Hi Georg,

Try virtualisation software such as vmware (vmplayer is a free download)
I found it a lot easier than mainatining multiple OS's if you are
limited with machines.

 AJ, thank you very much for testing.
 
 This is very bad, I did not expect so. Sorry for that :-/
 
 I have to do a little more research about the specialities of the Linux
 version of the compiler now.
 Maybe I'd better installed the 32bit version of OpenSuse to have more
 compatibility.
 
 Thank you once again for the time you spent doing the test!
 
 Regards
 Georg

I forget to mention something - you have to unzip the apt.dat.gz in the
folder FlightGear/data/Airports before starting with FGTools initial setup.
Sorry, will change this in the Quickstarter.txt file.

I like to test things where I can spare the time, and so am trying this with 
interest (though I can't really see myself using a graphical front end 
regularly).

Anyway, could you maybe supply the source as well as the binary?  The binary 
won't run on this box being an ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64 and my 
slightly ancient box being a lowly 32 bit AthlonXP.

Of course, you could just supply a more generic 32 bit binary but it's always 
nice to have the source too.

The source is Pascal (Lazarus) not C++, so I doubt it will be useful for
anyone here on the list. :-)
If *anyone* really wants to work seriously with Lazarus code then I
won't hesitate to make it available but that would mean a lot lot lot of
hours work for me to cut it out of my big tools libraries. So this is
only done if one really will *work* with it for improvement or anything
else, not just for interest.

 won't run on this box being an ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64 and my 
 slightly ancient box being a lowly 32 bit AthlonXP.

   
I am developing on OpenSuse 10.1 86x_64 *but* I compiled for *i386* cpu
to make it as compatible as possible. The compiled binary works without
problems on my 64bit system.
But these are my Win32 experiences - not good enough to be sure with
Linux. My hope is there are people trying the binary and telling me
whether it works or not on their system. Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm not sure that worked as intended - it looks _very_ much like a 64 bit 
binary to me...

 But these are my Win32 experiences - not good enough to be sure with

[Flightgear-devel] [Fwd: FGTools for LINUX]

2006-10-17 Thread Georg Vollnhals













Hi,
as I migrated to OpenSuse 10.1 Linux a short time ago I converted all
FGTool stuff to Linux for my own use.

Download: (about 2.7 M)
http://home.arcor.de/vollnhals-bremen/FGTLinux/FGToolsLinux.tar.gz

The Linux version with a slighly changed GUI (several reasons) but the
*same* functionality for both O/S is now available.
I call it a BETA although this stuff worked under Win32 for a long time
without any problems. But pathes are different with Linux, I was the
only user until now who tested it (Linux version) and I don't know
whether all is put together into one program by the compiler or there
are any dependencies (ie. to installed gtk ???).
A really big manual (25 pages PDF) is enclosed and a Quickstarter
Textfile. The pictures and descriptions in the PDF are referenced to the
Windows version but this should be no problem as only the GUI has
changed  a *little* but not the engine behind all.
You might start with the step for step Quickstarter and if the
programs works for you and you have more interest in model placement or
making AI files then reading the manual would be a good idea.

I hope that there are some interested testers for the Linux version out
here and that you give the needed feedback.

Have fun!

Regards
Georg HeliFlyer EDDW

Type  ICAO code or Name-Fragment into Airport filed, press Search,
if wrong result press Repeat until found
Check box left to Airport
Select Aircraft
   
11. Press Button Run FlightGear

##
Model Placement Quickstarter
##

1. All pathes have to be set already (= Prerequisites)
A) THE UFO

2. Go to the place you want to place a model
3. press m
4. select the model to place from the list
5. left mouse click on the ground to position selected model

normally: top - path is shown like home//.fgfs
  right - filename shown ufo-model-export.xml
press ok
13. all content of the UFO cursor file is added to the related *stg
file but NOT written to disk now!
have a look into the checkbox/editbox at the bottom of the
Models page
new models are written at the *end* of the list, scroll down
if you don't want to have a model written to the data, uncheck
it on the list
(ie. if the cursor model has been placed by you unintentionly)
14. press button Save scenery file - now the changes are stored
into your FG system
15. Start FG and enjoy
