Re: [Paparazzi-devel] some question for using paparazzi center

[address@hidden]

The "launch" button in the GCS is a newer feature and is generated by the 
aircraft configuration rather than hard-coded into the GCS so it has not been 
tied into the "launch" button of the simulator appplet.  Therefore you have to 
click "launch" in the GCS to initiate the throttle, then "launch" in the sim 
applet to simulate a person throwing the plane. :)

Editing files in linux is one of the more difficult tasks.  You must be logged 
on as an administrator in order to edit files, but the software you use to edit 
the files cannot be used by administrators.  It's a foolish catch-22 and many 
hacks exist as workarounds, my favorite is to install "Nedit":
su -
apt get install nedit
nedit /etc/sources.list

Nedit works sortof like a regular editor and has most of the same features and 
functionality of Microsoft's first version of "edit.com", released in 1981.

I tried to clarify the usb rules section of the wiki for you:
http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/index.php/Installation#Setting_access_rights_for_USB_download

You should not need a driver for the FTDI, I believe all modern linux versions 
already contain it.

Hi there

  Thanks, I think I got the simulation running now, and I am still learning for
more functions :)

Thanks
