Re: [Flightgear-devel] KLN89 GPS bindings
Yes, I do see the screen, just the buttons don't work. I can see everything on the screen, its contents are correct, etc. BTW the dot-matrix red display is pure win here on the cockpit :D This is the XML for the 3D instrument: http://pastebin.ca/1754207 This is the "panel" used to display the KLN 89's screen: http://pastebin.ca/1754191 I know, it's a workaround, but it's used in many aircraft made by Syd Adams. I also have a small issue relating to the "instrument" position: the screen's apparent position changes with the angle relative to the screen. Not very nice, I'll try to solve this. > Victhor wrote: > > Recently, I made a 3D instrument for the very good KLN 89 GPS unit in > > FlightGear.

I'm not sure why your buttons are not working, but if you want to send me your code off-list I'll take a look. However, I'm not sure that it's currently possible to use the display in a 3D instrument without source code modifications. It currently draws raw opengl in 2D directly to the screen. Having said that, I *think* it uses the same mechanism as the panel hot spots, and I seem to recall that they work on the 3D panels? On my todo list is to render the display to texture like the weather radar is, so it can be properly used in a 3D instrument. I'd be interested to know how you are getting on - do you see the display properly on your 3D instrument, but just without the buttons working?

[Flightgear-devel] KLN89 GPS bindings
Recently, I made a 3D instrument for the very good KLN 89 GPS unit in FlightGear. I was able to correctly position its screen inside the screen area in the model, but I ran into some issues, more exactly with the way the unit is controlled. The bindings for the button hotspots look like this on the XML of the 2D instrument: MSG Button 0 -285 -122 50 35 kln89_msg_pressed I tried doing something similar on the 3D model, only for it not to work. The object shows the yellow border around it, but nothing happens when the button is pressed. pick msg 1 false kln89_msg_pressed Pressing the "MSG" button would bring up the message screen, displaying "No message" on the screen. It works as expected on the 2D instrument. I tried looking on the property tree, but I don't find anything relating to the KLN 89's operation, except a prop that is used to animate a push/pull knob. So, how is this instrument controlled? I don't see nasal files for it. -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
