Good news, indeed and kudos to Virgin Media!

Curt and James, what would you think about publishing the release during 
the weekend

Sept. 14./15.? Or would you prefer to stick to the 17th (a Tuesday)?

Hi Dave,

Doesn't sound quite as good as the real recording we had previously,
but the global coverage is great.

A couple of things I've noticed:
- The wind information is very hard to understand, wind is
pronounced wynd, and there isn't sufficient gap between the wind
speed, and ceiling, which itself is quite truncated.
- The word  few is missing.
- Romeo is being pronounced Romo. Might be a typo in the transcript?

I've raised these issues as bug 241 -

Hi Stuart,

Agreed, wynd/wind is particularly hard to understand.  I think there are
ways to pass pronounciation hints to festival, but haven't had the time to
figure it out yet.  Likewise, Romo might simply be festival's
pronounciation of Romeo, I hadn't noticed that one.  I'll check that it's
not a typo in the word input.

Also agreed, it would be worth checking in the script.  I'll do it when I
get a moment free.

Hi John,

At the moment, the spoken ATIS makes little sense anyway since the

Maybe if you have a text-to-speech system set up it works properly, but I
assume most people downloading the new release will not have that setup by

I am hoping to record the extra words next week during the holiday and port
the ATIS over to Durk's new ATC/AI system.  I don't know exactly when the
release is due, so I don't know if it will get done in time.

Well, actually the needed words are available.  Long ago I wrote a 
script to run the words through the festival synthesizer, all in a 
batch, to produce the .wav data and .vce index.

To work properly, atis.cxx needs not only the standard ATIS phraseology
but also the /names/ of the ATIS/AWOS sites (usually but not necessarily
airports).  If you include the names of all US airports, the .vce file
has more than 2300 entries and the .wav file is more than 30 megabytes.

Agreed.  Getting TTS to work live (as opposed to batch) is way more

I can send you the words and/or the script I used to synthesize them.

 and port the ATIS over to Durk's new ATC/AI system.

That would be a Good Thing.  Right now ATC/trafficcontrol.cxx contains
about 1000 lines of code, whereas ATC/atis.cxx contains only 1 line 
of code (and no real functionality).

There is a set of users for which the priorities are reversed, in
the sense that ATIS/AWOS is 1000 times more important than anything
trafficcontrol.cxx is going to say.

As you know, there are no currency requirements for listening to ATCT 
controllers ... whereas there are important currency requirements
for instrument approaches, and (with or without a Tower) it is hard
to shoot the approach without ATIS information such as weather, 
altimeter, approach-in-use, et cetera.

Constructive suggestion:  If you're going to port something, you 
might as well start from
  http://gitorious.org/~jsd/fg/sport-model/commits/atis

It contains some minor fixes (to get rid of warnings etc.) and
also splits the vocabulary words into a file of their own, to
make it easier on the guy who

AFAICT ./configure --enable-atcdcl has never done anything useful.
If it is enabled, the code is compiled and linked in ... but not
called.

That means that in current versions of FGFS, the ATIS feature is
really quite broken (not just disabled).  Some sort of fix (or
port) would be a significant improvement.

Yes, I think this is the way to go in the future, also the phraseology can
be refined per geographical area.  However, for now I'll just bung in the
default file for the release.  I can either do the current scheme of all the
base package airports with ATIS + a selection of very major ones, or all the
US ones with ATIS.  Is 30 MB too much to add to FG's memory requirement in

Hi All,

 After a period of having been extremely busy at work, following a switch
 of jobs and moving to a different country, I'm slowly coming back to
 life. December is already well on it's way, and it would be great if we
 could manage another major release this year.

I realize that Flightgear is an international project, but some of us live
in countries in which Christmas is approaching. I'm sure for some here
this means plenty of time for coding in the holiday season, but others
(like myself) have families, and the combination means that it's really a
bad time to get anything done except Christmas preparations with the kids.

If I describe my own situation (largely because I happen to know it), I've
just started to add the live weather functionality to the local weather
package. Right now that's experimental - it's not thoroughly tested, it
may produce errors or crap output in some conditions, the menus are not
hardened against non-functional combinations of options and so on. Live
weather is something I would like to put into a release (it's v1.0 coming
up in my internal counting after all), but as it is now, I simply
wouldn't, because it's experimental, not stable.

I can't simply do things within a two weeks deadline (especially not
before Christmas) - I have to have some more advance warning (at least a
month or so) of what is coming so that I can adjust my schedule, or it's
down to mere luck if I have time or not. I don't know if I am the only one
here...

So I'd very much prefer a scheme in which a first deadline is set for last
new features being added well in advance and then a second deadline two
weeks later (or so) for the actual release to allow for bugs to show up
and be eliminated.

Just my two cents (I have of course never participated in a Flightgear
release, but I do know how to get a research group to write a grant
application in time together...)

Cheers,

* Thorsten

 Hi,

 If we go down this route (I'm not convinced this need to be encoded in the
 models rather than stored separately for the web page) can we at least
 use XML properly? Please.

 Maybe something in this direction?

 status
  FDM type=int5/FDM
  systems type=int4/systems
  model type=int3/model
  cockpit type=int3/cockpit
 /status

To ensure backwards compatibility with the current download page and
allow a textual description
of status, I think it would be better to have the rating in a
different tag. How about

statusearly production/status
rating
  FDM type=int5/FDM
  systems type=int4/systems
  model type=int3/model
  cockpit type=int3/cockpit
/rating

I really like Hal's idea of using the rating system to provide a
guideline for the status tag. That
would allow us to move towards a consistent status tag over time,
while maintaining an element
of backwards compatibility.

I suggest the following:

18 or higher = advanced production (minimum 4 in each rating)
16 to 17 = production (minimum 4 in each rating)
12 to 15 = early production (minimum 3 in each rating)
9 to 11 = beta (minimum 2 in each rating)
7 to 9 = alpha
less than 7 = not rated

I think it's important to have minimum standards, so that the status
description provides
a fairly accurate representation of the overall quality.

Martin - does this address your concern?

If people are generally in favour, I'll write the rating system up on
the wiki and make an
announcement on the forum.

I'm also in favour of the v2.2.0 version number. Assuming this is
agreed, I'll update The
Manual.

As far as I know the latest version JSBSim is indeed a bit pickier (for

 The thing about Stuart's system is that it is very objective,  easy for devs

 development.  But it could also be used to make the current system more 
 objective and more consistent. 

Objectivity is very hard to achieve, given the fact that most FDMs are
guesswork regardless how well the numbers fit. Judging the FDM of an
Aircraft which one hasn't flown is walking on thin ice and will most
certainly lead to bad mood.

Starting point of the discussion were Users complaining about too much
incomplete Aircraft on the download Page (which is undoutably so). I'd
say it's up to the developer to decide wether the current state is
usable (from a Users point!) or not.

I assume we don't want a Top Ten Ranking System, which in my opinion
would spoil all fun in Aircraft Developing (and I wouldn't participate).

  For example we could decide that only certain 
 values will be used for status such as: 
 
 not rated
 alpha
 beta
 early production
 production 
 advanced production
 
I'd agree to the scheme, anything lower than early production woludn't
appear on the Download page. Criterea should be the Usability of the
Aircraft. A basic flight and engine instrumentation should be mandatory
and an FDM which is flyable and doesn't exaggerate published performance
values too much.

[Flightgear-devel] New release

2010-12-11 Thread Durk Talsma
Hi All,

After a period of having been extremely busy at work, following a switch of 
jobs and moving to a different country, I'm slowly coming back to life. 
December is already well on it's way, and it would be great if we could manage 
another major release this year. Behind the scenes, James Turner has been 
working hard to automize many aspects of the release process, so we should be 
relatively well off. Currently, there are still a few release blocking  bugs, 
but in general, I think that prospect of a release is pretty good. 
Nevertheless, there are still a few things that we need to make a decision on. 

Firstly, what is the next version number going to be. My initial thought would 
be 2.1.0, but it also makes sense to call if 2.2.0 (thanks for the suggestion, 
James), so that we can reserve 2.1.0. for bugfixes on the current version, or 
at least move toward a versioning system like that (i.e. the next series could 
be 2.2.0 for stable, and 2.3.0. for development). 

Seconly, do we want to maintain our current aircraft selection, or do we want 
to include a (partially) updated selection from our git repository, or 
-alternatively- do we want to strip the entire selection down to just single 
aircraft, and make the others downloadable from our main website. I know that 
James turner is working towards an infrastructure that should enable this, but 
I'm not sure whether we are already comfortable enough to just use one single 
aircraft. On a related note, I would consider shipping the base flightgear 
distribution entirely without the AI directory, and also make that available as 
a separate distribution. but again, I'm not comfortable about this as long as

Great news Durk! One thing that came up in my mind: would it be good to write a 
post at the forum, to stimulate
people to put their planes into Git as soon as possible? We have quite some 
nice (GPL) stuff hanging around, that's 
not been commited yet and it would be a shame if they won't end up on the 
official download page...

 Firstly, what is the next version number going to be. My initial thought 
 would be 2.1.0, but it also makes sense to 
 call if 2.2.0 (thanks for the suggestion, James), so that we can reserve 
 2.1.0. for bugfixes on the current version

But if there comes a bugfix release, it is more recent than the initial 
release. 2.1.0 would suggest the bugfix was
relased before 2.2.0 IMO... Since this new release is a major release, the 
initial release could be named 2.1.0 and 
the bugfix could be called 2.1.1. 

I am not a versioning expert however; there are probably people with much 
better ideas/knowledge on this list :)

 Seconly, do we want to maintain our current aircraft selection, or do we want 
 to include a (partially) updated selection 
 from our git repository

What exactly is the current aircraft selection? We did welcome some extremely 
nice aircraft this year (the ASK-13 glider
for example and the new Cub), which might replace some of the current selected 
aircraft in level of completeness/quality...

Actually I'm not sure if this is the right (TM) procedure. If people
are serious about their stuff, then they'll have to learn to commit
their stuff early _without_ being faced with some release deadline.
If they don't, their problem - next time, after the release passed
without their contribution included, they probably commit earlier.

The traditional scheme that a few people have to work fulltime for a
couple of days during the release process just because others have
simply been lazy over the past year doesn't have to be this way.

  That is a good idea, the Development/Aircraft forum would be the
obvious choice.

  I'm thinking two weeks notice once a clear release date has been
established should be enough for a code freeze and for most folk to put
in their fgdata merge requests from their own repositories.

This sentence was written in hurry and therefore came out a little bit
incomplete: Please substitute lazy by lazy wrt. committing. In fact
I _do_ know that modelling a detailed aircraft is an extremely huge

 +1! A scheme which covers stable/unstable (GIT) versions seems a very good
idea. Many people are using the GIT version, so it'd be good to have a
specific version for such builds. But bugfixes should only affect the third
version number then, i.e. a bugfix for the 2.0 stable should be 2.0.1. It
sill makes sense to move to 2.2.0 now - stable release versions should be
even.

 Seconly, do we want to maintain our current aircraft selection, or do
we want to include a (partially) updated selection from our git
repository, or -alternatively- do we want to strip the entire
selection down to just single aircraft, and make the others
downloadable from our main website. I know that James turner is
working towards an infrastructure that should enable this, but I'm not
sure whether we are already comfortable enough to just use one single
aircraft.

 The new system allowing multiple aircraft dirs works great. However, it
seems not too many people have used it so far.
And at some point after the release, we wanted to split FGDATA into several
smaller repositories (I know Tim has already been working on this), so we'd
be introducing a new system for 2.3 (GIT) / 2.4 (future stable) anyway. So
it might be better to stick with the current system for this release and not
have another unnecessary intermediate. And we'd get a lot of GIT users
testing the new directory and distribution system with 2.3.0 - so that would
be rock stable for 2.4.

I agree with Martin that we should try to encourage aircraft developers to 
commit frequently, but nevertheless, I do believe that it would be a good 
opportunity to make people aware of the fact that they should not miss the 
deadline. 

 
 What exactly is the current aircraft selection? We did welcome some extremely 
 nice aircraft this year (the ASK-13 glider
 for example and the new Cub), which might replace some of the current 
 selected aircraft in level of completeness/quality...
 

We currently have the following selection:

Modern Day Airliner:Boeing 777-200
World War II Fighter:   A6M2 Zero
Twin Propliner: B1900d
Helicopter: BO105
Single Engine GA:   Cessna 172 P
Twin Small Turbo Jet:   Citation X
Ultralight: Dragonfly
Rugged Bushplane:   Dehavilland DHC2
Modern Fighter: F-14b
Light Towplane: Piper Cup (old version IIRC)
Small twin piston prop: Piper Seneca II
Sopwith Camel:  Historic aircraft from the Dawn of Aviation
UFO:Secret
ZLT-NT: Advanced Lighter than Air vehicle


Over last couple of years, we have tried to limit our selection to having one 
representative of each major class of aircraft.  While the list is typically 
quite stable, we try to circulate a couple of aircraft each year, to show new 
developments and highlight some new work. As far as I can tell we already 
included the new Cub in the base package, but I did notice that we apparently 
don't have a glider available. 

In general, I'm quite happy with the current selection, but there are probably 
some new developments that I might have missed. As said before, suggestions are 
welcome. :-)

I understand that Release soon, release often is one way and even the better 
way to work in a OpenSource-Developement. 

But I agree to Gijs that it would be more than nice to add a reminder and a 
information about the started release procedure-  we need the help of the users 
to find out bugs and other problems.

That people don't let it commit to GIT is due to the fact, that many people 
already are not happy that we have about 200-300 aircrafts, where the majority 
of is not really usuable or draw a wrong image of FlightGear.
We have discussed this in the forum and the conclusion was that we need a 
seperation of the Aircrafts on the Download page in several categories like 
Alpha, in developement, Production. The long discussed rating sheme was one of 
this conclusion.

Cheers
Heiko

Well, if people decide not to commit their work to GIT for _this_

I think the current system of a selection of the best of category is much
better than stripping down to one aircraft.

If we go down this route (I'm not convinced this need to be encoded in the

Maybe something in this direction?

When information is structured that should be reflected in the XML (and

Actually we don't, in contrast, we already _do_ have sort of a (simple)

you'll see quite a few having the respective Status attribute
assigned.
I wonder if introducing a more complex schema for use with the download
page is going to reach its goal if even the simple schema isn't being
applied consistently.  And I heavily doubt wether a couple of figures
really serve the user better than easily comprehensible terms like
pre-alpha or early-production.

I think you're talking about how to run while it yet has to be
determined how to walk.

 ftp://ftp.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Misc_rag/fgfs-builder-current.tar.gz
 (alias
 ftp://ftp.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Misc_rag/fgfs-builder-20061108.tar.gz)
 
 Arnt, I tried to add a brlcad product with your configure-options from
 the old builder, but it fails on ./autogen.sh, so I'll have to dig a
 bit further into that.

..I'll do that digging, there's been a wee revolution in that part of
the US Army so lay off and await my brlcad patch.  ;o)

 Cheers,
 Ralf

  * fixed fgrun dependencies
  
  * splitup wrapup targets and added wrapup-source to include
all downloaded sources in the wrapup
  
  * added mechanisms for declaring reverse dependencies;
now a package can also declare other packages to depend on it;
see openal and alut products for example
  
  * removed dangerous rm -Rf for install directory on realclean
  
  * additional options for patch and unpatch to make it more
  stable
  
  * added possibility for local configuration in
  config/config.local;
we might add configuration files for different platforms in
this directory
  
  * extended 'help' target
  
  * added an enable/disable mechanism;
only FlightGear, FlightGear-base and their crucial
dependencies (excluding openal and alut) are enabled by
default; others are disabled
  
  * thanks to Douglas Campos for the following patches:
  - openal and alut products
  - autoupdate patch
  - SimGear alut patch

[Flightgear-devel] New Release of fgfs-builder

2006-11-07 Thread Ralf Gerlich
Hello all,

I have just released a new version of fgfs-builder at
ftp://ftp.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Misc_rag/fgfs-builder-current.tar.gz

The new version includes the setup for the new OSG-based version. I
modularised the structure of the build system. It still includes
automatic checkout from CVS and source-downloads where possible.

Cheers,
Ralf

preliminary and very ugly patches to build openal and alut from svn

I'm sure that this autoconf hack is specific for ubuntu edgy (and yes,
it is ugly)

As I say in the README.txt, I included all packages which cannot be
typically expected to be available in a distribution or as applicable
binaries or need additional patches. However, I already made an
exception by including OpenProducer and OpenThreads.

 ..can I build both plib-FG and osg-FG etc outta the same trees, 
 or will I need to set up separate plib-SG 'n plib-FG etc trees, to 
 benchmark the plib FG against the osg FG?

Currently the builder builds only the OSG-version, but I intend to
provide products for the plib-version. These should be usable in the
same sourcetree.

 ..excellent clean-up job, Ralf  :o)  

Thanx! :-)

 exept you forgot my brlcad patch.  ;o)

I know. I just wanted to get this out ASAP as I'll be away a few days
from now on without net connectivity and it already took to long
counting from the day where Mathias released the OSG updates. ;-)

I'll be back on Friday.

Cheers,
Ralf

Looks good.

 I'm sure that this autoconf hack is specific for ubuntu edgy (and yes,
 it is ugly)

What exactly does autoupdate do on ubuntu? Is it an alternative for
autogen.sh and autoreconf? I'd say that the autogen.sh - if provided -
should get precedence over any other regeneration mechanism.

 can someone help-me with dependencies patch?

Doesn't look as if you need any help there. Looks good as well.

Thanks for sending these.

 thanx to pigeon (#flightgear) for pointing it out

I also want to make a note here to point out that I've got this
issue before, which is when you build SG it fails when building all the
SG test programs, and the cause is it's not linking with -lalut. But
then at some point I do not have this issue anymore.

My feeling is either there's some autotools weirdness, or somehow
libopenal should depend on libalut but it's not when it was built, etc.
Never got around to look into this deeply cause we're all
lazy^H^H^H^Hbusy :)

Thanks.

[Flightgear-devel] New release of JSBSim at JSBSim.org

2006-01-16 Thread Jon S. Berndt
I've packaged up the latest JSBSim code into 0.9.10 (Pre-v1.0). It is
available in the Files section of www.sf.net/projects/jsbsim.

There are executables built for several versions of Linux: i386, PPC, AMD64.
There is a Win32 executable. Simplot is available there for Win32. The
source archive is also there for all platforms. The config file converter is
there as a Win32 binary, as well.

Jon
