FLY Developer's Forum

Hi developers!After 3 month of trial Flylegacy is running on my computer.I use Visual Studio 2005 to compile it an had to change more 12 modules to get it running (there seem to be a lot of differences to older VS implementations).As soon as Chris adds me to the developer list I can start to contribute.In the meantime there are some errors in my BGLtools to correct. BGL2SHP V1.1 will be ready soon thanks to my Testers Boshua and Daniel Tona.Harald

Hi allI would like to contribute to Flylegacy but I still get the assertion error and than Flylegacy crashes during initialisation.I added a screenshot an the debug-log.I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition and have downloaded the Flylegacy version from 28.12.2005.Maybe someone could update the projectfiles. Joystick.cpp is not included and will therfor not be compiled.Maybe have a problem with WIN-threads ?Which Version of pthread to use ? The project requestet pthreadVC2.dll. I did ot find anything about this file in the flylegacy documentation, so I downloadad a compiled version.any help or ideas welcomeHappy new yearHarald

Hi Chris,I've managed to get FlyLegacy to compile and link successfully. I haven't yet managed to run it, but hope to tackle that today.Cheers, TC

G'day all,On looking at the *.wng file I see a table for " Drag Verses Angle of attack".I can only assume that the drag in question is TOTAL wing drag. I can't find any reference for Profile drag?I understand that the table data is in Format 1 which is A B notation and I understand that Fly! II interpolates in a linear fashion between one set of data to the next.My problem is the second line from the bottom where there are 4 entries on the line instead of the expected two. Is anyone able to tell me what the 4 entries on the second line from the bottom represent??? I've noticed that this in all "Drag verses angle of attack" tables but not in "lift verses angle of attack" …

Hi ChrisRunning Flylegacy I get the error "Debug Assertion failed". -> see added screenshot.Any idea what I am doing wrong ?thanksHarald

How to drive the aircraft with my own data?Thanks

How to replace the aviation dynamical data controled by fs?

seems to me that I have no support from this community, But as I promised dajackmanFlydevelopers.comwill make a comeback.As you can see by the link below this is only a start Webhosting is allready in place and visual web developer 2005 is pretty easy to work with , as support for PHP is also in placeHopefully all will find this new site informative ,Please support me with any info as much as possiable.Just like fly needs its developers, This web site needs youthanks pilotsim7828 http://flydevel.setupmyblog.com/

Check his flight sim. It's not finished but it's a masterpiece, considering that he's writing it all by himself. We should ask him to contribute to FLY Legacy... he's French and perhaps the ROTW folks might want to write him an email.. http://matt-online.homeip.nethttp://msdn.labtech.epitech.net/cs/blogs/matttony

There is probably a way for developers to be automatically notified of CVS commits from the SF web site, but I'm not sure how...so in the meantime here are the latest commits that I've made. I'll commit Laurent's altimeter changes asap.Committed 9-Oct-2005- Created new virtual CGauge class, GetClassName to return C++ class name for debugging- Eliminated duplicate logging of invalid tags in gauge Read()- Eliminated warning log flooding when a message has no receiver (only one warning will be generated)- Moved CDataMap and related classes to new source code file UtilityDataMap.cpp and removed MainBaseObjects.cpp- Fixes to CDataMap and related classes to remove warnings…

Hi ChrisI have downloaded the following librariesfreeglut-2.4.0al11sdkplib-1.8.4tiff-win32-3.6.1STLport-4.6.2Jpeg-6b-4Trying to compile Flylegacy I get an error in Flylegacy.h line 666 "missing Bracket".So first I want to check if the libraries mentioned above are exactly the same versions you are using to compile.thanksHarald

Hi ChrisCompiling timemanager I get some overloading errors. Any idea ? I add the log.thanksHarald

I've created a mailing list for developers on the SourceForge site. I will post all CVS commit notices to this list rather than here in the forum. Let's keep other discussions about problems, work on-hand etc. in this forum so it gets wider visibility...but I don't think everybody is interested in details of the code churn...You can subscribe at the following URL: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flylegacy-develChris WallaceOttawa, Canada

Before any attempt to commit something to the CVS (besides, I'm not authorized to "write"), I want to share with you the first files I started to modify (currently the gauges and subsystem serie).Just place them in the relative folders and it should work (a complete compilation is likely to be done).I'm working in the Lookup area now, before any further, because I want to use the 'gtbl' data to turn the needles in their proper position.Probably, I'm about to make some slight changes in the CDataMap class tree ...Question : Besides the new terrain installation I can't see any terrain below the plane (only dark ...) Is it normal or I'm I doing something wrong ?laurentPS : I…

I've just committed a change to fix up the Release build settings, note that libtiff is not actually required, so I have removed it from the library list. The Install.txt also listed it as a requirement; it used to be, but I found incompatibility problems with libtiff and the TIFF textures generated by some graphics programs so I just wrote my own basic TIFF loader. I have removed Install.txt and will use Readme.txt exclusively from now on to avoid conflicts.Also as per Roland's suggestion, I've started splitting out areas of the code into independent libraries. So far, the POD filesystem interface and the whole UI/FUI section are split out into their own static libs. …

G'day all,Does anyone know if Fly! II supports an aircraft having both reciprocating piston engines and gas turbine engines.Just curious..... :-)Cheers,Roger

Laurent, Roland and others,Just a heads-up that you will need to add another dependent library for FlyLegacy soon. Get the latest stable pthreads-win32 library from http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/I'll be adding multithreading to the terrain code soon to handle loading/unloading of terrain textures in the background.Chris WallaceOttawa, Canada

Hi there all,I'm installing FlyLegacy (in order to give an hand in development, of course) and I've faced some difficulties I will expose here to help anyone else wanting to compile the CVS repository with MSVC6++.- first, preparing the VC6++ environment I had to link the libtiff.lib in addition to the jpeg library and the plib library (and incidentally download libtiff3.dll and zlib1.dll from the web : these dlls are placed in the fly!II main root with jpeg62.dll and glut32.dll which are yet provided). The libtiff.lib must be added to the linked libraries dialog list (settings : Links tab)- the debug preprocessor definitions are good but not the release ones (just copy d…

Hello to all. I am trying to render a scene directly with Terrascene. concretly in Seattle the globetile 168,166. Everything is OK up to a moment in which there gives a mistake to bring a file DEM 75. I believe that it is a problem of the servant where there is the information USGS. Someone has had the same problem? It has solution? For example putting the information manually. Of where I bring them?... A greetingAndres Abrain

The CVS 'docs' branch has been updated. I've created a new "Developers Guide" that describes some of the debugging facilities available, as well as starting to describe coding style guidelines and Doxygen commenting recommendations. Note that the current code base breaks a lot of these "rules" (suggestions really) but over time I'll try to fix things up to get everything in sync with the document.The INI Settings guide has also been updated, note that use of the terrainDebugLevel may be required temporarily when I submit some interim terrain system code soon...

I need some help in animating the nose wheels on the emb120. Which part do I rotate(animate) for steering? the wheel axle or the wheels, or another part? And is this done in less than 30 frames? I am confused about the 30 frames for gear retraction and all the other parts and the required "fewer " frames.thanks.tony

I was wondering if anyone had contacts or knowledge about job leads in aviation sims in the Orlando area. I did really enjoy working on many areas of FLY and FLY2k from 1997-2000. Who else would know better than FLY fans? Scott

Does anyone know why the B200 ngn, eng,and prp files, when transferred to the new aircraft model,the embraer 120, don't let the plane accellerate properly. The new plane crawls to takeoff speed. I am curious to know what variables other than those found in these three files, may be responsible for this behavior. The aircraft weight,in this case, is not a factor. Is there some 3d model connection?, such as the numbering order of the props? One would think that a simple transfer of the files would take care of the powerplant requirements. I changed hp and rpm , but the plane still does not accellerate properly. Also, at full throttle, the plane seems to not want to go past …

The right props disappear after angine start in the new emb120. In order to determine the cause, I removed all animation in 3dsmax for those props, including the rotation. Yet in FLY2, the props spin and disappear after throttle is applied. The left one is perfect. Only the right one is behaving odd. Any ideas? tony

Hello to all. I have in project to create an area of Andalusia Spain with Terrascene, but I meet with the inconvenience that not you where to discharge the files " Shape ", rather, not you how to create them. Is some of you able to help me? A greetingIsrael Abril fernandez
