Yeah, it's not newbie-compliant obviously :-)).

But on the other hand -- try to set your local time to something between
7pm and 9pm, you'll enjoy the nice sunset ;-)..

Only problem: one needs HUGE quantities of data in order to have good
sceneries and stuff..

unable to crash... Even trying hard, i swear it !
Quite impressive :-)

[Cooker] new and shiny FlightGear

2000-09-26 Thread Guillaume Cottenceau

Hi,

On `contribs' I just uploaded the new 0.7.5 version of FlightGear, the
famous Flight Simulation Program.

This new version includes bugfixes that now make the software really
usable; additionally I included a menu entry now.

If your line can download easily the 15 Mbytes worth of the package [plus
the 135 kbytes of SimGear-0.0.13 which is required], and if you got a
3d-accelerated configuration of course, give it a try, it's neat..
