When I went peering around to disable this, I first went into the xml sound file and another ($fgfsbase/Instruments/markerbeacon.xml), but I did not find anything (e.g. beacon=false). A look at the code suggested to me that it was in fact hard coded as you note above. But I was not so sure of this (not so sure of my grep guesses and (...gulp...) very limited knowledge of c/c++). I think the logical place for something like this is in one of the existing xml files. It seems to me like *all* properties should be set-able via xml. Rhetorically, what's going to happen when someone (like me) wants to fly UAVs/RC with the upcoming tower view (Thanks Jim, etal!)? [OK, I just read my incoming: email from Curt and David suggests that effectively something like beacons=false is going to be needed.] Regards, Michael >_______________________________________________ >Flightgear-users mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users ************************************************** Prof. Michael S.
