Hi George, At first glance, this looks awesome. I'm going to give it a thorough workout within the next few days and let you know how I make out.
If you'd be interested, I'd be willing to help you create a PDF file of the tutorial. There's a low cost ($20 USD) pdf editor available from www.pdf995.com . It was featured in the October 18, 2005 issue of PC-Magazine. I'd be more than happy to convert your document into pdf. All I would need is the photos in jpeg format. Regardless of the outcome, kudos and congratulations on your superb effort to create this tutorial. Ed and Joanne Baker (www.theworld.com/~ejb) P.S. Some people in the Linux/Unix camp tend to look down on MS-Windows users. I used to be in that camp myself. I've been an active unix user since 1979 and I owned a copy of Slackware linux when it was distributed on 19 three and one half inch floppies. I'm not a rooky when it comes to working in Unix. However, I refuse to run Flightgear on a unix box. I'll concede that Unix/Linux is great ... no doubt about it ... but, as they say two hundred and twenty five million Beatles fans can't be all wrong. If Flightgear plans to draw a large audience (and I think it is worthy of it), the Flightgear community HAS TO REALIZE that they MUST appeal to the MS-Windows community. That's just the facts ... it's not an opinion, it's not an "us versus them" scenario. It's just what it is. There's no denying it. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 10/2/2005 at 9:15 PM Georg Vollnhals wrote: >======================================================== >FLIGHTGEARTOOLS Version 1.0 for Win32 >======================================================== >FlightGearTools is the startup for a tool collection for FlightGear >under Win32. >The first "page" is related to MAP, ATLAS and FlightGear+Atlas on one PC. >There might be some more "pages" for other stuff if there is interest >from the user-side. > >My intention is to make things easier for those people who are not >interested in the >complicated stuff you need to make things working but want to use an >alternative >and promising flightsim. > >I put the complete package as a *.zip file today on my homepage before >uploading it >to the AVSIM filelibrary (FlightGear) within the next week. >The reason for this is > a) to have some feedback from users which might result in improving >something > before having it deposited at AVSIM where a change is not easy. > USER: > Please download the package, read the manual carefully, >install FlightGearTools, > install Map/Atlas, do some map work and contact me as soon >as possible! > b) to have some feedback of developers who might not want the >package but > can read the manual online and give some more hints. > DEVELOPER: > Please read the manual below.
