I think I might be missing something here, so please let me know if I am. Instead of taking what seems a lot like some kind of passive aggressive approach, wouldn't have been a little easier to simply propose a new interface for the environment subsystem? Also, wouldn't it be the FDM author's responsibility to integrate their FDM into FG's other components? Also, if only the three things listed needed to be altered for the existing code to be acceptable, wouldn't it have been easier to make the changes yourself? Like I said, if I'm missing something, I'd really appreciate it if someone would fill me in. Is there a mailing list or website that discusses or describes what components need to be developed or improved and how those components should fit together? I think I'm subbed to all the FG lists and I've read the docs at FlightGear.org, but these don't have what I'm looking for. To someone looking into this project from the outside, changes to the existing code and changes to accommodate "external projects" seem to be made in an almost arbitrary manner. If there is something that could help define a context in which these changes should be viewed, it might make it easier to attract contributors.
