[Flightgear-devel] MSVC observations

[Christian M. <ma...@Ch...>]

Hi,

running my freshly built (current FGFS CVS + JSBSim CVS) FGFS I'm
observing the following:

It nearly compiles out of the box - great!!

At start up I get lots of lines like:

>No type supplied for layer face assuming "texture"
>No type supplied for layer clock background assuming "texture"
>No type supplied for layer gauge background assuming "texture"
>[...]

The next error messages are (please note the "sgMat4ToCoord: ERROR - Bad
Matrix"):

>slSample: loadWavFile: Cannot open 'Z:\FGFS\FlightGear/Sounds/
>Panel visible = 1
>Loading tile Z:\FGFS\FlightGear/Scenery/w130n30/w123n37/942041
>no terrain intersection
>Updating light parameters.

Then I don't get any more error messages and I'm sitting in the cockpit.
There the sky is grey-bue (as already known).
Hitting 'v' to get to the outside I see that there are 'lines' in the
top that aren't blue-whyite clouds (as expected), but grey-white.
Coincidence?

Hitting Shift-2 doesn't do anything (e.g. put me behind the plane as I'd
expect)

Can someone please tell me which of these errors are normal and which
aren't?

CU,
Christian

PS: What do I have to do if I want to telnet into my local FGFS?
