Some small FlightGear add-ons
-----------------------------

News
----

2009-02-01,2009-11-04:
model+cockpit-view.xml is currently out of date with FlightGear/CVS.
A better model view is now included in FlightGear/CVS.
Use cockpit-view.xml to add just the AI/MP cockpit view.

2008-09-11:
Avoid using the more-efficient-mp-protocol patch at this time - it
is prone to induce seg. faults in the MP property value interpolation
code in the receiving FlightGear instances. I'm investigating how to
repair the the property interpolation.

2008-07-15:
New patch for FlightGear/CVS: more-efficient-mp-protocol.diff
Please see the discussion at the FligthGear-devel mailing list
for more information.

2008-06-09
Two new minor patches for FlightGear/CVS:
fuel_n_paylod_jsbsim.diff - Enables the fuel and payload dialog for JSBSim. (Applied to JSBSim and FG)
telnet.diff - Make --telnet=port crash FlightGear more seldom. (Applied to FG.)

2008-02-12
Moved the dual control stuff to
http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/DualControl/

2007-11-10 - 2007-11-12
Some new neat MP toys:

- A c172p with support for dual control over MP.
See http://www.gidenstam.org/FlightGear/DualControl for more information.

- A cockpit view version of Melchior FRANZ's model-view.xml: cockpit-view.xml
allows you to peek into the cockpit of any aircraft on MP. Q/q steps
through the available MP/AI aircraft.
Usage: --config=cockpit-view.xml
There is also model2-view.xml which contains both model-view and
cockpit-view.

2007-08-06
Updated the Carrier over MP modules. Now it _almost_ works:
the carrier can be exported to MP and it becomes solid for
players that run mp_carrier.nas. However, and aircraft on the carrier
does not move with it. So you can land, but you'll fall off afterwards.

2007-08-05
A small Nasal module to allow a MP player to control the AI carrier Nimitz.
A -set file to ride with the AI Nimitz.

2007-08-04
New updated celestial tools.

2007-07-29
Added some tools for celestial navigation in FlightGear.

2007-07-07
New version of the tow trucks. Added speed limiting FCS.
Includes: towtruck-mule22 (from Nimitz), fire-truck and
Schopf_F110 (needs fgfsdb shared objects).

2007-07-06
Added a patch for data/Nasal/controls.nas to allow the standard throttle
commands to work only on the selected engine(s).
This patch has been commited to FlightGear CVS as
revision 1.23 of data/Nasal/controls.nas

2007-07-04
New better tow truck JSBSim config. Now with a reverse gear (toggle with 'R').

2007-06-19
New better tow truck JSBSim config.

What's here
-----------

accessibility
Tools for text-to-speech readout of various flight parameters
and FlightGear options. For visually impaired pilots.

Carrier_over_MP (Available in FlightGear 2.0.0 and later)
Two extensions to enable a shared carrier on the multiplayer network.
nimitz-set.xml allows a player to ride with and control the AI
Nimitz on his own computer.

WildFire (Available in FlightGear 2.0.0 and later)
Wild fire simulation for FlightGear.
An add-on crash tender vehicle not available in FlightGear.

Celestial_navigation_in_fgfs
Some tools and a very short description on how to do
celestial navigation in FlightGear. Work in progress.

MP_model_test
Example start scripts for running two FlightGear instances
connected via the MP protocol on the same computer.
E.g. useful for testing animations in aircraft models.

place_tower.xml
Ctrl+Click to place the tower view.

cockpit-view.xml (model+cockpit-view.xml and model2-view.xml are obsolete)
Adds one view that track other MP/AI aircraft.
Usage: --config=model+cockpit-view.xml
q/Q steps through the possible view targets in
"Model Cockpit view". Use MMB drag and ctrl + MMB drag in view mode to
move the viewpoint in Model cockpit view - it defaults to the origin of
the tracked 3d model (which often isn't where the cocpit of that aircraft is).

Saitek_Aviator
Saitek_Pro-Flight_Quadrant
My custom joystick configurations.

Obsolete stuff:

Saitek_X36+X35T
My custom joystick configuration. Seriously obsolete by now.

towtrucks_fgfs.tar.gz (Outdated)
Some proof of concept user driveable tow trucks using JSBSim.
Needs more work to behave realistically.
Max speed is limited by the control system.
'R' toggles forward/reverse gear. (Can be done at speed ATM.)
The Schopf_F110 uses a 3d model from the FlightGear Scenery Database (fgfsdb)
and is backwards - you'll be looking in the wrong direction at start up.. :)

s58-lifter (Outdated)
A modification to the FlightGear Sikorsky S58 adding the glider part
of YASim's air tow capability. This allows it to pick up other
players' YASim towing capable aircraft in MP.
