Sorry Vivian, i know you are not involved    about:

0.99 is not right    => only one example   i have described error about
weather scenario and 3d clouds, is it solved? NO it is not.

Nobody can say 0.99 is right.
Instead of it we get new addons  with compilation errors.
Where is the forecast quality ?


This is pretty disrespectful to the person who put in a lot of work to advance 3d clouds to the point that they are. Yes, there is more work to be done with 3d clouds, but open-source development is not an all or nothing thing. The fact that you cite this as your first (best?) example of the problems with v0.9.9 leads me to believe you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of open-source development and the history of 3d clouds in flightgear. There is a reason that 3d clouds are not yet the default ... that is implicite recognition that they aren't finished yet. But, they are interesting enough to include so people can play around with them and enjoy them. So you pointed out that the clouds are still unfinished. We all know that. The 3d cloud author will do more work on them when he has a chance I'm sure.

Why don't we move on to more useful and constructive discussions? Perhaps you wish to help make the 3d clouds better and have some questions about getting started? That would be a productive discussion.

Since you seem to have a misunderstanding of the open-source culture, let me say this again. It is the people who make positive contributions to the project who get to make all the decisions and who get to 'lead' the project in whatever direction they take it. People who do nothing

Sure i do nothing, and i will do nothing,  BYE

but complain, well they do nothing but complain, and that gets old after a while.

Regards,

Curt.

My 2 cents worth again ;)
My hat is off to the developers and contributors who continue on with this project .... despite the constant bickering and whining of people who cant just appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this FREE simulator .Its a fantastic ***** FREE **** program .... and only gets better with time ! And yes , my PR skills suck ! ;)
Keep up the good work !

Syd
