Re: [Flightgear-devel] announcing star trek runabout shuttle and many comments and questions

Hi Melchior,

I had tried getting the ufo from cvs last month, had trouble, and didn't have 
time to dive in...

 From the ufo_20060710.zip dated 2006-Jul-11 25134 bytes:

Using arrow keys gives
Nasal runtime error: non-objects have no members
   at /usr/local/FlightGear/data/Aircraft/ufo/ufo.nas, line 717
Failed to execute command nasal

And clicking gives
Nasal runtime error: non-objects have no members
   at /usr/local/share/FlightGear/data/Aircraft/ufo/ufo.nas, line 579
if (KbdCtrl.getBoolValue()) {

I think the problem is at line 875 thru 877, these nodes have not been 
created. Need arg[1] to be true.

But after fixing that, I still can't get anything to happen (when clicking or 
keypress up and down.) except it does bring up the textbox above (0) 
Models/fgfsdb/RAFTower.xml

Browsing the internal properties, I see the new nodes are still undefined. If 
I set them to 0 or false, then things start working.
But it still ignores the modifier keys. Ctrl, Shift don't function.

Is 0.9.10 missing something here, or what else could it be?
