[Flightgear-devel] Please use meaningful subject lines
Hi, with sometimes more than a hundred daily posts I'm far from reading them all. Usually I just glance over the subject, read some 2 or 3 posts from the start of a thread and then decide to ignore (or follow) it completely. Having now found out that e.g. under the subject 'fgrun improvements' things like frame rate drops for specific video cards, enhanced lighting at airports etc. were discussed makes me wonder what I have missed in other threads.. :-( So please, if you find that the topic of the post doesn't find the subject line, don't hesitate to change it. Probably in the form Topic YYY (was: Topic XXX). Or even better start a new thread. Thank you, Thomas ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Everyone should be clear to start building binary versions for their favorite platforms. FlightGear binaries can be found at the usual place: http://www.1stweb.nl/~ehofman/fgfs/ I'm building a set of binaries on top of Yoper and have been wondering about distrubiting them. They (probably) will work (and I'd like to find out for sure if there are any volunteers) on recent releases of rpm systems (Fedora C3, Mandrake 10.x, maybe even Suse 9.2. I'd like are suggestions as far as where these can be posted. I just don't have the bandwidth here. I can help with Fedora C3.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Replay mode
Am Montag 17 Januar 2005 17:50 schrieb Jim Wilson: Having just hit it unintentionally, I'm wondering if the replay key should be bound to a combo key (a Ctrl+key) or Fxx key? It has pretty dramatic and sudden effect. Making it the r binding not very good UI design (unless one is doing more replays than flying). For some reason I thought r was reverser. It'd be nice to have r and R for thrust reverser on/off, which is a binding that is as fundamental for the jet aircraft as the brake keys or magnetos are for the others. If there is consensus on this one change (not a discussion of the entire layout again please :-)) then I can commit a change or wait for post release. It seems that this as a non-critical UI-bug. IIRC, there is a keyboard.xml in $FG_ROOT where you can define the key bindings of FG. So no code change should be necessary.

Here's a couple of views of the first, also showing off the object positioning: http://flightgear.stockill.org.uk/models/ This looks great. I whish someone would create such a scenery for Germany (or at least Bavaria)... I've begun some scenery work for the Berlin area. I'd like to see some place/db where you could upload models and coordinates, which creates corresponding .stg files. PS: For Bavaria you can get the official 1:5 (or is it even 1:25000) maps and air pictures for free from the net. But they are only in pixel format (not vector format) and the UI isn't that great to do some harvesting Really??? That's great. In Brandenburg they only provide it commercially with a tremendous price tag (1 per square kilometer - 3 for the whole state Brandenburg) What's the URL?
