Re: [Flightgear-devel] view options
Hi Dave, I checked again, if I start with a 4:3 resolution the gages remain round when maximizing to 1680*1050 by clicking the square in the upper right corner. I am running win xp, compiled on msvc-express. The same, if I start with --resolution=800x600. If I start with --resolution=1680x1050 the gages are not round, but the property browser seem to show the same values in sim/current-view.

Hi Maik, If I use the command line to launch with the default 800x600 window and then use the gnome window maximize (i.e. click the square in upper right corner of the window), I get the distorted-aspect-ratio image filling the screen.

For the first time in several months, I built fgfs for osg from fresh svn and fresh cvs. What I noticed right away that has changed is that osg fgfs does not handle the --geometry=1680x1050 correctly anymore. The height of the image is too small for the width. The gages are not round. The plib branch still handles this correctly. Are you seeing what I am seeing or have I missed a patch? When I adjusted the width of the window until round objects are round and then measure the aspect ratio of the adjusted window, the aspect ratio is 4/3. Here is what comparing the plib to the osg response to changing the value of /sim/current-view/aspect-ratio-multiplier tells me: In plib, it adjusts the displayed aspect ratio. I can get the same distortion in plib fgfs as in osg fgfs by changing this value to ~1.2 instead of 1. But if I try to "fix" the view in osg fgfs by adjusting this value from 1 to 0.8333, all it does is scale the distorted image. i.e. it is adjusting the effective fov, not the aspect ratio. - Dave Perry - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] view options
Hi, it takes into account the aspect ratio of the window. If it is 4:3 everything is unchanged. If it is larger (e.g. 1024:704) you will get a higher field of view. Maybe you can try the patch (or set fov to 55/(4/3)*(1024/704) = 60 in the property tree: /sim/current-view/field-of-view) and check, if it is noticeable, and if yes: if it is better or worse than the 55.

My monitor is 4:3, but the window isn't. AnMaster, same problem here: I guess 55° is horizontal, when the ration changes, fgfs or wich evre subsys crops the images at the top and the botom so the horizontal field is still 55°. If I'm right, I would say that with generalized wide formats, we should keep the legacy fixed field (55° * 3:4) in the vertical axis and increase the field on the horizontal axis.

Currently I've added --prop:/sim/current-view/field-of-view=70 to my fgfsrc file , and that works great but Ive noticed that the fov height changes when going from windowed to maximized window ... so yeah it would be nice to at least keep that the same But I better stay out of this , I tend to jinx things ;) Cheers -- Syd&Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi,
Maik Justus schrieb am 26.12.2007 20:38:
Hi Syd,
what's about an algorithm, which checks the ratio of the screen and sets
fow to 55 for 4:3 screens and 70 for 16:9 screens? (55 / 70 = (4/3) /
(16/9) )
Maik
P.S.:
for non-physicists:
(55 / 73,333 = (4/3) / (16/9) )
Meanwhile I have a new computer wit 16:9 screen and the same problem.
I've modified the calculation in viewer.cxx as mentioned above. Syd,
please check, if this would work for you. Then we can think about, how
to implement that in a clean way (maybe we need an FG_SCALING_HEIGHT
case?). The patch is for the osg-branch, but it works with the plib
branch, too (maybe some lines offset).

I Don't know if it my changes I simply applies Stuarts and Syd When I adjust Up/Down The dial rotates but the value always stays the same 1.84m (using 737-300) ??

Re: [Flightgear-devel] view options : new idea
Hi All I love the new changes Stuart did, the reset button is great. Is there still anyway to add a text field? EG When I try to adjust fwd/back. Move the slider 1/2 a degree and you move 1m is distance. Anyway to fine tune that. Where you can enter the value 1.005m instead of 1.004m ???

It adds the FoV to the Adjust View Distance dialog, and adds a Reset button for when you've messed up.

[Flightgear-devel] view options : new idea
Hi all... Just had another thought ... Maybe a simpler idea would be to have the sim/view/config/field-of-view property added to the autosave function ? This way it could be set per aircraft but that still means editing the properties in the property browser ... just thinking out loud :) Cheers -- Syd&Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi Syd, what's about an algorithm, which checks the ratio of the screen and sets fow to 55 for 4:3 screens and 70 for 16:9 screens?

Hi All I would Agree and like to suggest that the View Distance also have an edit field to type in the number. Trying to move the dials is far to excessive for a minute change.

Hi everyone , and merry christmas... I'm busy playing with my new 1440x900 flat - panel monitor ...wow what a difference in FG ! Which gave me an idea maybe others would appreciate too Before this , a default field 0f view of 55 was about right ... now I need to set it to 70 for a good view .
