My observations are similar to this. However, I don't think that it's a
problem with the accuracy of the calculations as such. The route manager code
is relatively old and tries to set a straight course to it's next waypoint.
It doesn't consider the wind blowing the aircraft off its lateral trac
I'm pretty close to being finished with the new world scenery build.
A quick check with "du" shows that the previous build consumed 11.7 Gb
(extracted.) The new build consumes about 17.8 Gb extracted, which is
about 50% larger. I haven't had a chance to look closely, but I believe

I don't know how things are done in other 3D modelling softwares, but in 3D
Studio, each effect has a seperated mapping channel. For example, if you
want transparency in certain areas of a texture, you need to assign a map to
the transparency channel of that texture inorder for those certain po

The violent maneuvers I was describing occur when the plane is a few
kilometers away from the waypoint. Therefore, it should have little to do
with the way that pid controller reacts to the jump in waypoints.

OK, I finally got a big block of time to commit to building plib,
SimGear, and FlightGear from CVS, only to find that I didn't need
it. I was expecting to have to solve lots of problems; instead,
the builds went like a breeze. No problems at all.
Unfortunately, running it was problematic. I gu

If I understand the problem correctly, changing the distance at which the turn
is initiated won't make any difference - it's the way that the pid controller
reacts to the jump in input as the waypoint is popped that's causing the
abrupt change.
For example, if there are two w

Here is a shot of the King Air cockpit i'm modeling:

Also I have a question: The fuel panel texture on the left has two "semi"

I was looking at the clouds at KSFO today and noticed that the clouds were
moving towards the wind as indicated by the windsock. Windsock pointed
towards 80 deg and clouds were moving towards 260 deg.
I checked the "environment" subtree in the property browser, and sure enough
