@c_schroeder Thanks for the response. This is on the windows platform. I got the library from SourceForge and built it myself as a static library. I used the latest version. I want my IG to be passive only at the moment as we are testing a new software. We will eventually go towards the synchronous mode but now, we just want to see something on the screen. I edited the pointer line myself just to test it out. I was wrong about the start of frame packet, the host was only sending the packet for IG...

Hi, and welcome to CIGI. A little more background information would be helpful. I'm guessing from the m_Net.openSocket() method this is on the Windows platform, correct? Did you build the ccl_lib from source, did your co-worker build it from source, or did you get a pre-built DLL from somewhere? I've not built the ccl 4.0 lib yet, but version 3.3 is only dependent upon the MS CRT lib. If you are seeing a lot of dependent libs, I suspect those would be coming from your network module that you use...

Hey guys, this is my first time working with CIGI. There is usually another person in my organization responsible for this but now he is working on something else and the problem has come to me. Using the C++ static library, I built a CIGI object that will just send location of a single object (ownship) to my IG. I have built everything but am facing an issue with the Outgoing message. The outgoing message only contains the Start of Frame Packet. I tried building the example miniHost first but it...

Actually, entity ID 0 is classically associated with the Ownship entity, which may or may not have a 3D model attached to the entity - it depends on your use case, but it is not a requirement. You are free to allocate entity IDs as you see fit for your application. Just in case alpha is an issue, I would try setting alpha to 255 for debugging. I confess it has been a while since I last used MPV and I don't have a current setup to look at right now. Which platform are you using for MPV: Windows or...

Hi Daniel, Sorry, I meant which revision. I don't have VS 2022, but I have VS 2010, 2013, 2015 and 2017. I think I can reproduce your linker error with 2015 and 2017. To resolve the issue Open the Solution Explorer, Right Click on HEmuDrv, Select Properties. Select "Linker|Input|Additional Dependencies", remove libcmt.lib. Then Select "Linker|Input|Ignore All Default Libraries", clear/delete this option. Chas

I am having an issue running the Host Emulator for CIGI 4.0. The real-time driver will not load and the project HemuDrv currently has 87 errors upon compilation without modification with the common error codes being LNK 2019 and LNK 2001. This issue prevents me from properly testing the HEMU4 with the MPV. Note: SDK for the latest DirectX is installed and the Multibyte libraries for MFC are installed on VS 2022. Open Scene Graph has also been installed properly for the MPV Please Advise

I managed to get the terrain to render after configuring the .def files for the terrain, however whenever I try to spawn in entities such as 118(f18c) I've got nothing, the view is properly attached to the entity and I don't use entity id 0 as I understand that is meant more as a floating camera. I have attempted to change the cameras offset so that the viewmodel might be visible with no success. I've also spawned separate entities in hopes that I would be able to see the separate entities.

There appear to be two issues here: the TIFF plug-in is not being found and the terrain data is not being found. Which operating system are you running this on? The sample St. Louis terrain data must be downloaded and installed separately. Have you done this? If so, the terrain config file will need to be updated to point to it.

I am very new to using the MPV with HEMU3.3. I've gotten the MPV to connect to HEMU, however there seems to be an issue when it comes to rendering anything other than a black and white screen. According to CMD it appears to be having an issue loading the database for St.Louise. please advise as the MPV wiki is currently down.

My apologies for my tardy reply. In order to use scripting for these controls, you will need to define your entity type(s) and respective component parts in the HEMU3 entities.def configuration file. The HEMU3 script engine does type checking for these items, but the raw packet dialog does not. Best regards, Curt

Hi, I would like to send short component control packet to control the propeller of the aircraft and send short articulated part control packet to control the landing gear of the aircraft, and all these peckets can be send successful through the send packet function with specified part ID/ component ID and values.

Hi, can elaborate a bit more on what you are looking for and which operating system you want to target? The stand-alone demo environment is to download the CIGI Host Emulator 3 and the CIGI Multi-Purpose Viewer (and associated MPV Content). The host emulator only runs on Windows. If you are looking to implement either your own host or image generator, there are two open source CIGI libraries to choose from to manage the sending & receiving of CIGI messages over a transport protocol.

Is your view frustum attached to the entity you created with a valid EntityType or to a second entity that is nearby? If it is the former, did you add an adequate view offset to ensure the view frustum is outside the geometry of the model selected by the EntityType? If the view frustum is inside the model geometry and the model does not have backface polygon rendereing enabled (they typically do not), then you will see little or no geometry rendered. If it is the latter, have you confirmed the two...

A beta version of the CCL that include v4.0 support exists, but has not been uploaded yet to SourceForge. There is also a second, clean-sheet development, libcigi, that supports v4.0.
-
Sounds like there are two things happening here. First, if you request an EntityType in an EntityControl packet that is not configured in MPV, it displays a default red object model to alert you to the error. Second, your view is being attached to the entity you create without enough offset from the entity position, so the view is very close to or inside the entity model. Hope this helps, Curt

Hello Friends, I just started to use CIGI HEv3 and MPV(v2.2.0) Viewer, but I am facing a problem. When I add a new entity in the host simulator, the MPV screen goes completly red in color and it is difficult to see the terrain. Can someone help me out with the solution?

The last version of CCL to have CigiEventList.h was 1.7.5. That version is fairly old. However, you may want to download that version (cigi_ccl_src_ver_1_7_5.zip or ccl_1.7.5.tar.gz) and try it.
-
As it happens, I recently built the 'ccl_3_3_3a.tar.gz' on Linux. I can confirm there is not a 'include/cigicl/CigiEventList.h' file in the installation. Is it possible 'CigiEventList.h' is part of the application code base and your build environment is not finding it?

First, my apologies for not looking at this sooner. There appears to be a minor GUI bug in HEMU 3.3.3. If you select your "Front" view in the Views tab, then select another view, and then re-select your "Front" view you should then see the view component listed in the Components box.

I've encountered a one character bug in the CCL 3.3.3a 'configure' script that causes the script to hang when executed on a Linux PC with a RHEL 2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64 kernel.

Hi Alexander, Looking at the excerpt you posted, it looks syntactically correct to me. Are you using HEMU 3.3.3 or an earlier version? The sample 'Views.def' file included with HEMU 3.3.3 includes a component for View 0: Front and is shown in the Components tab when selected in the Views tree list. Can you upload the complete 'Views.def' file you are using?

Can you explain in more detail why you believe CIGI 4.0 prevents on-the-fly entity creation? The only significant difference between CIGI 3.x vs. 4.0 regarding entity creation was the split of the Entity Control packet into a smaller Entity Control packet for entity creation and infrequent control parameters and the new Entity Position packet for the frame-by-frame entity position updates. CIGI 4.0 also adds entity Animation Control, Velocity Control, & Acceleration Control packets. If you want to...

Hello, After reading the CIGI 4.0 standard, it seems like we are unable to create new entities on the fly and that the entities and their IDs must be known ahead of time. This is kind of insane to me, as it's a common case that a user would want to add X amount of an entity at runtime. For example, we have customers who will place X amount of vehicles on a map. Do we really need to guess (and thus limit) the number of ModelA's the user might place and do something like this? ModelA is ID 1 ModelA...

Hello, I think the Weather Control - Wind Direction Convention is inconsistent between the CIGI class library & the CIGI ICD. The class library seems to be enforcing a +/- 180 deg convention, while the ICD specifies the convention as 0-360. Which do you consider correct? Thanks, -Eric

Thanks Bill! We do indeed want to be CIGI compliant, as we had hoped our application could be used on any CIGI Compliant IG.

Hi John, The simple answer is yes, you need to pre-pend an IG Control packet, but only if you desire to be CIGI compliant.

Hello, We are attempting to send HAT/HOT requests to a CIGI compliant IG from a secondary application (i.e. NOT a simulation host). At the risk of asking a silly question, does CIGI allow this to happen? From what we understand, it seems that we have to include an IG control packet as the first packet in a CIGI message sent to an IG. However our aplication is independent of a simulation host, so it can't generate a valid IG control packet. Sending a CIGI message to the IG without an IG Control packet...
