[Flightgear-devel] [ANN] - Buccaneer - Back seat ride
Hi, Tonight we carried out our first ride in the backseat of a Buccaneer over MP, thanks to some excellent recent work by Melchior and Anders. AJ was the intrepid Observer/passenger, and reported himself well pleased with the experience. To try it you need the Pilot and Observer on MP in the Buccaneer, and then the Observer selects the Model Cockpit View (V/v), then cycles through the cockpit views (Q/q) until he reaches the back seat of the Buccaneer. That's it - the Pilot can then fly with his Observer aboard. Sick bag might be necessary :-). Only available in cvs, of course, and there's much work to be done to both generalise this to all mp aircraft, and to provide the appropriate facilities and connectivity in the backseat so that the Observer can be more than just a passenger. AJ was navigating using the MPMap, so that's a start. Anders is hard at work extending this into a co-pilot facility - watch this space. Meanwhile - if you are on MP we're aboard and watching you :-). Regards Vivian - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

We can probably fix it quite quickly in plib, but haven't thought through the consequences yet. V. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?

[Flightgear-devel] [ANN] Buccaneer
Hi, I've just added a fuel dump facility to the Buccaneer. A screenshot is here: ftp://abbeytheatre2.org.uk/fgfs/Screen-shots/bucc-fuel-jettison.jpg Looks nice? Don't be fooled: the particles are firmly tied to the aircraft. There is much work to be done to integrate particles into FG. Not least the right frame of reference, and the proper wind.
