And from my point of view it is a misfeature to bolt the pilot's head on the fuselage, which is what it looks and feels like with the "old" static view -- on a helicopter more so than on a fixed wing. That's why this feature will remain active by default. BTW: if someone wants to test it on other aircraft, here's a first stab at a generalized version: http://members.aon.at/mfranz/flightgear/dynamic_view.nas [4.2 kB] Put it into $FG_ROOT/Nasal/ and start fgfs like so: $ fgfs --aircraft=OV10_USAFE --airport=KNUQ --prop:sim/view/dynamic=1 This needs to be enabled from the beginning, as it can't currently be turned on at runtime. (JSBSim is a bit problematic on ground due to excessive y acceleration. Which is what *I* call a misfeature. :-) > > We could use some more helicopters. What about you?!

It's OK for non-developers to lurk on a development list, it's also OK for them to criticize developers, but demanding justification from those who do the work is a bit too much. Or was too much yesterday late in the evening. > No, if you want to present flightgear in an environment where this stuff does > not make sense at all and where people expect a somehow well done and working > presentation, you don't want to additionally fiddle with that stuff. Then I take the apology back. You honestly think that's a valid reason? FlightGear should be perfectly preconfigured for retarded booth staff? And the other 1000000 users should fiddle instead? Now, this is funny. And a very innovative view, indeed. One would think that someone who presents FlightGear to the public should know about configuration options, but that's just me. > But anyway can we have a maser switch to get rid of that once for ever in > every aircraft? It's only in the bo105 and the seahawk. Yes, if there's demand for this to be available in more/all aircraft, then there will certainly be a common menu entry for all aircraft. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
