Some additional thoughts from me:
The base package is very often used for reviews. I really like to read them,
even they are old, but this gives a nice overview what people knows about our
project and what they wish.
The most people are not aware of that we develope in our spare time, between
job, family and other hobbies.
They only see that there is a nice and free (cost free!) simulator but also
notice the bugs.
These reviews are advertisement for our project and the better those reviews
are, the more people will get interested on FGFS and join the project.
So we should be carefully what we select for the base package. We do know, that
a good looking aircraft doesn't mean that it is developed far.
The 777 is really good looking but there are a lot of glitches. The autopilot
is not working correct, the displays are buggy...
I do know, That Syd is working on that - but what will a new user think of it?
He will just see an unfinished aircraft which he don't can use like he expect.
The concorde is really nice, but too big and too complex, though it would be
nice for the base package and reviews.
But from the same author (the ghost author...:-)) there is a ncie 747-200 with
3d-panel and a pretty good (easy) working autopilot- and a very good
jsbsim-config!
Why not add this instea Ifnot, we should at least fix some bugs on the 777 if
we want to make a good impression!
Just my thoughts
Cheers
HHS
