[Flightgear-devel] configure script does not detect metakit version

I installed plib-1.6.0, metakit-2.4.8, SimGear-0.2.0 (which needs metakit early version). Running configure script of FlightGear-0.8.0 gives the following error: checking for metakit 2.4.3 or newer... wrong version configure: error: Install metakit 2.4.3 or later first... It seems that

[Flightgear-devel] 0.9.0 release?

I'm thinking it's been a while since we've done a release. Virtually nothing has changed in the 0.8.x tree, but tons of stuff has been changing in the 0.9.x tree. I don't recall ever making a 0.9.0 release so we are probably well overdue for our first 0.9.x release. I would like to be a bit

Gents, It looks like it is not possible to specify an --aircraft in system.fgfsrc because the aircraft model is loaded before system.fgfsrc is processed (see program output below). Is this the intended behavior? I thought the processing order was supposed to be 1) preferences.xml, 2)
