There's politics at work here so

Can we tile the panel background...i mean rather than having one single
texture? Doing so could make it possible to have cleaner looking 2D panels
and allow textures like this one to work on hardware that only supports
256x256 (like my voodoo3 :))

Seems like the wheel rumble could be modified (amplified?) to sound kind of
like a rocket rumble.

Could someone chnage the aero section of X24B-set.xml to X24B instead of
x24b and change X24B/x24b.xml to X24B/X24B.xml (or make them at least
equal), this would make it work for Irix (at least, maybe other unices
also).

This one is new to me as it was not necessary in 0.7.8. The rest was already

has been there as long as I know FlightGear.
