I've been experimenting with adding the fire models to other scenery objects - like the flare stack: http://flightgear.stockill.org.uk/testing/flare.jpg The results are quite nice, but there does seem to be an issue with sub models and scenery objects. Using this to create the model: gener

[Flightgear-devel] tunnel for glide slope visualization

2007-10-02 Thread Melchior FRANZ
Here's a first stab at a glide slope tunnel visualization utility. It's a rather short Nasal script which uses the new airportinfo() function. It requires a *very* up-to-date FlightGear. To try it out just put it into ~/.fgfs/Nasal/ or $FG_ROOT/Nasal/. http://members.aon.at/mfranz/gstunnel.nas
