[Flightgear-devel] Terrain shadows and VASI

2003-12-29 Thread Hoyt A. Fleming
Curt, One quick way to demonstrate the effect of pitch on terrain shadows is to bypass the ambient, diffuse and specular tables which base the light values on the sun's angle with respect to the horizon. In FGLight::update_sky_color () after: float ambient = _ambient_tbl->interp

2003-12-29 Thread Hoyt A. Fleming
A month or so ago I noticed that the VASI lights vary based upon the pitch of the aircraft. Over the holiday break, I noticed that the terrain shadows also vary based upon the pitch of the aircraft. I spent a couple of hours tracing the lighting code but did not locate any location to compensate

[Flightgear-devel] VASI question

2003-12-01 Thread Hoyt A. Fleming
I was shooting an approach with FG and noticed that when I pitch up the aircraft, the VASI lights turn white. Similarly, when I pitch down the aircraft, the VASI lights turn red. I loaded the UFO and verified the VASI lights change color when the UFO is stationary and the pitch of the UFO varies.

[Flightgear-devel] Full Screen Anti-Aliasing (FSAA) stops working in "game mode"

I am running Flightgear on an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro at 1024 x 768 resolution. The ATI full screen anti-aliasing (FSAA) eliminates the "jaggies" when "game mode" is disabled. However, FSAA has no effect, when "game mode" is enabled. I just downloaded the latest drivers from ATI and the problem still
