Hi Gerard,
I also was a little astonished and disappointed when I followed the
discussion about a new FG release very soon.
A lot of users simply can't start version 0.9.9 as I learned by many of
them emailing and complaining about my FGTools not to be compatible with
the new version (-> all Windows users)
When we analysed their problem it was 95% that FlightGear did not run
either with FGTools nor fgrun or by using the command-line option of
windows. It just crashed... :-((
People who wrote me had generally sufficient hardware, most of them
better than I have, and after my advice they tried all (updating
video-drivers, trying other OpenGL software..) one could do.
I did not notice any workaround for this severe problem :-(
I also reported some strange behaviour (error messages) when
installing/running FlightGear 0.9.9 on my daughters PC for test purposes
but better would have spend my time with other things as nearly noone
actually has interest in debugging 0.9.9.
This is far behind my personal skills, I just can report ..
All plans for version 1.0.0 should be stopped until we have a solution
for this general severe problem after my opinion.
Then we could think about an official new version release.
And to be honest, when I am thinking of a 1.0.0 version release from
user side, it should have some really missing features as Melchior,
cmetzler, Paul and others have already suggested.
But it seems that the train can't be stopped before the broken bridge ..
Regards
Georg

Thanks Melchior for your answer.
That is the opportunity to say:
I wonder about these addons to FG,
are these new functionalies useful ?
more than a good review and correction of errors and disfunctions within
FG.
How many users are still using 0.98 because they cannot use 0.99
Wasn't it forecast to deliver a GOOD 0.99 FLIGHTGEAR ?,
our existing one is not accurate.
May be the development team don't remember the big discussions we had
(USER) after getting the 0.99 FG buggy.
Some of them where "shocking to see how many people did not try one of
the
prereleases."
I am shocking to see they don't listen to the USERS
Cheers
