James I have just run a very quick check on a few aircraft. My apologies, but I should have used the word opaque and not translucent. F22 (jsbsim) has an opaque HUD, Mirage F1 has an opaque cockpit. They are both transparent when Rembrandt is disabled. The Saab Draken seems to have no cockpit

AJ Thanks for the reply. I haven't looked at the Lightning for some time, but as my TSR2 (still in development) suddenly started producing funny glitches in the engine sound I went back to your Lightning, from which I had stolen this particular piece of code (many GPL thanks). Subsequently I h

[Flightgear-devel] Problem with the submodel life for FG version 2.0.0

2012-10-01 Thread Raghvendra Misra
I am using FlighGear version 2.0.0 in linux platform. Recently i added submodel "Trajectory Marker" to the aircraft f-14b The life of the model is set as 5 through the .xml file. On triggering, the Trajectory Markers are displayed correctly but does not disappear after 5 sec ( as set in the .xml fi

[Flightgear-devel] ATIS bug (after sim reset)

2012-10-01 Thread James Turner
There's something odd happening with ATIS, after a sim-reset: you get reports for many stations, none of which are geographically close, continuously. This is a recent regression, probably my fault, but if anyone else has any insights, particularly when it first occurred, or other ways to trigge

I'm trying to understand why clouds can obscure hills and hills can obscure clouds properly. My individual bits of knowledge are: * clouds are drawn from outside in, because they are in a depth sorted bin, and this is why clouds obscure other clouds properly. * hills are not drawn from outsid

I'm trying to catch up with recent developments, and I've pulled and compiled an up-to-date snapshot today. One thing I stumbled across by accident is that we seem to have lost the ability to do software rendering as a fallback. If I start today's Flightgear binary without access to the GPU dev
