[Flightgear-devel] Help offered !!!
Hi guys, just joined the mailing list yesterday. Could you guys please tell me where to start. I'm a full-time programmer, and I'm a member of the Friends of the South African Air Force Museum, which means I have endless info on hundreds of aircraft we have there, eg. Douglas DC-3 Dakota Douglas DC-4 Skymaster North American T-6 Harvard Avro Shackleton Aerospatiale Super Frelon Aerospatiale Puma Aerospatiale Alouette II and III Transall C-160 Aermacchi MB.326 Impala ...etc.at least one example of all the aircraft the South African Air Force ever had.

I'm a full-time programmer, and I'm a member of the Friends of the South African Air Force Museum, which means I have endless info on hundreds of aircraft we have there, eg. a.. Douglas DC-3 Dakota (etc.) We'd be interested in aero data on any and all of the planes you list, especially flight-test data (lift and drag coefficients, etc.). I've been considering making a trip to the Canadian National Aviation Museum (if you can call a 15-minute drive across town a trip) to see if they have any data hidden in their archives -- there are a lot of old propliners and bush planes both inside and outside the museum. We're also very interested in contributions from C++ coders -- there are areas in FlightGear that still need an awful lot of work, and perhaps more importantly, there are thousands of lines of existing code that need to be reorganized to simplify the architecture and make it more consistent. If you're interested in 3D work or GIS, you might want to look at our scenery-generation software TerraGear, which has been sadly neglected of late.

Perhaps we need a TODO file in cvs containing specific suggestions and/or small project ideas. Something like the projects page on the website but with more detail.
