[Flightgear-devel] [Announce] (electrical) circuit simulation

2010-04-13 Thread Torsten Dreyer
Hi all, this is just to let you know that I am currently experimenting with gnucap integration into FlightGear. Gnucap is the Gnu Circuit Analysis Package, much like (p)spice or it's derivates. Unlike spice, it's GPL'ed and should give the ability to perform detailed and exact electrical circui

[Flightgear-devel] gnu linker question (don't optimize unused variables)

2010-04-15 Thread Torsten Dreyer
Hi, this is a question for the gnu linker geek: I am trying to add gnucap to FlightGear as posted before. It compiles cleanly and links fine, but there is one issue. Gnucap uses commands which are implemented in separate files. These commands get registered into a global command registry. Here

Hi, most of you have probably heard of Eyjafjallajökull, a volcano in Iceland that has erupted under a glacier and blew a giant ash cloud into the atmosphere. The currently very strong jetstream over iceland took a good chunk of that cloud and delivered it straight to central Europe, leading to

[Flightgear-devel] New autopilot feature: flip flops

2010-05-24 Thread Torsten Dreyer
Hi, triggered by an idea of James aka zakalawe, the xml autopilot has now the ability to implement flip flops. They provide a method to add a state to the logic of an autopilot and probably may remove the need for many lines of supporting nasal code. Please refer to http://wiki.flightgear.org
