Remove -lssg from the linker lines.
Do no longer build threedconvert. A very similar functionality
is available with osgvconv. But leave threedconvert in place
if somebody will need that ...
You'll find attached the modified fgadmin that takes care of
'Objects' and 'Terrain' if they exist. I also implemented the
'Check all' / 'Check none' feature you suggested several months
ago.
passing it along to FlightGear.) I notice that the serial port read only
seems to work correctly if I read one character at a time. Multicharacter
reads seem very unreliable.
Yesterday night it occurred to me that the current handling of missing METAR
strings isn't good enough:
- in case of missing METAR strings, don't re-send the last successful string,
but the last successful string sent to *this* client. (If one client is
running in virtual December, it won't be happy about dropped in summer
weather.)
- fix a bug that allowed -vc notation (options -v and -c), but broke a lot of
other notations (-b/var/tmp). Only -v can now be accumulated again, as
in -vvvv.
Here's a Perl implementation of a METAR proxy server. Tested on Linux only, but
should work on all Unices, and possibly on Windows, too. Its purpose is to:
- provide METAR data for machines without internet connection
- centralize METAR fetching: one machine in a network runs the proxy, all
other connect to the proxy
- deliver defined and reproducible weather for educational purposes
- save weather situations for later use in fgfs
Quick instructions to download the world weather for the last 3 hours
and run proxy and fgfs with it (~ 2MB download; for less bandwidth
consumption see the --record mode):
$ metarproxy --download 3h
$ metarproxy -v -c &
$ fgfs --proxy=localhost:5509 --time-offset=-2 --enable-real-weather-fetch
