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

News
----

2010-08-21:
Added nav-training-osd.xml an on-screen display for easy access to essential
nav instrument settings. Usage: add --config=nav-training-osd.xml to your
FlightGear command line arguments.

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model+cockpit-view.xml is currently out of date with FlightGear/CVS.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.

nav-training-osd.xml
An on-screen display for easy access to essential nav instrument settings
and readings that are sometimes much harder to read efficiently and
accurately from virtual 3d instruments than in real life.
Usage: add --config=nav-training-osd.xml to your FlightGear
command line arguments.

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.
