[Flightgear-devel] props protocol problem

2011-04-15 Thread Pascal J. Bourguignon
The props data protocol ls command has a problem: there's no way to determine that its output is complete (unless we use a timer, which would mean that all ls commands would suspend the client for the time out duration). I'm proposing to add a lsx command, similar to ls, but that will terminate i

[Flightgear-devel] fg_property_scale

2011-04-12 Thread Pascal J. Bourguignon
Hello, It seems to me that in fg_property_scale, it would be more useful if the power was applied after the linear scaling. The problem I have is to map the radar range axis, from [-1.0,+1.0] to [5.0,200.0]. But a linear scale is not too nice, so I'd want to apply a power 2.5 or 2.7. Unfortunat
