Talk:Rendering system improvements

== Suggestions ==
If we rendered it to just render where the camera is pointing, couldn't we get faster frame rates, because it seems like useless rendering to render absolutely everything (even if you're not looking at it).

I'm not absolutely sure how to go about this one, but (I'm sorry for being such an X-Plane fan) couldn't we do sort of like what X-Plane does? So you'd only have to render high quality graphics a close distance to the plane, and further out, the pixels could be a little blurry, but since no one's able to clearly see it that far away, you might as well make it a little bit more blurry. I think that a lot of what Austin (lead developer of X-Plane) says on his "What's New" page is very useful information, and maybe we should take some advice from it.

FlightGear Newsletter January 2011

''We would like to emphasize that the monthly newsletter can not live without the contributions of FlightGear users and developers. Everyone with a wiki account (free to register) can edit the newsletter and every contribution is welcome. So if you know about any FlightGear related projects such as for example updated scenery or aircraft, please do feel invited to add such news to the newsletter.''

== FlightGear events ==
== Call for volunteers ==
The [[OpenRadar]] project is looking for a new maintainer.

The [[TerraGear GUI]] project is looking for programmers to help create a GUI frontend for [[TerraGear]] [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7485#p102005].

The [[FGFSPM]] (FlightGear Package Manager) is looking for a new maintainer.

== Development news ==
===Important FGRun memory fix===
[[FGRun]] used to keep all loaded aircraft (in one session) in cache for quick re-view on the aircraft selection page. There were cases reported in which the memory usage reached 1GB; slowing down the entire computer tremendously! Since FGRun must stay open during your FlightGear flights, it decreased in-sim framerates. With the fix, FGRun only uses necessary resources.

===Experimental: texture mapped line data===
I've created a local experimental branch for allowing Terragear to texture map roads, streams, and coastlines. It is in the very early stages, but is starting to show promise. While the Terragear team's priorities are to optimize and import highly detailed land-class imagery, I thought it would be a good idea to enhance existing polygons as well.

I'm keeping status updates here: [[TerraGear texmapped line data]]

=== Generic Boeing CDU ===
[[Image:747-400_CDU.png|thumb|The Boeing-style CDU as seen on a [[Boeing 747-400]].]]
[[User:Gijs|Gijs]] commited a generic - [[Boeing]] style - [[Control Display Unit]] (CDU) to [[Git]]. The CDU comes with two textures: a brown one (as seen on the [[Boeing 747-400|747]]) or a grey one ([[737]]). Currently just a small amount of pages is completely resembled, but updates are planned for the near future.

A wiki article has been set up to explain aircraft developers [[Howto: Implement a Control Display Unit| how to implement the CDU]] in their aircraft.

== Scenery corner ==
We have almost reached '''2000''' unique models in the scenery database! Help us get to 3000 even faster... [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org Please contribute a scenery model today].

===Scenery Models===
The highest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa, former known as the Burj Dubai, has been added in the database, as well as the Akashi Kaikyo bridge, whick links Kobe to the Awaji Island in Japan. The city of Lyon in France has also seen the addition of landmarks.

====New York City====
A collaborative effort has been launched to model as many skyscrapers and landmarks of New York City as possible. FlightGear contributors have already "demolished" some generic skyscrapers in Manhattan, replacing them with models of such buildings as the Empire State Building and the MetLife Building (formerly the PanAm building). With new land cover either pending or already on the mapserver, New York City is on its way to becoming a premier destination for open source flyers.

If you are interested in contributing to the New York City scenery project, [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10531 please visit the forum].

====Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (KCHO)====
[[File:KCHOdevJan.png|200px|thumb|left|KCHO under development]]I admit that I've taken a couple of weeks off, but I have made some significan progress since December. I have made the rain canopy (or whatever it's called) almost completely accurate, I've made the building more realistic (height-wise), and I've added the cylinder part of the airport. My goals to get to by February are completing the doors, add-in the second waiting room (external of course), and add the windows to the cylinder.

One of the regular thoughts expressed on the FlightGear forums is "I'd like to contribute but I don't know how to program, and I don't have the time". Unfortunately, there is a common mis-conception that contributing requires programming and lots of free time. In fact, there are a huge range of ways to contribute to the project without needing to write code or spending days working on something.

=== Reminder: Google's Summer of Code 2011 ===
We would like to remind all readers that the FlightGear project is planning to participate in [[GSoC]] 2011. However, doing that really requires a fair amount of work, planning and organizing. This is not something that can be done by a single person. It really needs a coordinated team effort, or otherwise FlightGear won't be able to apply/participate at all.

So all users are invited to help us progress further with our preparations for GSoC 2011. If you have any questions or other feedback, please use the forum to [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=38 get in touch].

Airports under construction

2010-12-15T11:47:23Z

Catchatyou:

== Preface ==

=== Found a beacon in the middle of the runway in [http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/?ll=48.34849178268444,-107.88724422454834&z=16&t=s&fg_server=mpserver02:5000,mpserver02.flightgear.org,5001&update_interval=5&pilot_label=always&icon_mode=normal LMML] or some other faults? ===
First you have to know that 90 % of the airports have "bad layouts" at the moment and at some places even maps are not updated (have a [http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/?ll=48.34849178268444,-107.88724422454834&z=16&t=s&fg_server=mpserver02:5000,mpserver02.flightgear.org,5001&update_interval=5&pilot_label=always&icon_mode=normal look here] i.e.). Most of the airports need updates. This is a lot of work when you think about the 20’000 airports in the database. When you read the tutorials how to build airports you can do it yourself and submit your work. Or someone of the contributors here will once start to work on your "wish" - but please be patient and do not send any messages/mails to contributors. You can go to the forum ([http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=5 Scenery Enhancement]) to discuss some issues.

== Airports under construction ==
In this article you find a list of all airports which currently are under construction. You can also see if an airport is "finished" and if the data is already submited to the current database of the mapserver (apt.dat).

=== Avaiability of new/changed airports needs some time ===
In FlightGear there is a common workflow to edit airports. First expierenced contributors have to change the airport data with "taxidraw". Then they submit the new data to the mapserver (main scenery data files/airport data file apt.dat). Meantime other contributors can also submit some scenery to the custom scenery database (for downloading via TerraSync). But for runways, taxiways, beacons, frequencies the apt.dat-File needs an update anyway and maybe also the base scenery around the airport needs an update. Please be patient with updates. It needs more time than you expected.

== Submit your work plans and schedule your activities ==
Please feel free to edit this page and submit your "pending airport" directly.

=== Current Activities ===

== Submit your wishes ==
If you wish to add an airport or think this or another airport needs a change '''[http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6749 you have to post in the forum (scenery enhancement)]'''. But first search the forum with the ICAO code of the airport and be sure that you have read all the posts about this airport. And please submit also some links to images and information you have about/from this airport.

Airports under construction

2010-12-15T11:39:21Z

Catchatyou: /* Current Activities */

{{mergefrom|Airports Currently in Development}}

== Preface ==

=== Found a beacon in the middle of the runway in [http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/?ll=48.34849178268444,-107.88724422454834&z=16&t=s&fg_server=mpserver02:5000,mpserver02.flightgear.org,5001&update_interval=5&pilot_label=always&icon_mode=normal LMML] or some other faults? ===
First you have to know that 90 % of the airports have "bad layouts" at the moment and at some places even maps are not updated (have a [http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/?ll=48.34849178268444,-107.88724422454834&z=16&t=s&fg_server=mpserver02:5000,mpserver02.flightgear.org,5001&update_interval=5&pilot_label=always&icon_mode=normal look here] i.e.). Most of the airports need updates. This is a lot of work when you think about the 20’000 airports in the database. When you read the tutorials how to build airports you can do it yourself and submit your work. Or someone of the contributors here will once start to work on your "wish" - but please be patient and do not send any messages/mails to contributors. You can go to the forum ([http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=5 Scenery Enhancement]) to discuss some issues.

== Airports under construction ==
In this article you find a list of all airports which currently are under construction. You can also see if an airport is "finished" and if the data is already submited to the current database of the mapserver (apt.dat).

=== Avaiability of new/changed airports needs some time ===
In FlightGear there is a common workflow to edit airports. First expierenced contributors have to change the airport data with "taxidraw". Then they submit the new data to the mapserver (main scenery data files/airport data file apt.dat). Meantime other contributors can also submit some scenery to the custom scenery database (for downloading via TerraSync). But for runways, taxiways, beacons, frequencies the apt.dat-File needs an update anyway and maybe also the base scenery around the airport needs an update. Please be patient with updates. It needs more time than you expected.

== Submit your work plans and schedule your activities ==
Please feel free to edit this page and submit your "pending airport" directly.

=== Current Activities ===

[[File:Cobra.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Cobra in action.]]The Developers at [http://alphashangar.co.nr/ Alpha-J's Hangar] have started making the Bell AH-1 Cobra. Development is going well and can be tracked [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10130 here.] The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a two-bladed, single engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It shares a common engine, transmission and rotor system with the older UH-1 Iroquois. The AH-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Snake.

== Scenery corner ==

Detailed scenery is under development for the E20N40 area, with the following countries partly or fully covered:
* Albania
* Bulgaria
* Hungary
* Kosovo
* FYR Macedonia
* Poland
* Romania
* Serbia
* Slovakia
* Turkey

The scenery is using Corine land classification data, road and railroad data from OpenStreetMap and SRTM v4 elevation data from CGIAR.

=== Airports ===
====Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (KCHO)====
[[File:DevelopmenofKCHOPart1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|KCHO under development]]I (Catchatyou) am currently working on making a new airport for FlightGear! It is Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (KCHO). I must say that I am new to Blender and FlightGear, but I am excited to be a part of it. I hope that my creation will eventually sprout into a beautiful product as time goes by. I have no set date on when this should be completed, but I hope that I can make it as soon as possible.

[[File:eddm tower.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Development version of EDDM tower]]I am not just making the airport building. I'm hoping to eventually add in the parking lot and other various objects.

Thank you for making contributing so easy.

====Franz Josef Strauss Airport Munich (EDDM)====
[[:User:D-79|D-79]] started modelling EDDM in October and is dedicated to make this the most detailed airport in Germany. So far, both terminals have been modelled, as well as most of the additional buildings on the aprons. One of the most difficult tasks proved to be setting up ground vehicles. But now they're running as an AI scenario of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GhGbV7n0Uk eight busses and trucks]. The ground network is also near completion. The AI scenario and the ground network will probably be uploaded to GIT soon, and a first version of all buildings has been sent to Martin of the [[FlightGear Scenery Database]].

===Video tutorials===
Over the past year, more and more [[Video Tutorials]] have been produced for FlightGear, so that it seemed sensible to set up a special wiki site for them, sorted by categories. Feel free to 1) make more video tutorials and 2) add them to the list. When making a video tutorial, please try to keep a certain standard: Video tutorials should have a good video resolution so that users can see what's happening on the screen, and they should have text or voice comment so that users understand what's being done.

[[File:Asi.png|thumb|120px|Airspeed indicator]]

===Instrument glass reflection tutorial===
Horacio has written an excellent short tutorial to show how to add glass reflection effect to instruments, using graphic tools, so that the reflection effect is already contained in the main instrument image, and not depending on shaders meaning less CPU load. The result is widely satisfactory and very realistic.

[[Howto: Glass reflection effect for instruments]]

===Helipad category===
We have a new wiki [[:Category:Helipads|category for helipads]], as a sub-category of the [[:Category:Airports|airports category]]. So far, only the [[oil platforms]] can be found there, but others could be added, like hospital helipads or ANWB/ADAC/ÖAMTC heliports.

=== Contributing ===
One of the regular thoughts expressed on the FlightGear forums is "I'd like to contribute but I don't know how to program, and I don't have the time". Unfortunately, there is a common mis-conception that contributing requires programming and lots of free time. In fact, there are a huge range of ways to contribute to the project without needing to write code or spending days working on something.

=== Reminder: Google's Summer of Code 2011 ===
We would like to remind all readers that the FlightGear project is planning to participate in [[GSoC]] 2011. However, doing that really requires a fair amount of work, planning and organizing. This is not something that can be done by a single person. It really needs a coordinated team effort, or otherwise FlightGear won't be able to apply/participate at all.

So all users are invited to help us progress further with our preparations for GSoC 2011. If you have any questions or other feedback, please use the forum to [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=38 get in touch].

Catchatyou: I believe that this airport will turn into a great product, and I hope it will be available soon (probably in a couple of months)!
