First Flight
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the plane should be looking more or less straight down a
|
||||
runway, and the mouse cursor should be a regular pointer. The
|
||||
following steps will help you to get into the air:
|
||||
|
||||
- click the right mouse button once, so that a cross cursor
|
||||
appears (now, the mouse will act as a control yoke)
|
||||
|
||||
- while holding down the left mouse button, push the mouse cursor up
|
||||
until the engine is at full power (the throttle indicator is on the
|
||||
left side of the HUD), then release the left mouse button
|
||||
|
||||
- when the plane is moving fast enough (say, 100 knots for the default
|
||||
Navion), slowly pull the mouse cursor down (with no buttons pressed)
|
||||
to raise the elevators until the plane rolls off the runway and into
|
||||
the air
|
||||
|
||||
- while holding down the left mouse button, move the mouse cursor down
|
||||
slightly to ease up on the throttle, then release the left mouse
|
||||
button
|
||||
|
||||
- move the mouse up, down, and sideways as necessary to establish
|
||||
level flight -- small movements are best, or you may lose control of
|
||||
the plane
|
||||
|
||||
- click the right mouse button once more, so that a double-arrow
|
||||
cursor appears (now, the mouse will allow you to look around)
|
||||
|
||||
- move the mouse around to look out of the plane at different angles
|
||||
|
||||
- press the left mouse button once to return the view to front and
|
||||
centre
|
||||
|
||||
- click the right mouse button *twice*, so that the cross cursor
|
||||
appears again (you're in yoke mode)
|
||||
|
||||
- now that you know how to operate the throttle, ailerons, and
|
||||
elevators (as well as how to look around), try to circle around and
|
||||
land back on the runway (best of luck)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Mouse controls
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to manipulate the basic flight controls and the view
|
||||
using only the mouse. Clicking the right mouse button toggles the
|
||||
mouse among three different modes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pointer mode (the default: mouse cursor is a pointer)
|
||||
2. Yoke mode (mouse cursor is a cross)
|
||||
3. Look-around mode (mouse pointer is a double arrow)
|
||||
|
||||
In yoke mode and look-around mode, the mouse cursor will remain
|
||||
trapped in the Flight Gear window.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Yoke mode
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
In yoke mode (mouse cursor as cross), mouse movement adjusts the main
|
||||
flight controls, depending on which buttons you press.
|
||||
|
||||
With no button pressed:
|
||||
(like a control yoke on an airplane)
|
||||
- horizontal movement controls the ailerons
|
||||
- vertical movement controls the elevators
|
||||
|
||||
With left button pressed:
|
||||
- horizontal movement controls the brakes
|
||||
- vertical movement controls the throttle
|
||||
|
||||
With middle button pressed:
|
||||
- horizontal movement controls the rudder
|
||||
- vertical movement controls the trim
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Look-around mode
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
In look-around mode (mouse cursor as double arrow), mouse movement
|
||||
changes the viewing direction: horizontal movement scrolls the view
|
||||
horizontally, and vertical movement scrolls the view vertically in the
|
||||
direction of mouse movement.
|
||||
|
||||
To return the view to front and center, click the left mouse button
|
||||
once.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Keyboard controls
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Flying is mainly done via the numeric keypad. There is some
|
||||
It is also possible to fly using the numeric keypad. There is some
|
||||
unresolved wierdness with the GLUT libraries and keyboard input, so
|
||||
for now, the state of the "Num Lock" key is important.
