Seeing this is probably the first aircraft a new user will try what a great advert.A panel that is upside down in the middle of the night with no engines running and no obvious way of getting them started. I mean if the idea is to discourage people from using FG I could not think of a better way. Reading all the other threads currently runing talking about making FG user friendly and the new version has this.At least the 737 works maybe it should be the default aircraft and then when people have mastered it they can move onto something more difficult like the 172.

You seem to neglect the fact that there are certain special purpose models around that are not designed for use by the average user but that is very useful for what it's designed for. But this is an advanced feature that is proposed to average users, and near the top of the list in fgrun. So dependencies really needs to be sorted out to be able to remove that option from the default package. -Fred ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

I guess this then begs the question what is a special purpose model doing in a release version. Just out of curiosity what purpose does a half submerged 172 serve. Are we working on an emergency rescue scenario. :-) Erik Cheers Innis ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
