[Flightgear-devel] incorrect altimetry

2007-02-10 Thread John Denker
There is evidently at least one serious misconception in the code that calculates atmospheric pressure, altimeter settings, et cetera. This can be easily demonstrated: Park at or near the threshold of runway 33 at Aspen (KASE). Under standard conditions, observe that the altimeter reads 7820 feet

[Flightgear-devel] altimeter.xml

2007-02-10 Thread John Denker
The standard altimeter (used by the default c172p aircraft and many others) had been using an unhappy hodgepodge of layers. The analog Kollsman window was unusable, because it was unlabeled, and the digital altimeter setting was unusable, especially at altitudes near 2500 feet, partly from being be

In some parts of the world, (including the southwest US), a goodly fraction of the localizers have an expanded service volume (ESV), often quite a bit larger than the standard service volume you see in the AIM. The code in navradio.cxx has been ignoring the service volume information in the databa
