Dear developers, I've pushed a few bug-fixes of my recent updates, following very helpful comments and advices from Joel Lienard. Now everything should work fine, although I had to de-activate again the change of video resolution on Win32 (but window resize is working). Kind regards, Luca >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: luc...@li... >Data: 12/01/2013 0.49 >A: "crrcsim-devel"<crr...@li...> >Ogg: [Crrcsim-devel] Updates to src & models > >Dear developers, > >I've recently pushed a few updates, the most significant are: > >1) Reactivated the change of resolution under Win32 >- This is working fine on windows xp and is quite useful since it allows >redimensioning the windows size while running. > >2) In F3F mode, converted the option to "extend bases to the top" into "show >bases planes" which shows semi-transparent planes to mark the position of the >bases while flying. >- I've found this very helpful since bases are often out of sight. > >3) Updated flap & spoiler model in fdm_larcsim and updated documentation. >- Now spoiler can generate a pitching moment (still not used by any airplane >model, so far) and flaps may become progressively less effective at large >deflection (i.e. flap contribution to lift, drag and moment may be non- linear). >This is applied in the updated Wasabi model, where large flap deflections are >used as landing aids. > >4) Updated Wasabi model parameters and created the new model Pilatus B4 2.6 m, >which try to accurately mimic the properties of the model produced by Graupner- >Tangent. >- While working on the B4 model I noticed a few problems in a few other models >and spent some time checking practically all the glider models available.
