===Water shader improvements=== | ===Water shader improvements=== | ||
Our all-time favourite shader-artist, Gral, picked up yet another project. This time it is something that covers over 70% of the entire scenery and is thus of great importance in a flight simulator: water. The new shader includes more realistic wave movements and much nicer sun "reflections". The extreme goal is to have real-time reflective water, which is still a long way to go, but with Gral's latest improvements we've at least made a step into the right direction. Transatlantic or Carribean flights have never been so exiting in FlightGear! | Our all-time favourite shader-artist, Gral, picked up yet another project.

=== FlightGear, JSBSim, and SciCos/SciLab === | |||
James Goppert (an Aero Engineering graduate student at Purdue) has been doing some fascinating work using JSBSim integrated with SciCos, along with having added some new trimming algorithms and code to JSBSim. The Purdue Flight Dynamics and Control / Hybrid Systems Lab web page features an interesting demo video: http://www.purduehsl.dynalias.com/index ... d-vehicles. You can also see the video directly on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/jgoppert?fe ... B0nQbcyo-o. | |||
And here’s another video from James, “ArduPilotMega Hardware in the Loop with SciCos/SciLab." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHN-Vb9l0v8 | |||
