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.
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.
All the best,
David
