ft, scattered, thickness 600ft)

Flying 400ft/440knots: 26fps 2D/ 19fps 3D (clouds at 6000ft, scattered, 
thickness 600ft)

Flying 6300ft/440knots: 35fps 2d/ 11-22fps (clouds at 6000ft, scattered, 
thickness 600ft)
Note: Flying within the clouds resulted in 22fps, getting very close or 
through clouds 11fps


Changing conditions:

Low vis (7000m), clouds at 8000ft(broken) and 4000ft(broken), thickness 
600ft

Flying @ 8000ft/440knots: 14fps 2D/ 6fps 3D

 >Low vis being also a frame rate killer?


Changing conditions:

Vis (25000m), clouds at 5500ft(broken), thickness 600ft

Flying @ 8000ft/440knots: 25fps 2D/ 16fps 3D

Flying @ 6000ft/440knots: 20fps 2D/ 12fps 3D

Hope this helps a bit,
Markus

[Flightgear-devel] bugs on current fg cvs/osg

[Markus Zojer]

Hi all!

I don't know if you are aware of the 2 described bugs so I drop a short 
note.

I am using latest sg/fg cvs with OSG 2.7.5(svn) and boost 1.34.1.

1.) Mouseclicks  on terrain only register in the vicinity of the 
aircraft (lets say 30ft), this narrows eg. the object placement 
capabilities of the ufo. (sim/input/clicks only gets updated within that 
limited range)

2.)Using the YASim FDM, the prop consumables/fuel/total-fuel-lbs and 
total-fuel-gals show about twice the fuel you have onboard.

Thanks,
Markus

Hmm, just built fg+sg cvs with OSG 2.7.5(svn) and display works fine 
here, but mouse clicks under sim/input/clicks would not register if too 
far away.

Fly on,

Since the existing preset/offset seems not to be designed for that, I 
strongly suggest to follow syds proposal to change the value to -30 as 
it helps to solve the existing inconsistency.
As said an offset for fine tuning the startup position would then be 
nice, but it is much better to be on the runway then off ;)

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft start up postion issue.

[Markus Zojer]

Just discovered that this can also be solved individually for every 
aircraft.

Inject within the  tags of the -set.xml file:

  -0.024


The unit for offset distance is nm and a negative number moves the 
aircraft to the runway.
This can be applied individually for every aircraft, depending on their 
datum placement.

Fly on,
Markus

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft start up postion issue.

[Markus Zojer]

Taken from README.yasim:

The origin can be placed anywhere, so long as you are consistent.  I use
the nose of the aircraft.

According to this note all aircraft starting off the runway are designed 
properly :)
However we should decide where to put the reference point of the FDM, or 
recalculate the startup position (maybe by adding the aircraft length as 
an offset for the startup position).

The good news for changing the coordinate system is that only the 
aircraft-yasim.xml file is affected, the model file measurements are 
taken from the .ac file, and placed via offset (once).

Any other suggestions?

Fly on,
Markus

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Aircraft start up postion issue.

[Markus Zojer]

Hi all!

This issue still exists. The YASim FDM places the datum of the aircraft 
at the end of the runway as startup position, which means that all 
aircraft with datum=nose start behind the runway. Maybe we should use 
the CG of the aircraft as reference point or calculate some offset to 
the existing solution, as  some airports are unusable.

Thanks,
Markus

Hi all!

Some improvements:
-- first off: Thanks to pauljs75 we have a decent exterior model nowSmile
remodeled the nose/cockpit section a bit, and textured some parts

-- improved radar, now MP planes within +/-1000ft appear orange; below 
green, above blue

-- rewritten terrain following system again

-- and so on ...

Thanks for stabilized submodels, makes them more versatile.

the 1-3fps scale, but that is hardly monitorable as you never know where 
it is coming from), maybe because no visible model is attached.

I am still working on the terrain following function, rewriting it 
completely for the 3rd time and again used "the real radar" approach, as 
you are not dependent in the scanning resolution of the geo properties.
The fixed radar beam (submodels) could be refined if we would add the 
property absolute to the pitch angle of the submodel  (so the submodel 
leaves the plane at always the same pitch angle).

Due to the ongoing environment development in OSG, now low level flying 
is really flashing :)

Expect the new version included in the next release (coming  hopefully 
within the next 10 days).

[Flightgear-devel] fg homepage issues

[Markus Zojer]

Hi all!

It is currently not possible to download aircraft from the fg website, 
as download main program links to download aircraft.

and onother issue:
also the aircraft images on www.flightgear.org/Downloads/ are broken. 
Images are linked to http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/737-300.jpg bit 
should probably be http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft/737-300.jpg

[Flightgear-devel] memory leak head branch

[Markus Zojer]

Hi everyone,

A memory leak ran over me with fg + sg cvs/OSG 2.3.1 using SDL/osgviewer.

It accumulates about 200mb/ 10 min, until your memory and swap is full, 
despite the 15mb/10min of the unleaked version.

I narrowed the search: with fg + sg cvs from 5th of jan. there is no 
leak, while it is present in the cvs of the 7th, so I suspect the faulty 
code could have been added on the 6th, possibly in simgear cvs.

Any clues?

"Rain and snow should work in all views in my opinion."

Thats true. But right now I am working on cockpit view, the others will follow 
or maybe the build in precipitation effect can be used here.

[Flightgear-devel] rain view

[Markus Zojer]

Hallo all!

I have created some sample rain/snow usable with flightgear osg, 
viewable only from cockpit view.
Currently it is linked with the B-1B, but I would like to bind it to 
view 0, in order to be usable with any aircraft.
Here I ran into some problem: Models are added at model.ac datum while I 
wanted to add them at virtual aircraft datum, at view 0 (like the hud) 
actually. As the datums differ, I could not use the view 0 offset, which 
was the only distance reference I could find in the property tree.
Now my question: How can that be done and/or is there a similar nasal 
code to the geo.put_model that adds models to an existing one.

For the curious(howto included):
http://homepage.univie.ac.at/markus.zojer/fgfs/Models.tar.gz

Markus

Thanks gerard! Check out also the breaking smoke(>120 kts) and flares 
(ctrl d)!

Thanks for reporting that issue with FGrun, since .osg will get more 
popular in the future maybe it would be a good feature to integrate the 
.osg format into FGrun.
Appart from the .osg not being loaded, are the rest of the models loaded?

[Flightgear-devel] controls.nas

[Markus Zojer]

Hello,
I think this snippet of code fits in better in Nasal/controls.nas than 
my local .nas.
It is analogous to the flaps (except the hard-coded part) control but 
controls the wingsweep.

wingSweep = func {
if(arg[0] == 0) { return; }
if(props.globals.getNode("/sim/wing-sweep") != nil) {
stepProps("/controls/flight/wing-sweep", "/sim/wing-sweep", arg[0]);
return;
}
# Hard-coded wing movement in 5 equal steps:
val = 0.20 * arg[0] + getprop("/controls/flight/wing-sweep");
if(val > 1) { val = 1 } elsif(val < 0) { val = 0 }
setprop("/controls/flight/wing-sweep", val);
}

Fly on,
markus

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Nimitz operation menu items

Very nice! I am waiting for the mp-nimitz badly ;-)

Just one idea: is it possible to add some knots of headwind to the scene 
while overwriting the current metar info, I think that would add some 
realism to the scene.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] OSG spotlights

[Markus Zojer]

Thanks for the info Yurik!

Regarding performance, using 1 additional spotlight, I could not obtain any 
major differences (maybe an increase of about 2% cpu usage, but since recent 
cvs/osg2.2 uses about 85-90% on my cpu (amd xp2000) constantly it is hard to 
tell).

The second problem of not lightened surfaced exists, but can be optimized a bit 
by adjusting spot cutoff and light distance attenuation.

However it seems that we are going for shaders/multitexturing here, 
unfortunatly I am not familiar with shaders.

markus

Re: [Flightgear-devel] OSG spotlights

[Markus Zojer]

Ok, I somehow got it to work:

added the following lines to /src/main/renderer.cxx (somewhere in the 
class SGPuDrawable block)

stateSet->setMode(GL_LIGHTING, osg::StateAttribute::ON);
stateSet->setMode(GL_LIGHT0, osg::StateAttribute::ON);
stateSet->setMode(GL_LIGHT1, osg::StateAttribute::ON);
stateSet->setMode(GL_LIGHT2, osg::StateAttribute::ON);
stateSet->setMode(GL_LIGHT3, osg::StateAttribute::ON);
stateSet->setMode(GL_LIGHT4, osg::StateAttribute::ON);

recompiled flightgear and changed the parameters in the lighting file to 
GL_LIGHT4 and light_num 4, and it works: I have ambient light and some 
sort of spotlight (wich I had to adjust a bit) now.
Not sure if it breaks anything, was just a quick shot ;-)

[Flightgear-devel] OSG spotlights

[Markus Zojer]

Hi there!

Maybe I missed something, but under OSG/opengl it should be able to 
create up to 8 light sources.

I used some simple osg code to generate a spotlight but it works only if 
I define it as light_num 0, which corresponds the GL_LIGHT0 of opengl I 
suppose, and this setting causes generic lightning to dissappear.

Now some questions to someone with more insight into OSG:
Is it possible to add lights when modifying the code below or is there a 
current limitation in flightgear that prevent lights from being added?
I had a quick look into renderer.cxx and it seems that our global 
lighting is linked with osg there, but I am no programmer and I don't 
know how our lighting system actually works.

Here the code I used (when GL_LIGHT1 and light_num 1 were used,nothing 
appeared):
  LightSource {
  UniqueID LightSource_2
  DataVariance STATIC
  nodeMask 0xff
  cullingActive FALSE
  StateSet {
DataVariance STATIC
rendering_hint DEFAULT_BIN
renderBinMode INHERIT
GL_LIGHTING ON
GL_LIGHT0 ON
GL_DEPTH_TEST ON
  }
  referenceFrame RELATIVE
  Light {
UniqueID LightSource_3
DataVariance STATIC
light_num 0 //0 works but global light turned off
ambient 0.2 0.2 0.2 1
diffuse 1 1 1 1
specular 0 0 0 0
position 0 0 0 1
direction -1 0 0
constant_attenuation 1
linear_attenuation 0
quadratic_attenuation 0
spot_exponent 2
spot_cutoff 15
  }
  num_children 0
}

fly on,
markus

Rockwell B-1B Lancer "The Bone"


XX  Version Nr: 0009 14112007 XX



This aircraft model represents a hack of the B-1B variable wingsweep bomber. 
The available sweep angles are 15 (takeoff) 25 (slow flight) 45 (high altitude 
flight) 55/67 (low and high altitude fast flight). The wingsweep is simulated 
by adding lift/drag to the inner wing part. The outer wing part always stays at 
67 degrees and represents the most accurate hack ;-). Afterburner is used for 
takeoff and for rapid climb maneuvers.

 INSTRUCTIONS 

Takeoff:

- swing wing to most forward position (15) --> button D/d (present at start)
- apply 1/2 flaps
- apply full throttle
- apply afterburners
- rotate at 160 - takeoff at 170/180 with full fuel weight

Flight:

- dependent on your altitude and speed choose 15/25/45/55/67 degrees wingweep 
(d/D)
- max speed at sea level is mach 1.1, at altitude mach 1.3, because of 
structural damage to engine inlets
- typical performance speed is around mach 0.8 - 0.95 @sea level and mach 0.9 - 
1.1 at altitude.

- 15 degrees ws: used for takeoff/landing <290 knots @ sealevel
- 25 degrees ws: used for slow flight/refuelling < 360 knots @sealevel
- 45 degrees ws: used for cruise at high altitude (mach 0.6 - 0.75)
- 55 degrees ws: used for high/low alt flight (above mach 0.7)
- 67 degrees w

Ok, you got a point there, it just annoyed me to read that GFS again and 
again, maybe we should encourage the users to alter it.

Hmm, ok I get that, the problem is that chat was disabled by default and 
a lot of users weren't aware of that, so when there is human ATC on 
multiplayer, you have some chaos by some following orders and others 
don't because they can't read the massages. You can call that realism, 
and you are not wrong here ;-)

Oh yes and Curtis thanks for adding, was my first diff file - I prefer 
normal files too  :-)

Thats strange, it works flawlessly on my machine (on multiplayer), 
although the

sim/user/callsign

doesn't change your multiplayer callsign but the callsign ATC addresses 
to you, normally Golf Foxtrot Sierra.

[Flightgear-devel] B-1b update nr2

[Markus Zojer]

Sorry for the short interval, but I recognized not all files being 
updated correctly.


- please apply  -diff file (in attached folder)
- copy sub_lancer.xml (also in attached folder) to folder Submodels
- delete folder hsi in Models/Instruments-3d
- delete smoke_puff.xml in folder Submodels

That should be all, hopefully everything works now.

Many thanks,
Markus

[Flightgear-devel] Fuel Management

[Markus Zojer]

Hello everyone!

Just a short question regarding fuel management:

Are the following properties working: ??

controls/engines/engine/feed_tank
controls/fuel/tank/to_engine
controls/fuel/tank/to_tank

Since I tried them with different values (int -1,0,1..) and got no results.

Thanks,
Markus

[Flightgear-devel] B-1B update

[Markus Zojer]

Hello World :-)

Please commit the next version of the B-1, available for download here ( 
many files updated):
http://homepage.univie.ac.at/markus.zojer/fgfs/B-1B.tar.gz

+ Features a very basic and alpha terrain avoidance system, usable with 
terrain follow or alt hold:

- switch on TER AVD
- select range (currently working 2.5, selected when flying below 
<=1000ft and 5nm selected when flying >=1000ft)
- select clearance in ft, available 0=off, 100, 300, 500, 1000ft for low 
flying; always use the next smaller increment then your agl hold 
altitude eg:
agl hold 1000ft --> use 500 clearance, at 1000 you will get a very bumpy 
ride;

+ New panels and OSG only switches
+ Many updates and fixes

Thanks,
Markus

Re: [Flightgear-devel] B-1B Lancer goes cvs

[Markus Zojer]

Thanx for the reply!

The sound system is on the todo list for the next patch, didn't have 
time to review it yet. I have to dig in sounds much deeper since they 
are a key component to realism.

Fly on,
Markus

Re: [Flightgear-devel] B-1B Lancer goes cvs

[Markus Zojer]

Thanx for the reply AnMaster!

Since I am using only osg for my development, there could of course be 
some incompatabilities for the plib libraries. I experienced also 
changes in appearance when updating osg one week ago but I will 
investigate further.
This rather raw model however is just a replacement for a more accurate 
one in work now.

Fly on,
Markus

[Flightgear-devel] c130

[Markus Zojer]

Hello to the makers of the c130!

I really enjoy the flight with this plane, especially the <110kts 
landings :-)


I noticed, that the sim model is not in sync with the 3d model, so I 
changed Models/c130.xml to


c130.ac

17.0  (was 0)
0.0 
   -2.8 


of course the views have to be adjusted (see attached set file).

Maybe some finetuning is needed, keep up the work.

fly on,
markus

[Flightgear-devel] limited flap usage

[Markus Zojer]

Hi everyone!

Just discovered that flaps seem to be usable just for 1 time, it's 
possible to extend and to retract but then they refuse any further 
commands via keyboard. Can anyone verify this?
I am using a 2 week old OSG/cvs build of flightgear and tested 
jsbsim(c130) and yasim(b-52) aircraft.

c u,
markus

[Flightgear-devel] Generic aar.nas/AI properties

[Markus Zojer]

Hello all!

First off, when linking the B-2(yasim) to the generic aar.nas I 
experienced a constant switching of the engines/out-of-fuel property 
which unsurprisingly results in low thrust. Could this be related to the 
broken fuel-consumed-lbs property (of yasim?) that is jumping around 
close to zero?

Secondly, is "live" manipulating of AI model properties possible at the 
moment?

In the flightgear property browser I found orientation/true-heading-deg 
and some radar properties but I think it would come in handy to be able 
to manipulate speed, altitude and waypoints (and maybe more Wink) for an 
AI model. So it would be possible to "spawn" an AI tanker at a desired 
location or be able to launch testbeds or rockets from a plane and 
direct it to a desired location.

I am using an end feb build of osg/fg.

Maybe I missed something, thanks in advance,
markus

Hallo Melchior!

Regarding the B-2 you can delete both of the aar.nas files as they are 
not in use. They were placed there in an attempt to provide refueling in 
0.9.10 (which has no generic aar.nas) and are just there to play with, 
but as I can see a new release emerging I like the idea of simplifying 
things for the future.

g,
markus

ps: Aar, aAr, aaR ;-)

[Flightgear-devel] B-2 Spirit

[Markus Zojer]

Hello everyone!

I was in the "mood" to create a beast, the B-2, consisting of 3D model, 
FDM and some "stolen" cockpit panels. Some autopilot functions are 
misused for stabilizing the bird if you want to prevent your controls 
from overstress. Since it is a bit annoying not to see other aircraft in 
multiplayer when the aircraft model is not installed, feel free to add 
this plane to the flightgear project.
Some pictures are posted in the official flightgear forum, grab the 
plane there or here:

B-2.tar.gz 
Beeing a work in progress any feedback is welcome!

Have a nice day,
Markus
