Hi All, You may remember I wrote a cross-country flight tutorial a couple of weeks back. Many thanks for all the corrections - they made a huge difference.
I have now integrated this into a patch for the Getting Started Guide. The changes are as follows. - Create a section III - Tutorials - Split the existing tutorial information into FlightGear and non-FlightGear. - Add a link to Eric's tutorial - Add the cross-country tutorial as a new chapter - Update the title page with datestamp code, reference to updates for 0.9.8 (should this be 0.9.9?), and my name as a contributor (OK, this is a bit forthright, but I have added a new chapter :) ) A PDF version is available here: http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/getstart/getstart.pdf A tarball of the changed files (for docs/getstart/source) is available here: http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/getstart/getstart.tar.gz There was an issue about sectional figures. The sectionals included in the tarball were taken from aviationtoolbox.org. I've had a look on the NACO website, and sectionals are not copyrighted, so I think it is OK to include them. However, if someone with more GNUowledge than me thinks this is too risky, let me know and I'll remove them completely (it'll also save including the 15MB .EPS file!) On a more general note, I'd like to help out more with documentation but don't want to duplicate any work other people are doing, or step on other peoples toes. George - you mentioned you're working on some updates to this guide - we should touch base to see if I can help out. Comments and suggestions are of course welcome.
