Alternatively, advice the vendors they decide the quality of support of their cards, I'm still on software rendering. ;-) ..but first sleep, I've just caught up on a coupla months here today, and there is still JSBSim and flightmodelling, I gotta then fix my firewall, and I need to commandeer a/30 net for these wee stunts. ;-) ..do I put FG-0.9.3 or do I put FG-cvs-$date etc on the cd? What else? ..scenery: I want Oshkosh, Wi on it, as the default start, I am one of a mill. EAA members. ;-) There is a few hundred EAA'ers who enter the Convention, in some style, in formations. ;-) ..there is room for improvement: Why 100 boring 3-plane vics, when we can pack far more fun into 7 54 plane combat boxes and throw "Flak" and candy? ;-) Of course, to do this safely and confidently, some certain training tools may be required... and clustered... ;-) ..then there are the standard EAA Convention arrival procedures that should be part of it. I see a airshow training and planning tool. Any more good places? Reno, Nv? ;-) ..we have the latest 3sec scenery ready? Oh, and, Merry Xmas. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
