This sounds good to me, I would really appreciate a car FDM. Especially, if it can interact with the aircraft (towing or pushback, or even load cars into aircraft). Your project would benefit from the worldwide scenery (e.g for the Rallye Paris Dakar) and multiplayer capability. > > On 12/1/07, Detlef Faber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Am Samstag, den 01.12.2007, 18:39 +0100 schrieb STenyaK (Bruno > > Gonzalez): > > > I'm unable to find the Jeep or any other car that were mentioned.. > > > haven't searched much though. > > > > > Try this: > > > > http://sol2500.net/flightgear/jeep.zip > > > > It should work with 0.9.10, but you will not have different ground > > properties like the FlightGear CVS version has. > > > > > Quick question: by "ground reactions" you mean collision detection and > > > response?
