So can someone comment on what files are required and what files are not, in
order to get this working for a given airport, starting from scratch? I was
trying to follow along the thread but I got a little lost.
Again, perhaps I am just being too demanding on the time of complete
strangers, but I sure would appreciate a quick-and-dirty step-by-step now that
we as a group have worked this out. Then it might not hurt to have such a
document included in the Wiki because I think the existing article is a little
over my head (and I'm generally considered a pretty bright guy -- just not a
programmer!).
Thanks so much.
Cheers,
-R.

I ran FLightGear from the commandline, using:
fgfs --airport=YMML --aircraft=ufo --start-date-gmt=2008:05:03:02:15
--log-level=debug
I entered this command line into a terminal window, took off in the UFO
and banked around to get a look at the AI aircraft on the tarmac. I hit the
't' key to accelerate time to the scheduled departure time... and the AI
aircraft started its pushback! It turned around, taxied to runway 27, and
took off!
Well, blow me down!
So it tried my usual FlightGear command line, as follows:
fgfs --airport=YMML --aircraft=ufo --timeofday=noon
...and it still worked! It started its pushback immediately, but I'm certain
that I Didn't Change Anything(tm) since my last post. Anyway, it is working,
and I am very impressed. Congratulations to you and the rest of the
development team.
Incidentally, if you have something going, I'd be happy to "officially"
include them in our data directory.
Great. It will be some time before I have anything I'd like to make
"official", though. I'm still getting to know FlightGear.
One thing to note Re: FlightGear 0.9.10 is that it contains a small hard coded
push back sequence. This has been implemented in a more appropriate way in
FlightGear 1.0.0.
Yes, the pushback sequence I saw would have collided with some nearby
terminal buildings. I'm not too fussed about that, though. I need to create a
much more realistic ground network before I can comment on the ground
movements.
This actually made me think that we probably should have some more meaningful
messages.
Yes, please.
Regards,
Greg Hawkes
