Hello everyone, I'm Jon.

==FlightGear Info==

Callsign: jon377

Planes: Cessna 172, Cessna Citation X, Boeing 777, Boeing 737, SR-71 Blackbird

Airports: KSFO, PHNL, PHOG, PHLI, PHTO

Scenery: Hawaiian islands, San Francisco Area

==Current Work and Hopes for FlightGear==

I am working on various projects to submit to FlightGear, including designing and upgrading liveries for various planes.

I'd love to see the newest single-engine Cessnas available - the new 162, 172, and 182. Plus some more Boeings and Airbuses. I'd be willing to work on this.

I would love to see the Hawaiian islands developed with scenery and fixed. I'm willing to work on this too.

==Past Contributions==

None yet, but I'm working. There will be a list shortly!

==Current Work==

I am working on various projects to submit to FlightGear, including designing liveries for various planes, and creating the Boeing 767.

=Boeing 767 Project=

I have just started a project to develop the Boeing 767 into FlightGear.
Project goals:

*develop the Boeing 767 -200ER, -300ER, -400ER, and -300F (freighter)
*develop a 3D cockpit for the planes, with clickable panels
*add thrust reversers and lights
*include liveries that use the 767 in real life

If you'd like to help, please let me know!

Jon377: /* Install Atlas */

''"Atlas aims to produce and display high quality charts of the world for users of FlightGear, an open source flight simulator. This is achieved through two main parts: The map creator (simply called Map) and the Atlas viewer."'' - [http://atlas.sourceforge.net Atlas website]

==Atlas Help==
Firstly I would greatly thank TheBackMan who posted this on the Flightgear Forums. This is a slightly modified version. To see the original post click [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3561 this link].

===Install Atlas===
This should not be a problem but I messed up my FlightGear when I installed the default way so lets stay on the safe side...

# Download Atlas Package from here the [http://atlas.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=download Atlas download page].
# Start the installation, but let the directory be something other than the FlightGear directory. Let us say <tt>C:\Atlas</tt>.
# After installation open <tt>C:\Atlas</tt> (or whatever directory you selected during installation).
# In the <tt>bin/win32</tt> folder select everything except <tt>glut32.dll</tt>. And copy the selection to your <tt>flightgear/bin/win32</tt> directory.
# Next copy the data files seperately. Don't copy the folders, copy each file and place it in the respective sub-directory.

'''Note:''' If you find this method hard you can go ahead with the default installation.

===Creating the Maps===

Start the Command Prompt...to do this click start>Run ...type cmd and hit enter.
Type...
cd C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32
Replace C: with the drive in which FlightGear is installed. This is the default directory. If you changed it during the time of installation then enter your directory (if you don't know your directory then right click your flightgear icon, click properties then copy the target line. Remove the quotes and fgrun.exe).
Now Type...
set FG_ROOT=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data
Replace the directory if necessary.
Now type...
set FG_SCENERY=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\Data\Scenery;C:\Program Files\FlightGear\Scenery
Replace the directory if necessary. You separate scenery locations with a ";".
Now type
map --headless --size=256 --atlas=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Atlas
This puts the files in <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Atlas</tt>. If you want the files in a different location just replace <tt>C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Atlas</tt> with the location you want.

The option --headless makes the whole process go much much faster!

The --size=256 gives a certain resolution in Atlas, meaning that each map generated will be 256x256 pixels. For higher resolutions you would use =512 or =1024 or for lower resolutions you would use =64 or =128.

Therefore, to create low resolution maps type...
map --headless --size=64 --atlas=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\data\Atlas\lowres

'''Note:''' Some PC's get errors when they write program files. If you are getting it write Progra~1 instead of Program Files.

There are a lot of commands that can be used in Map. To see them type...
map --help

===Run Atlas===
We need to change the Atlas icon on your desktop slightly. Right click the icon and select properties. In the target box completely delete the text and replace with
"C:\Program Files\FlightGear\bin\win32\atlas.exe" "--fg-root=C:\Program Files\FlightGear\Data" --path=F:\FlightGear\Atlas --udp=5500

This should be all 1 line in the target box.

In the [[FlightGear Wizard]] that you get after double clicking the FlightGear icon, on the page after selecting your airport there is a check box option for Atlas, tick it. Enter your IP address usually 192.168.1.100 (To find your ip address, run command prompt. Type ipconfig and u will get your ip address from the information you get. In the ports boxes enter 5500. Click Run.

Hello everyone, I'm Jon.

Here's some of my FlightGear info.
Callsign: jon377
Airports: KSFO, PHNL, PHOG, PHLI, PHTO
Aircraft: Boeing 737-300, Boeing 777-200

Those above are the airports/aircraft I use most frequently, but I do use many different aircraft in many different places.

At some point, I would like FlightGear to release aircraft packages instead of single planes. For example, I would like to see some Airbus planes packaged in one group (A318, A319, A320, A321 - all in the Airbus A320 Family).

I would also like to see more liveries, real and virtual, available for use in FlightGear. I am developing some liveries, such as US Airways (the old and new liveries).

If you'd like to help develop any liveries or aircraft, let me know, and I'd gladly help with what I can (finding data is usually my strong point).

I am currently designing the Boeing 767 set. If you'd like to help, please let me know! It would be greatly appreciated!
