Hi,

I have an airplane in the world which is moved/rotated along its axes. In one point I need to know its "world"  position. Angles beween the airplane axis (planes/surfaces) and the world represented by the terrain. Or better say - the absolute angles in the world. The question is related with the airplane flying model. My model is very simple - just rotates airplane around x (bank) and y (climb/desc.). The behaviour of the real airplane is the same so the azimut or direction is changed accordingly. But I would like to know the easiest way how to find the absolute angles (to be able to detect - should I land or crash :-)
(I'm talking about jpct-AE)
Thanx.

...still really looking forward....   

Paul, very nice. What about the Android version? I'm just looking for something like this to my AE project.

Thank you very much.

I'm playing with jPCT-AE instead of playing real games :-)  I'm getting familiar with jPCT-AE by creating a simple fly simulator. I have created a terrain, I'm able to load a biplane, animate it and control the plane by sensors or by touch screen. I'm able to add buttons and other controlling features to the scene by blitting images.
And I would like to add a cockpit panel to the screen. I have a camera, its position and direction and I need an object (e.g. textured sphere) which will be added to the one fixed position. I can move arround my world, follow my plane but the object - actually the artifical horint (AF) should be fxed in one point in my view. I am faling to do that. My AF is always moving with my plane across the screen. I also wanted to test to create a new frame bufffer  with world with cockpit and render  it to texture - then blit it - but to have two different fb failed also. I feel that the solution can be simple and obvious. Any suggestions?
