[Flightgear-devel] Instrument in outside view?

2011-09-25 Thread Adam Dershowitz, Ph.D., P.E.
Is there any way to display instruments when using any of the outside views? For example, can I place an altimeter in the corner of the chase view? I have tried changing some of the view and instrument properties, but it seems like the panel is always hidden, except for the actual inside view.

I seem to have run into a problem with NASAL permissions. I have a script that is giving me permission errors when it runs. The scrip is in data/Nasal. It contains this line: var file=io.open("data/latlong.csv",mode="r"); and gives this error: Nasal runtime error: io.open(): op

I just downloaded the new 2.4 release for Mac. If I try to launch the app, it just immediately quits. I can successfully run this version of FlightGear from the command line, so the problem must be with the launcher. I am not sure the best way to report this, so I am starting here. Running

[Flightgear-devel] Display existing path?

2011-09-11 Thread Adam Dershowitz, Ph.D., P.E.
Is there any easy way to show a prior route in Flightgear? In other words, if I have a set of recorded GPS points (lat,long, alt) in a text file can I display them in 3-D space, as I am flying in flightgear? Ideally I would like points (some box or sphere icon?) connected with line segments. T

Instead of trying to put together a list, you should watch a video of George Carlin's "Seven dirty words." Censorship is not the solution to this kind of problem. It is just too easy to come up with a way to be offensive, or to threaten someone. If you decide to censor, then YOU take the res

A while back I was trying to read in lat/long and found a lot of jitter. I finally found that FG generic was actually only able to read in floats. At that time I found that the designation in the format was just being used for output of variables. But for input they were being put into the ac
