[Flightgear-devel] Error compiling FG 0.80

2002-09-28 Thread Sydney Weidman
Hi! I was just trying to compile the latest release of FG, but I got a bunch of errors. I notice the errors involve gcc 3.2 stdc++ headers, so maybe I have used an unsupported version of gcc. Some compiler error messages follow. Thanks for this entertaining and interesting software. Regards,

[Flightgear-devel] Documentation bug

2002-09-28 Thread Sydney Weidman
I don't know if the man pages are being kept current, but I thought I would point this out anyway. The man page fgfs.1 lists FGROOT under environment variables, but the program seems to want to use FG_ROOT. Great program! Just wanted to contribute in some small way. Regards, Syd. __

I've just checked in a new pitot system and airspeed-indicator instrument to FlightGear CVS. Here's how everything works: 1. The pitot system reads /environment/pressure-inhg (p), /environment/density-slugft3 (r), and /velocities/uBody-fps (v). It then calculates q (dynamic pressure) with
