Hi,
I want to start to integrate an alternative terrain engine
with flightgear
(http://baron.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-devel/2004-September/030853.html)
For this, I need to adapt flightgear to use an abstract terrain API, which
will encapsulate the current and new terrain engine

Hello Erik,
That's great, I already wondered what happened to that project. This
would really be a great addition for FlightGear.
Unfortunately I am studying and currently try to compensate for the tremendous
lazyness of my past semesters :-) So that project had to wait for the
christmas
I think in this case a branch makes a lot of sense, because
otherwise the
modifications would greatly disturb the main-branch; or I
would be forced
to hold back a gigantic monolithic patch until codingtesting
has finished,
which would leave me without version control (and others

I think an abstract Terrain API is a great idea however please
keep in mind that FlightGear uses a round earth model and that
this should be reflected in any FGFS Terrain API
Is this methodology you want to integrate ?

Hi,
If my memory serves, previous big changes to the codebase have been
handled by having a conditional compilation option which switches on the
new code (and switches off some old code if needed) and putting all changes
in CVS HEAD. This allows people to try it if they want to, and avoids

yes, that's it.

Hi Norman,

Perhaps I am missing something or you have extended the engine

Hello Christian,
Probalby the easiest way would be to create an independant program
first, that communicates with FGFS via the network api.
The benefit is a very fast start on the rendering side - w/o much needed
internal FGFS knowledge and w/o the need to synchonize development at

Currently, FlightGear (SimGear, actually) always sets visibility to
near-nil when the plane is inside a cloud layer -- obviously, the
right and proper solution is 3D clouds, but until we have that
working, or at least until we can detect whether the plane is actually
near the cloudy part of a

This is due to a faulty SGSky::modify_vis() function. Actually it has
been broken since early 0.7.x as I recall it. I've never remembered to
look at it prior to a release, but I would recommend to fix that
function rather than to apply any kind of hack.
Erik,
Can you explain
I was just flying in the SFO area with the DHC2-F and flightgear crashed
with the following message:
Unknown exception in the main loop. Aborting...
Possible cause: Success
Anyone have any ideas? This is the first time I've seen anything like that.

One issue to consider is that going to nil visibility (and not drawing
the cloud plane) hides when you pass through the cloud plane. When
the cloud plane intersects the near clip plane you get some ugly
artifacts.

I think it would have to be wrapped in a SimGear exception for that to
happen, but I'd have to double-check the code.

I was taking the c182 out for some tests last day, and I brought the c182 into
some extreme attitudes. Afterward, I notice that the attitude indicator
seems to have jammed; tilted when the aircraft is in level flight. Upon
further testing, I noticed the roll rate of the indicator still
