FlightGear 2018.1.1 Release Candidate: Please test!

Postby Isaak » Fri Feb 23, 2018 9:16 am

Hi all,

Torsten managed to build the first release candidates for the upcoming FlightGear 2018.1.1 release:

Hi,

after some really annoying issues following SourceForge move to a new datacenter, I finally managed to bake the release candidates for OSX and Windows.
They are available at our usual place: https://sourceforge.net/projects/flight ... candidate/

If you don't mind a 1.6GB download, please give it a try and report if it at lest
- Download and install cleanly (fresh install and update)
- Spawns a C172 at PHNL
- There is nice looking Hawaii scenery around you

Regards
Torsten

Please, feel free to test these release candidates and report any issues on the Developers Mailing List. We did already find some issues and SourceForge (our host) is having difficult times, so it might take some time to get the stable release out. This means testing the candidates is crucial to rule out possible bugs.

IIRC, they share the same runway and some land area... in Google Maps and Google Earth, there is no longer a separate airport indicator for PHIK...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Sounds like it'll change as soon as the RC becomes a R - just don't install and test with the aircraft you already have.

Since I've reported what might be a pretty serious bug in the launcher, it depends on how quickly this can be dealt with some way or the other. Currently the process is on hold pending an investigation into this.

@wkitty42: Yes, but the layout in actual FG for the PHIK is inexistent, so you may see some buildings and objects on grass or outside PHNL boundaries. Despite nice work from xDraconian but unshipped we havent seen any improvement on that old layout for years. anyway the whole island looks increible nice and at least that release candidate works well on my system.

@Thorsten with regards to what was put on the blog, if the airports were regenerated, what happened to the default airport itself... PHNL? ;)

Unfortunately, at least right now, I don't think the new layout made it into the scenery that ships with FlightGear... unless I made some error with my priority settings on the scenery.

I learned myself a day ago to my surprise that Torsten did in fact not include the re-generated Oahu scenery on terrasync or into the RC - I was under the assumption from previous exchanges that xDraconian's project gets in for the release.

One graphical bug I encounterd is this one: in the 777, on the PFD and the EICAS (not on the ND), text previously colored green or magenta is now colored white (e.g. speed, altitude, radio altitude, QNH...) I didn't modify anything in the aircraft files while transitioning to 2018.1.1. Does anyone have any idea where I should look to find the cause? Switching between ALS and default renderer doesn't seem to solve anything.

Thanks a lot!
