My patch has been committed 4 days ago; if the pre-release build is older
than that, it's still buggy. See the log at
http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/source/simgear/environment/visual_enviro.cxx?cvsroot=SimGear-0.3&sortby=date

Just checked simgear-0.3.10pre2 and it has this patch, and rain is still 
upwards. I'll be able to test 0.3.10pre3 tomorrow night if that helps.

Oh. Strange. Should definitely be in the next pre or the final release then.

I looked in all  of w90n40 and can find no beacon references.  
 
The airport is  KPHN and the beacon is at the airport in the wrong location.  
Everything  else is ok.

These aircrafts are not for 0.9.9 but for 0.9.10. You can download a prev=

0.9.10 from

Hi Fred,

that would explain a few things then......just have to wait until its 
release then :)
Thank you very much for clearing that up for me ( and others as well I 
guess...)

Slainte,

Andy

No, you don't have to. If you are eager and want to contribute, download =
the
preview and give feedbacks ( address below )

Or why not pitch in and test the upcoming release?  Last time round there were 
a lot of unhappy users complaining about bugs in 0.9.9; if people help by 
testing the pre-releases, we can hopefully avoid that this time round.

There is nothing complicated involved - just download the exe from the link 
given in Fred's post and run it - the process should be entirely painless :-)

You should then complain here or on the -devel list if something doesn't work.

Cheers,

AJ

Yes, except that this doesn't *install* anything. It only allows to place
and adjust models in the scenery. This is not permanent, but you can export
or dump that information to the terminal and then manually add the respective
lines in the appropriate *.stg files. Short HOWTO:

- start fgfs with ufo  (maybe adding --prop:source=Models,Scenery/Objects
                        to the command line)
- read ?-key information
- open m-key dialog, select model
- mouse-click somewhere on the terrain (the model appears there)
- adjust model in Tab-key dialog if necessary
- repeat above as often as you like
- finally dump information to terminal (d-key) or export file (e-key)
  You get something like this:


  # w130n30/w123n37/942058.stg
  OBJECT_SHARED Models/fgfsdb/WaterWorks30m.xml -122.445475 37.641972 90.0779 0.0

  # w130n30/w123n37/942050.stg
  OBJECT_SHARED Models/fgfsdb/generic_chimney_01.ac -122.289551 37.557709 1.5851 0.0
  OBJECT_SHARED Models/fgfsdb/generic_power_plant.xml -122.257047 37.538300 0.1940 0.0

  ... whereby the # line contains the file path (relative to one of the paths
  in FG_SCENERY or the Objects/ subdir therein), the other lines are to be copied
  into this file.



> What is the proper method for changing the Beacon location at an  airport?

This can't be done with the UFO scenery editor. Existing scenery models are
managed by the tile-manager, while UFO-placed objects are managed by the
model-manager. The UFO can only add/adjust/remove objects of the latter type.
After adding the lines to the *.stg file they belong to the former group.

To edit the beacon location, you fly the UFO right to the beacon, put an
arbitrary model there, then put a beacon to the correct place and dump
the information for both to the terminal. Then you open the respective
*.stg file(s) and repace the old beacon line with the new one.

I hope this was confusing enough.  :-)

I have tried saving and loading without involving the pause. It works 
fine with CVS.
I guess the key is not to save while paused.
